Odell just posted on Facebook that St. Lupulin will be returning this weekend. Gonna miss Runoff Red, but happy to welcome St. Lupulin back into the fold.
This is funny.. because I saw fresh St. Lupulin in San Antonio last week and I haven't seen it in Denver yet... I'm assuming they got it first because they just expanded to Texas... but.. yes I agree with @Prospero... Year round on this bad boy!!!
Love this one. Between Lupulin and now Rumble, this time of year has become my favorite beer season in CO.
Lupulin is one of my favorites, Rumble is phenomenal. I somehow managed to not buy any Runoff Red this year...beer fail.
Rumble is my favorite "normal" beer from Colorado, period. Lupulin and Odell Red (and the year-round Ska cans) aren't too far behind, though.
While I really enjoy their 3 seasonal beers, I wish they would do a fall one. But it cannot be an Oktoberfest... Hooray the Saint is back!
Instead of starting a new thread I will just add this here. From Craftbeer.com: "Fort Collins, CO – On April 19th, Odell Brewing will celebrate the return of Footprint RegionAle, its latest Cellar Series release beer made with ingredients sourced from each state in the brewery’s distribution footprint. “We added a new state to our footprint this year, so we had to add a new ingredient,” said pilot brewing and barrel aging manager, Brent Cordle. “Texas grapefruit was a scrumptious addition to this year’s beer.” First brewed in 2012, Footprint is a complex medley of regional flavors from each of the eleven states in which Odell Brewing distributes blended together to make one unique harmonious beer. The indigenous ingredients include hops and barley from Colorado and Idaho, Arizona prickly pear juice, wheat from Kansas and Wyoming, Minnesota wild rice, Nebraska corn, New Mexico green chiles, South Dakota honey, oak staves from Missouri, and new this year, Texas grapefruit. The final blend boasts a floral citrus nose with bright grapefruit up front on the pallet and just a hint of green chile and fruit from the prickly pear in the finish. Odell Brewing will celebrate the release of Footprint in the tap room on Saturday, April 19th. Guests can enjoy samples of the beer paired with local food truck fare, as well as live music by Tallgrass from 4-6pm. Footprint RegionAle will be available in 750 ml cork and caged finished bottles throughout the brewery’s eleven state distribution footprint." I never bothered with the original Footprint but will give this one a try, not being a fan of wheat beers (at least ones that lack some tartness/sourness). Might give this one a try when I find it on tap. Looks like 59'er is still having its kinks being worked out. Bummer, as I am far more excited for that one than this one, personally.
To me Footprint is one of those beers that sounded really impressive, but was just "meh." It reminds me a little of the New Belgium/Cigar City collaboration. You read about all of the zaniness involved in it but when you finally taste the beer it tastes like a blonde ale with a vague oddness about it.
Agreed completely. The flavors just didn't blend well together and it was a novelty beer for sure. Great idea and cool concept, but just ehhhh
I love that St. Lupulin comes out every Spring. It's just such a perfect spring/early summer brew to enjoy outside in FOCO. It a tie for 1st among Odell IPA and Myrcenary for me when it comes to Odell brews.
Psh, I'm still enjoying the hell out of lugene right now. I even got some snow at my house last night, can't be drinking that hoppy stuff yet... But I can't wait to get my hands on some this season!
