COVID-19 Brewery & Taprooms Prevention Plan
/0 Comments/in Uncategorised /by Kristen WoodThe health and safety of our friends and community is of the utmost importance to us. For the time being both of our Fort Collins and Denver Brewhouses will remain open during our regular business hours and will be following recommendations of the CDC to ensure the health and safety of our employees and customers.
- We are following the CDC recommendations and asking coworkers to wash their hands using high friction, warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds.
- We are refraining from handshakes, high fives, and hugs with our friends and fans in order to avoid spreading germs.
- We are diligently communicating and training our teams on health and safety procedures.
- We are asking team members to refrain from coming into work if they show symptoms of COVID-19 and receive testing for the illness.
- We’re sanitizatizing high-touch areas (door knobs, sink handles, POS systems, taster trays, etc) every hour.
- We’ll be wiping tables and surfaces with antibacterial/antimicrobial disinfectant after each use.
- We are refilling sanitizer dispensers and regularly disinfecting bathrooms and sinks to promote regular hand washing.
- We will be canceling all public tours until further notice.
- As this is a fluid situation, you may see adjusted hours or modified operations. We’ll be sure to update our website with changes.
What You Can Do:
- When washing your hands please use high friction, warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds.
- Refrain from visiting our taprooms if you are showing symptoms of COVID-19.
- Your health and safety are important to us. Stay informed on COVID-19 by visiting the CDC website: www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/summary.html
Introducing Year-Round Colorado Lager
/0 Comments/in Uncategorised /by Kristen WoodOdell Brewing has announced their latest year-round offering, Colorado Lager. Available only in the brewery’s home state of Colorado, this beer will be released in 16 ounce 6-pack cans starting April 4th, with a 12 ounce 15-pack joining the portfolio later this May.
“Colorado Lager has been in the works for well over a year now. After countless test batches on our pilot system, we’re thrilled to share our interpretation of the style with the fans in our home state,” says Brendan McGivney, COO. “It’s a style we love to drink, and we think there’s a place for a lager in the craft beer lover’s fridge.”
Coming in at an approachable 5.0% ABV, Odell built their recipe using American hops, Colorado water, and premium malted barley without the addition of any adjuncts. “While the flavors are crisp and refreshing, a well-made lager takes a deft hand. It’s a tricky style to master,” adds McGivney. “Naming the beer after our home state gave it a lot of sentimental weight, and we knew we had to put in the hard work to make something we’d be proud to share.”
While Odell’s brand labels are known for their picturesque Rocky Mountain landscapes, Colorado Lager features a more restrained and cleaner look. “There’s a nostalgia around lagers. We wanted to give a nod back to the classic design but also make sure it fit within the Odell look and feel.” explains Eric Smith, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer.
The design is centered around a red color scheme that borrows from Odell’s leaf logo, and is built out of a pattern of icons that celebrates brewing and the Colorado lifestyle. “From the moment we started talking about this beer, we wanted it to be quintessentially Colorado, a tribute to our history and everything that makes this state a great place to live. The icons gave us a space to tell that story,” added Smith.
For the release of Colorado Lager, Odell is launching two new can packages – a 16 ounce 6-pack can and a 12 ounce 15-pack. “We wanted to explore packaging innovation within our portfolio. The 16 ounce can is perfect for the summer months, and the 15-pack was a natural fit for this style. Both packs offer a new option for our consumers that’s not often seen in our Colorado market,” explains Smith. Colorado Lager will be available across Odell Brewing’s home state of Colorado beginning the week of April 9th.
