SEASONAL TAPROOM ASSOCIATE - ODELL BREWING COMPANY

Odell Brewing Company has been a cornerstone of the craft brewing community since its establishment in 1989. Rooted deeply in the culture of family, collaboration, and a passion for beer, Odell Brewing has grown into a respected brewery known for creating high-quality, hand-crafted, and innovative brews. The company’s commitment to exceptional customer service and community involvement is reflected not only in their products but also in their outreach and charitable giving programs. Since 2015, Odell Brewing has been uniquely owned through a combined management buyout and Employee Stock Ownership Program, empowering its co-workers as co-owners to maintain their culture of ownership, positivity, and innovation. The brewery continues to thrive while keeping Colorado at the core of its identity.

Expanding beyond their prominent craft beer offerings, Odell Brewing launched the OBC Wine Project, a natural extension of their passion for unique flavors and artisan beverage crafting. This venture into wine production reflects their dedication to quality and creativity, with a wine cellar and tasting room situated adjacent to the Fort Collins brewery. The wine project uniquely offers wine on tap, in cans, and bottles, distributed widely throughout Colorado and neighboring states. Both the brewery and wine project emphasize creating memorable guest experiences while fostering a team-oriented environment driven by education, community engagement, and innovation.
