Denver off the Wagon

Man, we have it rough in Colorado. So few breweries, so few amazing beers, no festivals, awful weather.. And now, add to all that the return of Odell’s Bourbon Barrel Stout? I’m moving.

Odell Brewing Rolls out the Barrel - Brewery celebrates the return of Bourbon Barrel Stout

 Fort Collins, CO. – On September 24, 2011 Odell Brewing will celebrate the highly anticipated return of its Bourbon Barrel Stout. This year’s batch boasts new bourbon barrels and an updated label that pays tribute to those barrels.

“We tweaked the process this year, to meet and maintain our highest quality standard,” said Brent Cordle, brewer and barrel aging manager for Odell Brewing. “We selected Woodford Reserve barrels for the 2011 batch, and the freshly emptied barrels were immediately shipped to us cold which preserved the integrity of the barrel and the beautiful bourbon flavor.”

Bourbon Barrel Stout has notes of sweet milk chocolate, smooth vanilla and roasted coffee beans. Upon barrel aging, traces of oak and caramel come forward. The bourbon barrels have a remarkable effect on the beer. In turn, the beer has a remarkable effect on the senses.

Odell Brewing will mark the return with a celebration on September 24^th in the brewery’s tap room. Guests can enjoy samples of the beer, local food truck fare as well as live music by the Buzz Brothers band from 3:30-5:30 p.m.

Bourbon Barrel Stout will be available in 750ml bottles throughout the brewery’s ten state distributor network.
