Odell Brewing Company is a craft brewery in Fort Collins, Colorado. ==History== Odell was founded in 1989 by Doug, Wynne and Corkie Odell in a converted 1915 grain elevator located on the outskirts of downtown Fort Collins.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cobizmag.com/articles/best-companies-to-work-for-in-colorado-odell-brewing-co )〕 It was the second packaging craft brewery to open in Colorado, and the first in Fort Collins. Starting in his kitchen in Seattle, Doug Odell had spent ten years refining recipes and playing with brewing processes until he settled on the brewery's first two recipes, although not yet the names – 90 Shilling and Easy Street Wheat. After brewing and kegging his beer, Odell would deliver it, pick up empties, and make sales calls out of his old mustard-colored Datsun pickup. In 1994 the brewery constructed a building and brewed 8,300 barrels of beer.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.beerandbrewing.com/happy-25th-anniversary-odell-brewing/ )〕 In 1996, Odell Brewing amended its draft-only commitment and added a bottling line to start packaging six packs.〔 Numerous small expansions ensued. In 2009, the brewery again expanded, doubling its plant size to and increasing its beer sold to 45,000 barrels. In 2013, a new brew house was added, and the taproom and patio were remodeled. Odell Brewing is projected to sell 100,000 barrels in 2014, with the capacity to brew more than 300,000 barrels a year.〔 Currently, eight 400-barrel fermentation tanks are being added to the existing brewery.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.coloradoan.com/story/money/2014/11/20/odell-brews-new-expansion-plans/70033742/ )〕 In 2014, Odell Brewing Co. celebrated 25 years as a craft brewery.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://thefullpint.com/beer-news/odell-brewing-turns-25-month/ )〕 Week-long festivities included a Silver Lining Soiree, Oktoberfest celebration, and Cellar Series release of 180 Shilling. Odell Brewing also teamed up with Boulevard Brewing Company to release Silver Anniversary Ale, a collaboration commemorating both brewery's 25th anniversaries, just one day apart. In late 2014, Odell Brewing Co. employed 108 co-workers and distributes in 11 states and the UK. In 2013, it was ranked the 34th largest U.S. craft brewing company by the Brewers Association (based on 2013 beer sales volume), and ranked the 44th largest overall U.S. brewing company.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.brewersassociation.org/attachments/0001/4525/CBP13_Top_50.pdf )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Odell Brewing Company」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
