Origin Story

Once upon a time in the cozy neighborhood of Lafayette, Colorado, two passionate souls, Ryan and Kristen Scott, embarked on an adventure that would forever change the landscape of craft brewing. It was the year 2013 when they decided to channel their love for comics into something truly extraordinary. Their vision was to create a brewery that would not only craft exceptional beers but also weave captivating stories and introduce unforgettable characters to the world.

In a world where breweries were popping up like mushrooms, Ryan and Kristen knew they had to be different. They believed in the power of storytelling and wanted their brewery to stand out like a beacon in the night. Thus, "The Odd 13" was born.

Nestled near old town Lafayette, in a charming and sleepy neighborhood, Odd 13 Brewery became a haven for beer enthusiasts and comic book lovers alike. What set them apart was their audacious spirit and a determination to brew New England IPAs when few dared to tread that hazy path.

Odd 13 quickly gained a reputation as one of Colorado's first "hype" breweries, breaking the mold with each new brew. Every beer that flowed from their taps carried not just a name but a character and a story that unfolded with every sip. It was as if the world of comics had come to life in every glass.

Their journey was not without its share of challenges. As the craft beer industry began to shift, and many breweries started producing similar styles of beer, Odd 13 faced uncertainty. But they refused to give in to the pressure, holding fast to their vision of creating unique, character-driven beers.

Then, in a moment that would go down in beer history, Odd 13 released "Codename: Superfan." It was a New England-style IPA that defied convention, proving that hazy beer could be both complex and delicious. In a world that believed clarity was king, Odd 13 showed that sometimes it's the mysterious and hazy things that shine the brightest.

Through all these trials and triumphs, the brewery had its own superheroes. Ky and Woody Boese, with their unwavering dedication, played instrumental roles in keeping the brewery running smoothly. They were the guardians of Odd 13, ensuring that every story and every beer came to life with perfection.

The brewery boasted an impressive lineup of character-inspired brews, including "Codename: Superfan IPA," "NooB Pale Ale," "Oddle West Coast Style IPA," "Enzo Pilsner," and "Eric The Red," each with its own unique tale to tell.

But Odd 13 wasn't just about brewing exceptional beer; it was also a pillar of the Lafayette community for over a decade. They gave back generously to countless causes and charities, becoming an essential cornerstone of the neighborhood they called home.

And so, the legend of "The Odd 13" brewery continued to unfold, a testament to the power of passion, storytelling, and the unyielding spirit to be different in a world filled with conformity. In the heart of Lafayette, where beer and comics collided, "The Odd 13" remained a beacon of creativity, community, and the pursuit of extraordinary flavors.
