Odell Brewing Company

Odell Brewing will release its most recent Cellar Series beer, Zard-Alu, a Sour Apricot Ale. Native of the Persian territory, apricots are commonly referred to as Zard-Alu. Apricots shine bright, while peach and pear-like flavors mingle in the background, as Brettanomyces and Lactobacillus create the tie that binds all the components. The end result is a complex ale that is playfully sour, light and refreshing.

Based in Fort Collins, Odell Brewing has, on average, grown production about 12.5 percent each year since it opened. The company, which sold about 110,000 barrels across 11 states in 2015, still maintains a set of core objectives that help it succeed at home and away: grow slow and don’t overreach. In 2016, however, Odell plans to press more firmly on the accelerator, projecting 21 percent volume gains and 23 percent revenue growth.
