True to its Imperial roots! This brew clocks in at 9.5% ABV, and over 100 IBUs! It is made with four varieties of grains resulting in a bold dark amber color and four varieties of hops, creating a subtle citrus aroma, and bitter, hoppy finish. Winner of a gold medal at the 2009 Santa Cruz National Organic Challenge, this recipe surely will not disappoint.
Style: Imperial IPA

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. As a regional craft brewery, Odell Brewing is committed to serving the communities in which it distributes by sourcing local raw materials, and through its charitable giving program known as Odell Outreach. Odell Brewing was recently named a “Top Company of 2010” by ColoradoBiz Magazine and is an award winning brewery, nationally and internationally: 2010 North American Beer Awards — gold medal for Woodcut No. 3. 2009 BrewNZ Awards — gold for 5 Barrel Pale Ale. 2008 World Beer Cup® — gold for IPA. 2007 Great American Beer Festival® — gold medal for IPA.
2 of the world’s top chefs. 70 craft brewers. Together you get some the the most mouthwatering pairings under one roof. The chefs are Adam Duyle from Monk’s Kettle in San Francisco, CA. The other – Teddy Folkman of Granville Moore Gastropub in Washington, D.C.
Check out the list to see the chef’s notes on food/beer pairings, including 21st Amendment, Alaskan Brewing Company, Avery , Dogfish Head, Deschutes, Boulevard, Nebraska Brewing & many more. Even if you aren’t going to Savor, read the list. Get some ideas. Example from Troeg’s pairing:
Flying Mouflan (Barleywine)
Paired w/ Hickory-Smoked Beef Riblet As Troegs likens this beer to hops dipped in candy sugar rolled in cocoa nibs we can think of nothing better than beefy fatty ribs dipped in peach and rolled in smoke.
Troegenator (Dopplebock)
Paired w/ New York Style Cheesecake Dark fruits and toffee add another layer to the cheesecake while the boozy finish cleans the creaminess right up
Shipyard Brewing (Portland, ME) is expanding. The brewery is undergoing a $1 million dollar expansion, adding more capacity & employees.

– Additional grain silo
– Expansion adds an additional turn. Shipyard will be able to brew 5 times a day.
– Expansion adds 5 employees
Unless you live under a rock and star in Geico commericals, you’ve heard about the wedding of Prince William to Kate Middleton at the end of April. It is being reported that the couple have banned the consumption of beer at their wedding reception. Beer is unsuitable, and not prestigious enough for royal guests. DigitalSpy mentions this quote:
“There won’t be any beer. Let’s face it, it isn’t really an appropriate drink to be serving in the Queen’s presence at such an occasion. It was always their intention to give their guests a sophisticated experience and they have chosen the food and drink with this in mind.”
I guess beer doesn’t pair well with quail eggs & Yorkshire pudding? Whole civilizations were built on beer & brewing. Still not good enough for royalty I guess. <DigitalSpy>
