On April 4, 2011 Colorado’s Odell Brewing Company will begin selling its hand crafted beers in Idaho, which will be the 10th state in the brewery’s distribution region.

Odell Brewing has partnered with Stein Distributing in Boise, Watkins Distributing in Idaho Falls, King Beverage in Lewiston and Centennial Distributing in Coeur d’Alene. The initial launch will include 90 Shilling, IPA, Cutthroat Porter, Myrcenary Double IPA, as well as the brewery’s Seasonal brands.

“We are very excited to enter the Idaho market,” said Eric Smith, Director of Sales and Marketing for Odell Brewing. “There is an up-and-coming craft beer culture in the state, and we look forward to contributing to that enthusiasm with our unique offerings.”

Odell Brewing co-workers, including founder Doug Odell, will travel to Idaho beginning April 4th to celebrate the launch with a weeklong series of fun events throughout the state. A list of these events can be found on the brewery’s website at www.odellbrewing.com/idaho

New Belgium Brewing, maker of Fat Tire Amber Ale, announced plans today to expand their market territory along the eastern seaboard. The Colorado brewer will open Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C. in September of 2011. The added territory will bring the nation’s third-largest craft brewer to 29 states.

“We had significant expansion in 2009 when we added five states,” said New Belgium Sales Director, Joe Menetre. “We wanted to make sure we had the capacity to keep up with that demand, so we expanded our fermentation cellar to address future growth as well. We’re looking forward to selling our beers in and around the nation’s capitol.”

No decisions have been made regarding distributor partners, brands or package for the new markets.

Dear Dan,

My first priority is to stand up for the people of Colorado. That’s why I’ve set up eight regional offices across the state with a ninth office opening at the end of January in Alamosa. My offices are located in as many Colorado communities as possible, and my staff periodically holds office hours across the state to better serve you.

Since the nearest regional office to you is in Greeley, my Regional Director, Pam Shaddock is holding office hours in Fort Collins. She will be available on January 18, 3:30pm – 5:00pm to answer questions and lend a hand with federal agencies.

Where: City of Fort Collins Office Building 215 N. Mason Street

Free parking is available in the parking lot on the north side of the building Enter via the main doors on the east side of the building. Room 1B is on the main level.

If you’re unable to attend, I encourage you to contact your closest regional office at (970) 356-5586 to receive information or help in dealing with the federal government.

My regional office staff can work on your behalf and guide you through the process of receiving help and answers from federal agencies. For example, we assist people with securing Social Security benefits, answering Medicare questions, checking status on immigration cases, expediting emergency passports, facilitating IRS issues and helping with other federal matters.

Putting Coloradans first is my most important mission, and I welcome you to drop by at any time. I look forward to hearing from you.
