NEW PLANET FOUNDER RETIRES; NEW PRESIDENT NAMED

Pedro Gonzalez, who founded New Planet, a Boulder-based brewery producing gluten-free beers following his celiac diagnosis, retired in October. Phil Guana has now assumed the role of the company’s president, with the goal of expanding production and increasing the brewery’s national footprint.

“We are looking to streamline the process and increase selections as time goes on,” Guana says. “But in the immediate future, we are looking to expand the brand into new markets and give more customers access to New Planet Beer in new states.” New Planet currently sells two beers: a blonde ale and a pale ale.
