For the past 11 years, Odd Otter Brewing Company has been a staple of Tacoma’s craft beer scene, known not just for great beer but for bold ideas, creative experimentation, and deep roots in the local community.
Located at 716 Pacific Avenue in Tacoma, Odd Otter has built a reputation for pushing boundaries while staying grounded in the relationships that make small businesses thrive. At Lightcurve, we’re proud to support Odd Otter with internet, phone, and cable services, and through collaborative efforts that bring local businesses together.
A Business Built on Trust and Creativity
Taking over an established brewery isn’t easy, but for Nathan Wescott, owner of Odd Otter Brewing Company, community trust made all the difference.
“My favorite thing about our community is the trust they had in us taking over an established business and trusting our brewer to always come through with a great product, no matter how wild the idea.”
That trust has allowed Odd Otter to do what it does best: experiment, collaborate, and surprise customers with creative brews that keep people coming back.
A True Tacoma Original
Odd Otter Brewing Company reflects the spirit of Tacoma: independent, creative, and community-driven. From beer collaborations that connect local businesses to hosting gatherings that bring people together, Odd Otter has become a place where ideas and relationships grow.
Nathan also shared some of his favorite local spots that make Tacoma feel like home:
“My favorite place to eat is Asado or Bar Bistro. Point Ruston is awesome for catching a movie. Going to the Puyallup Fair for our yearly Earthquake Burger and Dairy Barn visit is a favorite.”
These local traditions and favorite hangouts highlight the strong sense of place that fuels Tacoma’s small business community.
Why Reliable Connectivity Matters for Breweries
Running a brewery today means balancing production, customer experience, and business operations, all of which rely on dependable connectivity. From point-of-sale systems and communications to entertainment and coordination with partners, internet and phone services play a critical role.
Nathan notes that choosing Lightcurve has been a practical decision for the business:
“Lightcurve is much more cost effective than Comcast. The savings are substantial.”
For many small businesses, affordability and local support matter just as much as performance. Having a provider that understands local needs can make a real difference.
Collaboration That Brings Businesses Together
Beyond connectivity, Lightcurve and Odd Otter share a common goal: bringing local businesses together. Through beer collaborations and community-driven initiatives, Odd Otter helps foster relationships that strengthen Tacoma’s small business ecosystem.
These collaborations reflect what makes small businesses special: working together, supporting one another, and growing as a community rather than competing in isolation.
Proud to Support Tacoma’s Small Businesses
Odd Otter Brewing Company’s 11-year journey is a testament to what’s possible when creativity meets community trust. At Lightcurve, we’re honored to support businesses like Odd Otter with the tools and connections they need to keep doing what they do best.
Because when small businesses collaborate, communities thrive… and Tacoma’s brewing scene is stronger for it.
