E-Malt.com News article: USA, CO: Odell Brewing to celebrate the return of its Bourbon Barrel Stout

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, the company announced on September, 20.

“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.”

Odell Brewing will mark the return with a celebration on September 24th 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 states distributor network.

Founded in 1989, Odell Brewing was started by Doug Odell, his wife Wynne, and his sister Corkie. Twenty-one years later, the culture of family and collaboration still thrives fostering a brewery full of beer-centric people. It is this passion for beer that inspires Odell Brewing to create quality, hand-crafted, innovative brews. In 2010 the brewery completed its fourth expansion, adding a wood-aging cellar, a 750 ml bottling line, and a 76 kilowatt photovoltaic system capable of providing 25% of the brewery’s peak energy demand.
