From Odyssey:
I hope this finds you staying busy, healthy, and sane. Last Friday, masked
and gloved up, we FINALLY packaged the Media Darling Scottish Ale we brewed
with many of you for Collab Fest. The beer and the labels (see attached)
came out great!
The release date will be next Friday, May 1st, and we'll be donating $2 from
each 4-pack sold to the Colorado Brewers Guild to help out from the lack of
Collab Fest this year. We hope to sell out of this beer ASAP to make room
for more new releases and would greatly appreciate your help in getting the
word out. Please feel free to ask any questions and/or stop by for samples!
The description for Media Darling Scottish Ale, as you provided, is as
follows:
* Brewed alongside Colorado's intrepid beer media for Collaboration
Fest 2020, Media Darling Scottish Ale is making headlines with its creamy
mouthfeel and mildly sweet flavors of toasted caramel and toffee. There's no
fake news here -- just the facts, and the facts are that journalists,
bloggers, podcasters, influencers, and other media love good beer just as
much as the reading public. Now that's a scoop!
In other news: While COVID-19 has sucked in general, and has definitely had
a drastic, negative effect on Odyssey Beerwerks, it has also provided us an
opportunity to have a little fun. When the crisis caused breweries/taprooms
to shut down, we were left with fermenters filled with beer that was
originally intended to be taproom-only draft releases. With the help of some
amazingly talented and generous local artists, we quickly pivoted to canning
each of those beers for taproom-only can releases! Please see the release
dates for those beers below:
* Friday, 4/17 - C.R.E.A.M. (Cash Rules Everything Around Me) Ale

We're very proud of these releases (Jake, head brewer, is killing it) and
we'd love to have your review on any/all of the beers being release over the
next three weeks, so please let me know if you have any questions or would
like to stop by for samples.
