About Us
Odyssey Beerwerks was founded in 2013 and named for a love of travel and new adventures, and just trekking through this odyssey that we call life. Odyssey is owned and operated by husband-and-wife team Chris and Deana Hill, with the help of an amazing team!
The result of 12 years of love and labor is a full-production brewery that packages six year-round beers and hundreds of seasonal beers of varying styles. Odyssey has won numerous medals and awards, ranging from Gold at the Colorado State Fair to Silver at the Great American Beer Festival to Gold at the World Beer Cup.
We're most proud of our Taproom, where everyone feels comfortable, and everyone is welcome. So many friendships have been made here, and even some engagements and marriages have happened here! You'll never be lonely at our place - there's always someone willing to share a pint with you!
Chris Hill
Chief Beer Peddler
Chris is the Chief Beer Peddler. That’s all anyone really knows about Chris’s role at Odyssey...
No really, if we had to list everything Chris does here, it would take all day. Let's just say, if there's anything to be done around the brewery, Chris can take care of it.
Andy Parker
Beer Baron
A 25-year beer industry veteran, Andy has brewed his way from NYC to Hawaii to Colorado, with a major stop at Avery Brewing to build their barrel program. When he's not nerding out over the perfect smoked helles or schooling unsuspecting opponents in basement-level ping-pong, he’s skiing every mountain in sight or doing something fun with his wife and two-year-old floppy Golden Retriever. When it’s his turn to play music in the brewhouse, you’re likely to hear everything from hip-hop to outlaw country to psychedelic rock.
Deana Hill
Maven of Miscellany
Deana is the co-owner and head cat-herder at Odyssey Beerwerks!
Nick Barrett
Liason of libations
As a self-proclaimed "huge nerd at heart," Nick has managed to amass a decade of experience brewing and packaging when he's not refining his cooking skills or playing with his extensive collection of Hot Wheels and Legos. If you stop by the brewery on a brewing or canning day, you're likely to hear him blasting some Social D through the speakers. When the work day is done, you can find Nick in the Taproom enjoying a Mexican Lager and sharing stories with the regulars.
Dan Ferriera
Sales dude
Dan the Man is our Sales Dude Extraordinaire and is the smiling-est guy we know! Part of the Odyssey family for ten years, Dan is originally from Long Beach, California, but we don't hold that against him. You're likely to see him out and about in the Odyssey van, making the rounds to liquor stores and bars across the Denver Metro. If you see him, be sure to honk at him a lot - he loves that!
Chad bratt
director of draft and marketing
Chad is a marketing, events, and hospitality guru who loves hoppy IPAs, crispy lagers, long walks on the beach, and the perfect green chile! With 17 years in the craft beer industry, Chad has traveled to over 350 craft breweries across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico—so yes, he takes “research” very seriously. When he’s not pouring pints or nerding out as a Certified Cicerone, you’ll find Chad outside hiking, biking, snowboarding, or fly fishing. Oh, he’s also an ordained Reverend, so he can legally marry you and pair your wedding cake with the perfect beer! Chad currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Colorado Brewers Guild.
