(Fort Collins, CO) – Odell Brewing will bring back Mountain Standard in a new way this fall.

The beer debuted last year as a Deep Mahogany Ale but will be changed up to a Black IPA this year.

Label copy: “As the Colorado hop growers prove they can produce world class hops, we as a Colorado craft brewer want to showcase what our state can offer, not only with the ingredients used in crafting them. Mountain Standard Double Black IPA showcases the homegrown hops our brewers helped pick from farms along Colorado’s western slope. MST pours committingly dark with a light brown head and a slightly roasted hoppy nose. An ephemeral bitterness, the result of combining roasted malts with an assertive American hop profile, contributes to MST’s act of balance and harmony within nature or your glass. As the season’s darkness sets in why shouldn’t your beer become darker as well?” 9.5% ABV and available as part of the Odell Single Serve Series.

The Odell team wrote about its hop voyage in late August, one that ended in the brewery selecting Cascade and Chinook hops for this brew.

A brewery representative said that the ideal release timing would be in early November to coincide with the end of Daylight Savings Time (which plays off of the “dark” theme) though nothing is official yet. Last year’s edition was also released around the clock change.
