Pick Six: Odell Brewing Founder Doug Odell

Odell Brewing Founder Doug Odell’s discriminating palate for full-flavored beers goes all the way back to 1978, when he got his start in the brewing industry. His six-pack (with one bonus beer) is an expedition of flavors from all over the world.

Inspired by flavorful beers with discerning ingredients, Doug Odell (along with wife Wynne and sister Cookie) launched Odell Brewing Co. back in 1989 with the promise to make honest, real, and creative renditions of the beer styles that moved him. As the brewery has grown (3rd largest in Colorado and 34th largest in the United States), he’s racked up eight World Beer Cup and fifteen GABF medals but even more importantly has gained the admiration of fellow beer lovers who appreciate his skill for finding balance and drinkability in the midst of significant and distinctive flavor.

His six pack is as diverse as his brewing influences, with an even representation from the old-school European powerhouses (German, Belgium, and England) plus some classic and creative American contemporaries.
