Would you be more likely to visit a local brewery that serves beer and wine together?

Odell Brewing Co., which operates taprooms in Fort Collins and Denver, expanded its beverage service so customers can purchase beer, wine, cider, and other drinks on one check. The company obtained a new brewpub license that allows it to offer its full beverage lineup indoors under one roof.

Why it matters

Previously, beverages could be enjoyed together only outdoors, which became impractical once colder weather arrived. The change extends the company's full drink menu to indoor settings across Colorado.

Odell's taprooms in Denver now serve wine, ciders, and spritzes for the first time, with Five Points Brewhouse and Sloan's Lake Brewhouse and Pizza Kitchen both offering these drinks. The OBC Wine Project, which opened in Fort Collins in 2021, is the company's wine operation alongside its brewery.

Culture Shift

The expansion reflects Odell's move from its 1989 founding as a single Fort Collins brewery toward a multi-drink, multi-location taproom model across Colorado. It mirrors a broader shift in which craft breweries add wine, cider, and food to keep customers on site year-round.

Colorado drinkers at Odell's Denver taprooms can now order wine, ciders, and spritzes alongside beer. Customers at Fort Collins and Denver locations can settle beer, wine, and cider purchases on a single check.

The takeaway

Customers who want a full range of drinks in one visit can now find beer, wine, cider, and spritzes under one roof at Odell's taprooms, with a single check covering all of them.
