    Happy St. Patricks Day! March 2008

    Greetings!

    Jack's Folk Art at Oskar BluesLook around our place and you know we dig great folk art. We've been longtime fans of of a mysterious folk artist, Jack, who we recently discovered has settled here in our own backyard of Estes Park. We've now turned over our dining to Jack, giving him a "showing" of his wonderful portraits of blues and roots music legends. Jack paints his wonderfully charming, rustic portraits with house paint, on scrap wood he finds in his day gig as carpenter/builder. We also love it that Jack's art is very affordable: his portraits sell for just $300. Stop by and see -- and buy -- Jack's work this month and help us help a local and very worthy artist. Get details on Jack at http://jackfolkart.com .

    Brothers BBQ Welcomes Dale's and Old Chub Starting this month, all seven locations of the mighty Brothers BBQ will begin serving Dale's Pale Ale and Old Chub Scottish Style Ale. This is big deal for us, we've been fans of Chris and Nick O'Sullivans' exceptional ribs, barbecued chickens and other smoke-blessed treats for years. These cats bring a southern-style influence to BBQ you seldom see here in Colorado, and our assertive-but-elegant beers are a perfect match for their fare. And like us, they're scrappy entrepreneurs who thrive on bringing joy and great taste to the folks of Colorado. Please stop in at your local Brothers BBQ outpost and order up some top-shelf Q and our beers. Details at http://www.brothers-bbq.com .

    Ten FIDY AlertOur bodacious new Imperial Stout keeps on racking up huge accolades. We've just canned up a new batch, look for it select stores in Colorado and our other states.
