Come drink some beers from Odell Brewing

December 7th, 2009 / No Comments »

Local favorite, Odell Brewing out of Fort Collins, is our proud beer sponsor for this event! We are so lucky to have such a yummy beer company come out to support 2 very deserving youth mentoring charities.

A bit of their story….

Odell BrewingIn 1989, Doug and Wynne Odell moved to Fort Collins to be closer to Doug’s sister, Corkie, who joined forces with them to open Odell Brewing Co.  Today we have over 40 employees and brew about 45,000 barrels of beer a year.  We’re passionate about our beer and our community.  Our dedication to brewing quality and innovative beer begins on our pilot system.  Part kitchen, part lab, part playground, our pilot system gives our brewers the freedom to create and experiment with new beer recipes.  All of our beers begin this way – poured into a pint glass and passed around the brewery for tasting and input.  We have a lot of fun creating pilot beers to share in our Tap Room, the home of our Charity of the Month program. This program gives our Tap Room visitors the option to donate the money they spend on a taster tray back to the charities of the month.  We hope to see you in our newly expanded brewery, that we’re proud to say will be more than one third solar powered!  Cheers.

We are so happy to have Odell Brewing show support for our causes and have them represented at this event.

Colorado has shown an overwhelming support for Bordo Bello this year, and we couldnt be more proud.

So now… just make sure you are all there!
