About
Odyssey is a small family run brewery established in the rural surrounds of a National Trust estate in Herefordshire in 2014. We brew in a building that is at least 400 years old but our beers are modern and forward looking.

Because we are small, independent and committed to staying that way, we focus primarily on only two styles of beer - hop forward (of any colour) and big, indulgent stouts, with the occasional Barley Wine thrown in for good measure. Our hoppy beers are unfined and hazy but we seek to retain some bitterness and drinkability - East Coast brews with a West Coast vibe.

All of our beer is produced for keg or can.

Keg draught at Beer in Hand, Hereford. Pale yellow and hazy with a full white head. Grapefruit aroma, some sweaty stone fruit, some soap. Taste is quite bitter for the style with big waves of apricot and a very dry finish. Medium carbonation. Slightly watery as befitting the ABV. Altogether very good.
