Superhero Collaboration Beer with Odyssey Beerwerks, Odd13 Brewing, and Cannonball Creek to be released on Free Comic Book Day 5/4/19
Odyssey Beerwerks, Odd13 Brewing, and Cannonball Creek Brewing have teamed up and brewed a pale ale called 3 Superheroes Walk Into A Brewery.
ARVADA, COLORADO – To celebrate their shared love of comic books, Odyssey Beerwerks, Odd13 Brewing, and Cannonball Creek Brewing have teamed up and brewed a pale ale, 3 Superheroes Walk Into A Brewery.
“Two of my greatest passions in life are beer and comic books,” says Chris Hill of Odyssey Beerwerks. “Getting to combine the two, in collaboration with friends at two other well respected breweries who share the same passions is something we’ve talked about doing for a long time. This beer is awesome!”
Comic book fans and beer fans alike can get their hands on draft pints and limited released 12 oz. cans of this collaboration at all three breweries during Free Comic Book day on Saturday, May 4.
“This beer is loaded with Amarillo, Galaxy, and Sabro hops, giving it supercharged floral, tropical, and citrus characteristics,” says Ryan Scott of Odd13 Brewing. “It’s a pale ale with extra special hop powers.”
A limited number of t-shirts commemorating the beer release will be available for purchase at all three breweries on May 4 as well as free comic books supplied by Mile High Comics.
“Beer and comic books have a symbiotic relationship,” says Jason Stengl of Cannonball Creek Brewing. “Both are forms of art and expression, and both have a little something for everyone.” In his pre-brewing life, Stengl worked for Mile High Comics. Collecting comics is still one of his passions.
Odyssey, Odd13, and Cannonball might not save the world with beer and free comic books, but they’re sure going to try.

Spice Trade Brewing Company Refreshes Flagship IPA, Sun Temple
Introducing a redesigned label and perfected recipe for Sun Temple IPA.
ARVADA, CO— Spice Trade is celebrating the progress of the New Year and their flagship IPA with a redesigned label and perfected recipe for their Sun Temple IPA. The newly refreshed Sun Temple IPA is now available in the market across Spice Trade’s distribution footprint.
Sun Temple was originally developed by Spice Trade’s head brewer, Jeff Tyler, for years as a homebrew recipe in Boston during the initial “haze craze” before the trend made its way across the country and into mainstream brewing. Sun Temple was designed to be an explosion of hop flavor, using El Dorado, Citra, and Simcoe hops to deliver notes of peach, mango, and candy without the full-bodied thickness possessed by some of the style’s peers.
The new Sun Temple cans pop off the shelf in a vibrant array of orange and red to match the intensely vibrant flavors you’re sure to find inside each 12 oz. can.
“We're excited to launch this finely tuned recipe with a new can design,” says Tyler. “There are a lot of technical challenges with packaging such a hop forward beer. Since the first day of canning we have been subtly tweaking the Sun Temple recipe and brewing procedure to make this beer taste just like the draft version. Late last year we fine tuned the recipe and brewing procedures to perfectly highlight this beer’s huge hop flavor while maintaining a stable haze and body.”

Firefighters from Arvada and all over Colorado will be in attendance with Old Dodge pint glasses and t-shirts available for purchase.

Spice Trade Brewing Debuts Cans of Chai Milk Stout and Sun Temple IPA, Announces Production Facility and New Brewpub in Planning
Brand new cans of Spice Trade Brewing’s Chai Milk Stout and Sun Temple IPA are now available at liquor stores and bars across Denver’s metro area.
ARVADA, CO — Brand new cans of Spice Trade Brewing’s Chai Milk Stout and Sun Temple IPA are now available at liquor stores and bars across Denver’s metro area. With their debut comes the announcement of the brewery’s production facility and new brewpub in planning, slated for completion in 2018.
Chai Milk Stout epitomizes Spice Trade’s culinary and cultural style of brewing. This beer, awarded a silver medal at the 2013 Great American Beer Festival® in the Herb and Spice Beer category, is brewed with a secret family recipe blend of chai spices made in-house at Yak & Yeti Restaurants. The result is a chocolate and roast-forward stout that’s bursting with fresh chai tea aroma and flavor.
The Sun Temple IPA is the newest addition to Spice Trade’s core beer lineup. It’s a classic example of a juicy, hazy New England-style IPA fermented with a yeast strain that has evolved in Northern Vermont breweries. This IPA explodes with mango, peach, and citrus flavors but still finishes smooth and dry.
Spice Trade Brewing has acquired a 15 barrel brewhouse for the brewery’s new production facility (location TBD) that will set up shop in a separate location from the Yak & Yeti restaurant in Arvada. Plans also include a communal tasting room and beer garden, and a full kitchen to serve eclectic street food from around the world. Spice Trade’s beers will continue to fill the taps at all three of Yak & Yeti’s restaurant locations.
