Odell Brewing Celebrates 10,000th Brew
Fort Collins, Colo. – On Wednesday July 14, 2010, Odell Brewing brewed their 10,000th batch of beer. The brewery will mark this milestone by celebrating their flagship beer, 90 Shilling.
90 Shilling was first introduced at the brewery’s opening party in 1989. Lighter than a traditional Scottish ale, 90 Shilling is an irresistibly smooth and delicious medium-bodied amber ale. The brew is named for the Scottish method of taxing beer where only the highest quality beers were taxed 90 Shillings.
“When we started brewing in 1989,” said Doug Odell, brewery founder. “90 Shilling was one of our first brews, and it was a big departure from the beers most people were drinking back then. Craft beer tastes have changed quite a bit since then, but 90 Shilling remains a flavorful and drinkable classic.”
On July 14th, Odell Brewing tour goers can learn special historical facts about 90 Shilling and the brewery. They are also invited to come back after the beer is packaged on August 4, 2010 for samples of the brew, live music, and 90 Shilling soaked brats courtesy of Beaver’s Market.
