Fort Collins-based Odell Brewing will open a brewery and taphouse in Denver’s River North Art District by the end of this year — complete with patio space, an area for live music and fire pits.

The announcement on Monday comes as craft brewers have been moving en masse into RiNo, including New Belgium Brewing Company and Great Divide Brewing Co.

The Odell location will be at the corner of 30th and Larimer streets and will feature a 10-barrel pilot brewhouse in a two-story building built in 1917. The brewer — which has been around since 1989 — says the site is next to where Shake Shack will be moving in.

Within a block are Epic Brewing Company and Ratio Beerworks, meaning that the Brighton Boulevard and Curtis Park areas will be a craft-beer mecca of sorts. Nearby, at 26th and Walnut streets, craft-beer enthusiasts can try a plethora of beers at First Draft Barroom and Kitchen.

The RiNo spot will be Odell’s second brewery and taphouse and brings the popular beer company — a favorite among craft-brew enthusiasts, especially for its 90 Shilling Ale — into downtown. Construction and development will begin over the summer and the building will have two bars with 15 Odell tap handles, an outdoor patio with two fire pits, a live music/performance space and a partially-covered rooftop.

The pilot brewhouse will be focused on experimental beers only available in the taproom, Odell says.

“For years we’ve explored the potential of a second taproom, and Denver has always been at the top of that list,” Odell CEO Wynne Odell said in a statement. “It took a lot of patience, but we’re thrilled to be joining the RiNo community which has a booming craft beer scene and a long history of celebrating independent, creative businesses. When we realized we were going from Larimer County to Larimer Street, it just felt right.”

COO Brendan McGivney said that Odell’s pilot system has “been our proving ground, where we push ourselves to create new and innovative beers.”

“The RiNo brewery will be solely focused on that exploration, and we’re excited to share that with Denver, one of the most educated and passionate craft beer communities in the world,” he said in a written statement.
