Proudly Colorado
With the Rockies as our backdrop, Colorado has always been home. Visit our flagship brewery in Fort Collins or our Denver small batch brewhouses in the Five Points and Sloan’s Lake neighborhoods.
THESE VIBES DON’T MAKE THEMSELVES
As we approach our 36th anniversary, we’ve been reflecting on what it means to be a local, independent brewery. TLDR? We own it. The hard work, the vision, our footprint and our place in the community. All so you can own it too.
BUILT FROM THE GROUND UP
Founded in 1989, Odell Brewing was started by Doug Odell, his wife Wynne, and his sister Corkie.
Over thirty years later, the culture of family and collaboration still thrives, fostering a brewery full of beer-centric people. It is this passion for beer that inspires Odell Brewing to create quality, hand-crafted, innovative brews.
Independent Since ’89
The Odell family founded a brewery full of beer-centric people back in 1989. Odell Brewing is employee owned and committed to its independence for generations to come.
Investing In The Planet
We’re operating the largest carbon dioxide recapture system in Colorado craft beer, eliminating 1.4 million pounds of carbon emissions annually. Our commitment to process improvement saves over 10 million gallons of water per year.
Crafting Community
We contribute to hundreds of nonprofits annually, empowering their work in our communities. Each year, our co-workers volunteer over 2,000 hours and host over 50 non profit fundraisers.
Early Days
The Art of Brewing
We take great pride in the pioneering advances we’ve made in developing innovative beer styles and brewing techniques. From the intensive study of hopping techniques to the comprehensive analysis of historic beer styles, we’ve identified the optimal assemblage of beer characteristics in each of our handcrafted brands.
All of our packaged beer is brewed on our 135 barrel, custom Braukon Brewhouse. However, many of these packaged beers started as just an idea on our 5 barrel Pilot System. Experimentation and innovation is at the heart of how we brew.
