    Odell Brewing is a local brewery in Fort Collins. Doug Odell, his wife, and his sister joined forces and opened up the Odell Brewery in 1989. 

    Odell Brewing are now the 34th largest craft brewery in the country distributing beer to just 14 states.. While the brewery crafts a variety of beers, its roots are built on British styles. Innovation and creativity meet balance, consistency and quality in each brew.

    The brewery’s managed growth strategy has created and fostered a culture of family and collaboration. In 2015, the Odell family founders sold the majority of the company to its co-workers (now co-owners) in a combined management buyout and ESOP.

    This image is the side of one of their beer trucks. It has the colors and patterns that called to this photographer.

    The Girls at Sebago

    The Girls

    I enjoy eating out and I’ve done a lot of it since taking this job as a flight attendant, as my increased girth shows it. This image was taken while in Portland, ME at a restaurant called Sabago. Sebago is a brewery and restaurant with 4 locations and have a fifth one coming soon. I went to the one in Scarborough near the Maine Mall where these beautiful young ladies met me at the door with their wonderful smiles. With my camera always around me neck they asked if I was a photographer, I answered yes and of course needed to prove it.  They moved in close together while I shot this at 1/13th second at ISO 3200, handheld.

    And, what was the restaurant experience like? Well, my waiters name was Ben, did a great job and earned a substantial tip from this poor man. The food was awesome. I splurged and ordered the evening special:  shrimp and scallops in a creamy red/white sauce with mashed potatoes and glazed carrots.  I also added a cup of clam chowder. Almost licked the sauce off the plate but kept my cool and didn’t embarrass myself.  Needless to say I had no room for dessert. But, I can go back for that.
