notes: label: Description
content: Kim Jordan and Jeff Lebesch used this milk can, sourced from a nearby dairy, to store yeast during the early years of their brewery, New Belgium Brewing Company. Jordan and Lebesch founded the brewery in the basement of their home in Fort Collins, Colorado, in 1991. Unable to find equipment suited to small-scale brewing, early microbrewers often repurposed equipment from dairies and wineries.
