Odell Brewing's Twitter Beer


Odell Brewing of Fort Collins, CO has rolled out a Twitter-sourced beer. Odell is a client of Reel Motion Media and we've been helping them every step of the way to connect and engage their fans in a whole new way.

You can follow Odell on twitter at www.twitter.com/odellbrewing. Be sure to suggest your favorite style of beer to be the twitterbrew that will be produced on Odell's famous 5 barrel pilot system.

While we've learned of other twitter inspired beers, like 21st Amendment Brewing's "Spring Tweets", we really hope that Odell's twitter beer will be different as it leverages the homebrew spirit at the core of Odell's culture and allows people who wouldn't normally get to homebrew a chance to get in on the action, if only via Twitter.

From the press release:

A Twitter Taste in Your Mouth

Odell Brewing Releases First Twitter Community Brew


On May 30, 2009, Odell Brewing will release the first Twitter community inspired brew.

Followers have until April 19, 2009 to tweet their suggested beer styles for the first Twitter Brew poll. Subsequent polls will be conducted to determine beer qualities like color, strength, body, and hop character. Twittering beer lovers can also tweet ideas for beer names and tap handle designs.

The voting will end on May 8, 2009 and brewer, Jeff Doyle will then brew the Twitter Brew on Odell Brewing's Pilot brewing system. "There are so many people who are interested in brewing but don't really have the means to do it," said Doyle. "The Twitter Brew will give them the chance to get involved with the whole process."

Twitter brewers can try their beer at the brewery's Tap Room during the tapping party on May 30, 2009.
