Welcome to Odonata Beer Company
Odonata Beer Co. is a small craft brewery based in Sacramento, California. We started selling beer in 2009 and currently partner with existing regional brewers to make our beer. We have a sister winery of the same name, Odonata, that is based in Santa Cruz. We believe that the best way to do business is face to face, with people you know; therefore, we'll be selling our beer right here in our own back yard -- it's likely we'll bump into you at the grocery store or sit with you in traffic on the Business 80. Our beers are all made in small batches and use ingredients we're proud of. If you're a fan of good beer and supporting local businesses, we think you'll like what you see here. Cheers!
What Does Odonata Mean?
Our most popular question, by far! Odonata (OH-DOE-NAH-TA) is the order that encompasses all dragonflies & damselflies. We're big fans of these mythical insects and they tie in great with the Belgian theme we hope to cultivate in our beers. For instance, there are nearly 70 different species of odonata in Belgium, all visually stunning and evocative in their own way. We want our beers to be as delicate, as beautiful and imaginative as the odonata of the world.
Who is Odonata Beer Company?
Odonata Beer is a two-man operation, headed up by our brewmaster Peter Hoey and sales / PR guy Rick Sellers. The duo have known each other for years and traveled the country together in the name of better beer. If the names look familiar, there may be a reason . . . [about us]
Odonata in the Kitchen
“Mussels and Saison are a wonderful combination. When the two meet in a pot, filled with
ingredients, the magical creation tempts the eater to not just eat the delicious mussels, but slurp from the
bowl, drinking the intoxicating brew-spiked liquor.” -Sean Z. Paxton
