Beer and Cheer: Ten FIDDY Imperial Stout
Ten FIDY Imperial Stout Oskar Blues Lyons Ten FIDY is a big, bad mutha. Almost completely black, it looks like motor oil when poured out of one of Oskar Blues's unusual black-and-silver cans. But it tastes fantastic - rich, complex and brimming with roasty, toasty chocolate, nut and coffee flavors. The price tag, around $12 for a four-pack, made it a tough sell, but it was worth every penny on a night when the snow began to really fly in the Mile High City. Brewed only in the last two months of

Oskar Blues will open its new tasting room, the Tasty Weasel, at 11 a.m. this Friday, February 13, inside its brewing and canning plant in Longmont.

The Wynkoop's canny new strategy
The Wynkoop Brewing Co. was the first modern-era brewpub to open its doors in Denver, and this summer, it plans to become the first city brewery to sell its beer in cans. "We're pushing for June," says new Wynkoop head brewer Andy Brown, who got the project off the ground by persuading the owners of the Wynkoop's holding company that they needed to diversify. "The way I talked them into it was because I used to work for Oskar Blues, and I took them up there and showed them how much success they

Eat Your Beer With Old Chub Bread
Maybe you know Old Chub because you've had it on tap at Oskar Blues or bought a six-pack of this canned Scottish Ale at the liquor store. Or maybe you've heard the name because you took a momentary leave of your senses and purchased a tube of Old Chub chapstick, perhaps the only beer-flavored lip balm in the nation. Now the Lyons/Longmont-based brewery is giving Coloradans two other ways to enjoy Old Chub: in bread baked specifically for Whole Foods and in hot sauces.

Colorado beer drinkers have a crush on cans
It's American Craft Beer Week - seven days that even the United States Congress felt should be set aside for one purpose and one purpose only: drinking micro brews. (To find out about tappings, food pairings and other events, click here or here.) But Colorado's beer culture is worth a deeper look since 100 craft breweries operated here in 2008, producing 75,000 barrels of delicious beer. Of particular note is the continued growth of canned micro brews, a trend that started in 2002 at Oscar Blu

This weekend: Raise a pint to the Greater Boulder Beer Festival
It's not quite on the same tap as the Great American Beer Festival, which flows down on Denver on September 24 at the Colorado Convention Center, but the toddler-aged Greater Boulder Beer Festival, which turns two this year, isn't exactly a slacker when it comes to suds. Sure, it's small in stature, and true, you can't sample eight billion beers, but when the festival comes down this Sunday, August 2, at the Millennium Harvest House hotel in Boulder (1345 28th Street), several of Bould

Craft breweries are on a roll
With the Great American Beer Festival (September 24-26) and the first ever Denver Beer Fest (September 18-27) both around the corner, the craft beer industry's major trade group has released some mid-year statistics on what's been brewing nationwide. The Brewers Association reports that craft brewers sold 4.2 million barrels of brewski during the first six months of 2009, up from 4 million barrels during the same time period last year. Sales numbers grew by 9 percent over the first half

Oskar Blues Liquids & Solids has yet to solidify
Jason Rogers has a "Midnight Toker."Oskar Blues's benefit golf tourney today at Twin Peaks is a big hit, with all 144 slots sold out. But when the golf is over, the participants won't be able to retire to the new Oskar Blues Homemade Liquids & Solids in Longmont, as originally planned. That's because the still-in-the-works restaurant has run into a permitting delay. So instead, they'll be partying at the clubhouse. But while Liquids & Solids has yet to solidify, Jason Rogers, the chef wh
