Longmont, CO, Brevard, NC, & Comstock Park, MI (December 30, 2014)–CORNLABORATION, a new collaboration lager born from the creative brewing mind-meld of Oskar Blues Brewery of Colorado and North Carolina and Perrin Brewing Company of Comstock Park, Michigan, has been released in Michigan. This heady combination of corn, Full Pint malt, German hops and Denmark lager yeast compels cornstalks to high-five in the field (5.8% ABV, 45 IBUs).
The fresh fruit and citrus aroma of this quaffable lager culminates in a fresh bready flavor followed by a light-bodied corn finish. Rumor has it that CORNLABORATION may be brewed again at Oskar Blues’ Longmont brewery this winter for wider distribution. In the meantime, only Michigaons get to sip on the corny brew.
The first batch of CORNLABORATION was brewed at Perrin with a team of brewers from both Oskar Blues and Perrin. The beer is now available on draft at Perrin Brewing Company, just 10 miles north of Grand Rapids. It also will be distributed throughout the state of Michigan until every drop has been enjoyed. Look for CORNLABORATION on tap at your favorite MI watering hole or restaurant.
Pinner Release:
Longmont, CO — December 31st , 2014 — The Oskar Blues Brewery will be holding an event at the Tasty Weasel Taproom on January 10th, 2015, to celebrate the release of their newest beer, PINNER, Throwback IPA. The event will be handled in true OB Style, with hot-air balloon rides, allowing attendees to “get lifted” in the brewery parking lot.
The PINNER Throwback IPA will be available in the famous 12 ounce Oskar Blues Cans and on draft. Coming in at 4.9 percent ABV and 35 IBUs, this primo dry-hopped brew will be easy to throw back. To put it bluntly, PINNER will be the lowest year-round ABV beer to blaze out of Oskar Blues’ brewhouses.
The release party will spark up at 1:00pm. Free brewery tours will begin at 2:00pm, where attendees will be given the opportunity to get loaded up on the History of OB. The Oskar Blues Brewery Tour was just named one of the Top 10 Brewery Tours in the United States by USA Today.
Live music from local Colorado band, The Delta Sonics, will begin at 3:00pm. The Delta Sonics were chosen as the “Best Blues Band in Denver” by Westword Magazine in 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014.
Dank prizes will be given out during the event including a pair of skis from Icelantic, Oskar Blues restaurant gift cards, Winter on the Rocks and Zach Deputy Tickets. Additional prizes will be given away to the winners of the Pinner Skee Ball Tournament, which will begin at 6:00pm.
Boulder locals too burnt out to make the drive can hitch a ride on The Oskar Blues Trolley. The trolley will be picking locals up from at The Dark Horse at 2:30pm and heading back to Boulder at 7:00pm. The Dark Horse will be offering Pinner specials from 11:00am-2:00pm on January 10th as well. Party attendees are asked to park their car in the back lot of this historic watering hole.
Don’t be a buzzkill, grab a bud and make your way over to The Tasty Weasel Taproom. The Pinner Release Party is about to blow your mind! The Tasty Weasel Taproom is located at 1800 Pike Road in Longmont, Colorado.
