While the facility was officially opened in July 2016, it took just four months to make the adjustments needed to meet the standards required to receive OU certification.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Kosher community is growing rapidly. Whether it\u2019s for religious reasons or simply personal preference, consumers and businesses rely on OU\u2019s symbol as a seal of approval,\u201d said Rabbi Menachem Genack, CEO of OU Kosher. \u201cWe have worked with Blue Moon for more than 20 years and are pleased that they continue to partner with us as they expand their beer offerings to the kosher community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Kosher population is often overlooked by our industry, that\u2019s more than 10.5 million people in the U.S. alone,\u201d said Josh Luman, General Manager of Blue Moon Brewing Company \u2013 RiNo District. \u201cBecoming Kosher certified by OU was an obvious decision for us. Customers can feel 100% confident in the quality and standards we place on the ingredients used to brew our beers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Blue Moon recently moved from its landmark Sandlot location, which it had outgrown, and selected the RiNo neighborhood in order to stay in Denver and align with the neighborhood\u2019s inspirational and creative atmosphere. At the new location, customers are invited to try one of Blue Moon\u2019s more than 20 rotating beers, including its flagship Blue Moon Belgian White \u2013 Belgian Style Wheat Ale. In addition, there is a self-guided tour that guests can take at any time to learn about the history of the brand and the brewing process.<\/p>\n<p>Blue Moon obtained OU Kosher certification for all of its beers in 1995 and has placed the OU Kosher logo on its packaging ever since. Blue Moon will be promoting the Kosher certification of its RiNo facility by adding the OU logo to beer menus, promoting across social media and ensuring the OU symbol is included on all packaging.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About OU Kosher<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>OU Kosher is the foremost authority in kosher certification on <em>over 60 percent of <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>America\u2019s<\/em> produced foods and beverages from the coveted Oreo to the thirst-quenching\u00a0 Coca-Cola.
