Beer Review 131: Odell Brewing Co Myrcenary Double IPA

November 19, 2012

Hello Beer Friends Nation!

We’re back after technical difficulties (Brad was really lazy and couldn’t get off the couch) and have only three days until Thanksgiving!  While the Beer Friends are thankful for beer, we would also like to be your go-to blog for thanksgiving beers.  Whether it be rare and  impressive beers that you can elevate your status to official “Beer Geek” around your friends or just some really good booze that has mom and dad worried and looking up numbers for AA – we’ve got you covered.

Today is a Beer Geek status beer – but not really hard to find if you live in Colorado or surrounding states.  Odell Brewing Company is out of Fort Collins, Colorado and been brewing delicious beer while New Belgium gets most of the love.  However – once people get a taste that usually all changes and while the fancy factory has reservation times and silly follies – Odell is brewing delicious beer with a laid back brewpub and parties every weekend.  Today we review Myrcenary 2xIPA – which features the essential oils of the hop cone with a citrusy punch.

Check back often for more beer buying suggestions this week – the true beer geek would be a little nervous about what beer to drink on Thanksgiving – meanwhile the turkey is burnt and stuffing is ruined… it can still be a good day.

Beer Review 73: Odell Cutthroat Porter

July 12, 2011

Hello Beer Friends Nation!

Full Disclosure -last week we mentioned we liked beer, a lot, this week we mention we like Colorado Beer, a lot.  This week’s SPotW is Odell Brewing Companies Cutthroat Porter.  Odell is located in Fort Collins, Colorado and was a excellent stop (twice in fact!) on the Colorado Brewery Tour.  Odell currently has a smaller distribution range (8 states and they mentioned something about England soon with their traditional English style brewing techniques) so if you find it, get it. Small Distribution!  Big Delicious Taste! Rare Beer!

BFF4 – Brad Bracket First Round

March 21, 2011

Hello Beer Friends Nation!

It’s that time of year where EVERYONE is swept up in the madness… yes – Beer Friends Final Four Beer Bracket is BACK!

Forget Louisville in the First Round and bubble teams, we’re talking ales in the First Round and drinking the suds…

This year we (kinda) followed a regional bracket match up instead of the style like last year.

Brad’s Bracket includes beers from Colorado and the Michigan area (somehow Great Lakes snuck in there…).  Vote your favorite brew through and pick that Cinderella team, sorry, stout.  Pick the winner and hold it over your friends heads until the next year (Brooklyn’s Dark Matter anyone?) Beer!  Voting!

The 1 vs 16 match up pits Last Years winner, New Belgium’s Fat Tire against a stout from Boulder – Avery’s Out of Bounds Stout.  The Out of Bounds was delicious when infused with coffee, but Fat Tire seems like the fan favorite – should be interesting.  See more of this entry for voting!

Feature Brewery: Odell’s Brewing Company

February 9, 2011

Hello Beer Friends Nation!

While almost everyone has heard of New Belgium Brewery, Fort Collins has another major player in beer brewing and sales, Odell’s Brewing Company. A little lesser known, but the quality of everything they do is outstanding.  The Beer Friends visited on a Saturday and they happen to be setting up for a party that started at 2pm – which every Saturday they have a party that starts at 2pm!  We tried a few beers and then had to run, look back in the future for Odell’s to be the Beer Friends Brewery of the Week and read below for the few taste we did get in!

Phil:

1st: Cutthroat Porter is fan-freaking-tastic! Off a Nitro Pour it has a wonderful smokey flavor that has just a hint of coffee if you look hard enough.
