 Greetings!
More Big Ink
The June issue of the incomparable Gourmet magazine includes a wonderful piece by Drinks editor James Rodewald on the joys and rise of microcanned beer. Oskar Blues and our mighty hand-canned beers are featured in the story. Rodewald deems Dale's Pale Ale one of his "favorite pop top options." Lovely! See it on page 76 of the magazine.
The June issue of the revered Sunset Magazine has a full-page piece on our beloved Lyons, Colorado. The piece touts Oksar Blues, as well as Cilantro mary's, The Stone Cup, and our town's other shopping recreational and natural wonders. Find it on page 42.
The esteemed Washington Post has just run a glorious feature on Oskar Blues, our beers, and the microcanning niche we've pioneered. Read all about it here:
