Today I have a new NA beer, and this one is coming from Odell<\/a> Brewing in Fort Collins, CO<\/a>. <\/p>\n This is Batch 1 IPA Non-Alcoholic Brew<\/b> and it will be a non-alcoholic<\/a> IPA that will hit less than 0.5%-AbV. You\u2019re looking at the 16oz can<\/a> and stay tuned for release<\/a> details.\u00a0 zzubreebym<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWith over 35 years of brewing experience, Odell is proud to introduce our first line of non-alcoholic brews. For Batch 1 IPA, our brewers hand-selecte the freshest modern hops to craft a highly aromatic beverage with bold tropical and citrus notes, balanced by a refreshing malt character. Join us as we explore the complex and rewarding world of non-alcoholic flavor, proof that full flavor doesn\u2019t need full ABV.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n 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.<\/i><\/p>\n 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\u2019s Lake neighborhoods.<\/i><\/p>\n 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.<\/i><\/p>\n We\u2019re 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.<\/i><\/p>\n 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.<\/i><\/p>\n In 2015, the Odell family founders sold the majority of the company to its co-workers (now co-owners) in a combined management buyout and an Employee Stock Ownership Program. Since the beginning the people who helped build Odell Brewing Co have acted like owners. This just made it official.<\/i><\/p>\n Doug Odell\u2019s Passion for craft beer started in the 70\u2019s with his first job at San Francisco\u2019s Anchor Brewing Company scrubbing the mash tun.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/li>\n After his time at Anchor, Doug moved to Seattle where he continued to homebrew, perfected some recipes and met his wife Wynne.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/li>\n While honeymooning in the UK, Doug and Wynne were inspired by the many small breweries that were successfully selling flavorful real ale, and decided they wanted to take Doug\u2019s passion commercial.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Doug and Wynne were looking for the perfect town to start their brewery. Doug\u2019s sister Corkie was living in Fort Collins and sold them on the cozy college town, which unlike Seattle, didn\u2019t have any other craft breweries.\u00a0 The three of them joined forces to open up the brewery in 1989.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/li>\n The original brewery was located in a 1915 grain elevator just a few blocks from where the current brewery sits. Their first commercial release was Odell\u2019s Golden Ale brewed with all malt and a modest hop build. 90 Shilling came along soon after, and remains the brewery\u2019s top selling flagship.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n![\"Odell](\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEg1pY_6WfR4ODXlqH3spw3fMEKR8OKbWeaZpwsDA558C0pIzZBGDqhBqqt2Qlz7NuwlN8MWB5fs6un_e9VIBvMS_jE5iXfzaTQ9npajlAnlA1s3efQRBP8MuvBTjMQG4xrzlR5_V7zxJF3YMPVp6LVMgPWOwzdV8gamjnotFzVmNtr8mS1FkN9I90MbCCs\/s1337\/apostMBB.jpg\" "\\"Odell")
