Athletic Brewing and Netflix Launch Marine Odyssey IPA

Inspired by Netflix’s new five-part documentary series Our Oceans1, Marine Odyssey IPA celebrates the beauty and complexity of our shared seas. This limited-edition hazy IPA features a majestic mix of hops, and a delicate grain blend for a bright and refreshing drinking experience. 

“We’re thrilled to unveil the second release of our three-part collaboration series with Netflix,” said Andrew Katz, Chief Marketing Officer of Athletic. “Just as Our Oceans uses groundbreaking technology to capture the hidden beauty of marine life, Marine Odyssey embodies the spirit of innovation and dedication to quality. We hope this release invites viewers to dive deeper into the wonder of our oceans and inspires a renewed appreciation for the natural world around us.”

Marine Odyssey is now available, just in time for the debut of Our Oceans, which premiered on Netflix on Nov. 20. Marine Odyssey will be sold nationally at select retail locations across the U.S. and on the Athletic website. Customers in Canada will also be able to purchase Marine Odyssey online.

Narrated by former President Barack Obama, Our Oceans takes viewers on a 75,000-mile cruise across and beneath the oceans, giving us unprecedented access to some of the most unexplored realms of our planet. Using cutting-edge scientific research and newly-developed underwater filmmaking technology, the series overflows with stunning action sequences, eye-popping drone footage, intimate seabed closeups, and countless never-before-seen animal behaviors. Discover the stories beneath the surface of the water in this stunning nature documentary series, which explores each of the Earth's five oceans. Watch the official trailer for Our Oceans on YouTube. 

Marine Odyssey utilizes premium ingredients, including carefully selected hops and grains. The result is an aromatic wave of grapefruit, orange, and lemongrass. Each 12 oz. can of Marine Odyssey is less than 0.5% ABV and contains 60 calories, 14g of carbs, <1g of protein, and 0g of fat.
