(FORT COLLINS, COLO.,) June 2, 2014 - Born out of mutual respect and appreciation comes FOCOllaboration Ale, the first beer ever brewed collaboratively from both Odell and New Belgium Brewing. FOCOllaboration, an American Pale Ale, pours a deep, coppery hue. Caramel-kissed Fawcett Crystal Malt (an Odell favorite) delivers sweet, malty tones while Centennial, Cascade and Citra hops (New Belgium staples) offer herbal, fruity and piney notes. At 6.7% and 55 IBUs, FOCOllaboration offers a Colorado craft beer mashup for the ages.
“Over the years we’ve shared everything from laughter, to beers, to perspective,” said New Belgium Brewing CEO, Kim Jordan. “FOCOllaboration celebrates that camaraderie and the mutual respect of being a couple of brewers who grew up together in the same neighborhood.”
Odell and New Belgium are located less than a mile apart in what has been affectionately called the Beermuda Triangle of Fort Collins Brewing.
“After working just down the street from each other for 23 years, it seemed the right time to brew something together,” said Odell co-founder, Wynne Odell. “Our collaboration beer combines our long term friendship with our collective creativity resulting in a delightful, neighborly brew.
FOCOllaboration Ale is available now thru New Belgium’s Hop Kitchen series and will be available throughout Odell’s and New Belgium’s areas of distribution.
