The former CEO of Crazy Mountain Brewing Co. is suing the company he founded in 2010.
Kevin Selvy filed a lawsuit against the Denver-based brewery on March 11, alleging that the company still owes him $21,112 in unpaid salary and other expenses — years after firing him.
That amount has since increased to $37,294 due to Colorado Wage Act penalties, Selvy says in his lawsuit.
Selvy served as CEO until Crazy Mountain’s board of directors, which represents 20 or so investors who own the company, voted to replace him.
Selvy claims in his lawsuit that he was terminated on Dec. 31, 2018. Barry Watkins, the company’s CEO, disagreed with that timeline. He said he assumed the role in May 2019, at which time Selvy’s role at the company was reduced to president. Selvy’s contract expired at the end of 2019, according to Watkins.
