ABOUT ODELL BREWING

Since 1989, the culture of collaboration has thrived, fostering a company with a purpose for building community through beer. It is this purpose that inspires Odell Brewing to create quality, hand-crafted and innovative brews and beverages. Odell Brewing is committed to providing exceptional service to its customers while making positive contributions to their co-workers and community through its outreach and charitable giving programs. In 2015, Odell sold the majority of the company to its co-workers (now co-owners) in a combined management buyout and Employee Stock Ownership Program.
