Odell Brewing Co. Chief Operations Officer Brendan McGivney Talks Good Behavior

Odell Brewing Co. Chief Operations Officer Brendan McGivney Talks Good Behavior

We spoke with Odell Brewing Co. Chief Operations Officer Brendan McGivney about Good Behavior.

BC: Who came up with this beer’s recipe?
All recipe development at Odell Brewing is a group effort from our R&D team. We are a proudly independent, employee-owned brewery and we truly believe we achieve the best results through collaboration.

BC: What’s your favorite aspect of this beer (flavor, aroma, etc.)?
I am absolutely in love with HBC 586, the featured hop in Good Behavior. The overall hop aroma intensity is high while the flavor comes across as a sweet fruit cocktail, which helps provide some balance to a light dry malt profile.

BC: Can you describe this beer in 10 words or less?
IPA if looking for a lower ABV or lower calories.

BC: Where does this beer’s name come from?
Good Behavior's name comes from the idea that, with balance, you can have it all. Most low-calorie IPAs either have no body at all to support the hops, or use adjuncts to artificially create a sweetness in place of the malts to create that balance. Good Behavior has it all – bright hop flavors and a malt body big enough to balance all hops. All of this in a 110-calorie package.
