★ Award winningKnown for Witbier

Blue Moon Brewing Company traces back to 1995, when brewer Keith Villa made the first batch of Belgian White at the SandLot Brewery inside Coors Field in Denver. Villa had studied brewing in Brussels and built the beer around Valencia orange peel, coriander, wheat and oats, served with an orange slice. The brand belongs to Molson Coors and is distributed nationwide, and in Canada since 2015. A brewpub in Denver's RiNo district opened in 2016 and closed in March 2025; the SandLot remains the brand's home brewery.

How we measure this

Two thresholds are at work here:

  • The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
  • The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.

A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
