GUBNA hits cans following the news of Colorado GUBNA, Bill Ritter, Jr’s nasty spill from his bicycle broke a number of his ribs and separated his shoulder. I think we have 12oz of just what the doctor ordered. Cheers to Beth Hendrix who won the first 4-pack & a behind-the-scenes view of GUBNA to hit cans. Come & join us this evening at The Tasty Weasel for the FULL RELEASE party & grab chances at GUBNA swag & brew as shipments of GUBNA head out coast to coast.

GUBNA FULL RELEASE PARTY – March 4th, Tasty Weasel Taproom

chadmelis — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 21:27:04 +0000

Living up to its slogan of DISESTABLISHMENTARIAN, the GUBNA draft line has run dry at Home Made Liquids and Solids and at the Tasty Weasel Taproom. The good news is that you won’t have to wait long to enjoy our newest seasonal – a 10% ABV, 100 IBUs Hop Grenade that is ready to be canned next week!

To celebrate the canning of the first batch of GUBNA, please join us at the GUBNA FULL RELEASE party at the Tasty Weasel Taproom on Thursday, March 4^th beginning at 3pm.

Since we left you hangin’ on GUBNA draft for a week, we’re gonna shake the establishment up a bit and have some fun with a few GUBNA first-release contests. The winner of the first contest will be invited to experience a behind-the-scenes viewing of the first-ever canning of GUBNA Imperial IPA at 2pm on Thursday, March 4^th!

Give the GUBNA a Harrumph. Harrumph.

To enter this contest, submit a short paragraph or two (400 words or less) giving us your best, most creative description of the word “Disestablishmentarian”. Send your entry to info@oskarblues.com. We’ll choose our favorite description and that winner will receive not only an invitation to be among the first to celebrate this exciting event at the first canning but we’ll also give away the first canned 4-pack as well as a t-shirt and other goodies.

To be considered, entries must be received by midnight on Sunday, February 28, 2010 – that’s this coming Sunday! We’ll post them all on our website and choose the winner by 5pm on Monday, March 1^st.

Does your CANscience bother you? Tell the truth!

The Tasty Weasel opens at 3pm on Thursday – be the first person to bring your guitar to the Weasel and sing and play the song that contains the lyrics – “Does your conscience bother you? Tell the Truth!” will receive a 4-pack of GUBNA and a 10-oz glass to take home.

Top 4 of 4!

The first 4 people to buy a 4-pack of GUBNA Imperial IPA will receive a free GUBNA t-shirt!

Remember The Tasty Weasel opens at 3:00pm on Thursday!

Order your GUBNA Imperial IPA with a HARRUMPH and get a free GUBNA sticker!

Harrumph!
