Oden Brewing – Greensboro, NC

Every now and then, you find the perfect brewery. Everyone always asks “what’s your favorite?” and after over 400, it’s sometimes hard to remember. But this one might break the Top 10 and be one of those memorable breweries we tell people about. So what makes a great and memorable brewery? There is no single criteria. It’s about the moment. It’s about stumbling into something you didn’t expect but discovering you needed. Take this place for example: old commerical building, vintage decor, old wood bar & furniture, live music, outside seating and good beer. This place even smells like history, fresh beer and a hint of good food which is coming from the food truck parked outside. Setting outside in an Adirondack chair, sipping a Deliberate Disrespect blonde ale & a Olaf’s Revenge amber ale and listening to the live music in what looks like the back yard of three close neighbors. You might even think this is a block party with people talking, laughing and enjoying the great outdoors.
