In the fall of 2007, Odell Brewing received its first shipment of virgin oak barrels

from Canton Cooperage in Kentucky. The barrels, cut from new American oak, were

specifically crafted with a medium toast to give beer added flavor and depth, and the

vertical tasting of four unique Woodcut offerings, including No. 2 Oak Aged Golden Ale

(released June 1, 2009), No. 3 Oak Aged Crimson Ale (released Nov. 16, 2009), No. 4 Oak

Aged Double Marzen Style Lager (released May 17, 2010), and No. 5 Oak Aged Belgian Style

Quad Ale (released June 3, 2011).
