Odell Beers Hit Texas Taps

This will be the first new market for Odell in more than two years, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the brewery’s recently completed expansion.

On Monday, February 24, Odell Brewing’s beers will finally hit Texas taps.

Odell has partnered with Ben E. Keith Company to distribute its IPA, 90 Shilling, Seasonal Offerings--including St. Lupulin, Four Pack offerings, such as Myrcenary, and its limited release Cellar Series offerings. Draft beer will launch first, with a package launch to begin the week of March 31.

The brewery has a full week of launch events planned all over Texas, including a special tapping at Austin’s Pinthouse Pizza, which was started by former Odell brewer Joe Mohrfeld. Joe teamed up with Odell’s head of production, Brendan McGivney, to brew a collaboration beer that they once brewed together at Odell. T.A.P. TX honors that original recipe, but brings it into the session ale realm with just as many hops but a slightly lower ABV. T.A.P. TX is brewed with a blend of hops selected by the two brewers. It also features Colorado-grown barley that is hand malted by Branden Aide at his new Austin-based micro-maltster, Blacklands Malt.

"It is really exciting to brew Pinthouse Pizza's first out-of-state collaboration beer with my brewing mentor and friend, especially given the exciting news that Odell will be coming to Texas,” said Joe. “And we will be able to serve not only our collaboration beer, but also the beers they distribute to Texas here at Pinthouse Pizza."

T.A.P. TX will be available exclusively at Pinthouse Pizza beginning February 24 at 7 p.m. Both Brendan and Joe will be on hand to talk about brewing this collaboration beer.
