Rocky Mountain Bakehouse and Colorado's Oskar Blues Brewery have created a tag-team masterpiece that blends the planet's most revered fermented foods: Beer & Bread. Each loaf of Old Chub Beer Bread contains nearly a whole can of the world’s best Scottish ale, Oskar Blues' Old Chub. We could have stopped there, but no! This dual-artisan gem also sports a wheaty sourdough base, a touch of honey and a heaping handful of organic sunflower seeds. Before it hits the oven, each loaf is lovingly rolled in Old Chubs’ Beech wood-smoked malted barley and then baked to wonderful, golden perfection. These handmade implausible pieces of baked goodness are available at all Wholefoods stores in Colorado, New Mexico & Kansas. 

Take home a loaf and Chub the one you're with!
