A fresh batch of Gordon four packs are now hitting Colorado shelves.

Our bodacious, divinely dark and malty Ten FIDY Imperial Stout is dropping jaws at our pub. Stop in and try a glass of our mighty winter seasonal while it lasts! It's a massive, (10.5% abv), roasty, mouth- massaging, ultra stout made with a small mountain of malts and a big wallop of oatmeal. Perfect for cool weather sipping.

Mama's Little Yella Pils is the newest addition to our brewhouse. Just tapped on 12/23/06, this Czech-style Pilsner (the first lager produced with our 20 bbl brewhouse) is the pale ale of lagers. Made primarily with German Pilsner malt (plus a thouch of Carafoam and Caramalt) this Pils is a clear golden color. Four additions of Saaz hops from the Czech Republic lend a spicy-floral hop component which plays nicely with the grainy malt character to create a clean, crisp beer of exceptional drinkability.
This is a draft-only offering and currently available only at Oskar blues. This is Mama's secret to get through the day!

This month we welcome Comedy Hypnotist Rusty Z. After a successful 14 year career as a stand-up comedian (appearing on such television shows as A&E's Evening at the Improv and The Dennis Miller Show, James R. Zingleman decided to switch gears (and persona) and do a stage hypnosis act. He studied both stage hypnosis and hypnotherapy with some of the best instructors in the field. James is a certified member of the National Guild of Hypnotists. Under the alias Rusty Z, James has been putting volunteers to sleep and bringing out their hidden talents on stages across the United States. Rusty Z's mastery of rapid hypnotic inductions and his comedic background, not to mention his groovy- hipster stage persona, make his hypnosis parties a cut above the usual stage hypnosis show. Rusty Z's Hilarious Hypnotic Happenings are always in good taste and nobody is embarrassed, except maybe the skeptics who didn't believe in hypnotism before the show started!

Tickets on sale now $10- includes a wine, well or draft beer.
