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.
