Tebo claims $154,000 in brewpub bankruptcy

BOULDER — Major regional developer and landlord Stephen Tebo is claiming he is owed $154,000 after brewpub chain Growler USA filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy Monday.

In filings with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court of Colorado, the Centennial-based chain of bars and restaurants estimated its liabilities at $1 million to $10 million.

Tebo Development Co. is listed as an unsecured creditor for $154,000. While the filing does not say what product or service Tebo’s company provided to Growler, the claim is marked as “contingent, unliquidated and disputed” and could be difficult to collect.
