I think they do can some that they only have at their Tasty Weasel taproom, at least I hadn't seem them at any other store in CO. Though if it ends up popular, they send it everywhere eventually, ala Death By Coconut. But ones like Shipwrecker Circus look like it was available @ The Tasty Weasel and the UK (Brewdog). Best bet is to pay attention to the Tasty Weasel Facebook page, they do a fair job of posting new beers they offer, though they won't necessarily say it's exclusive.
And they fill Crowlers there, so if there's a specialty on tap, someone can Crowler one up and send it out to you
I'd imagine that oSKAr the G'Rauch is probably Colorado only since it was a collaboration with Ska. That's a Tasty Weasel beer, but it's available in cans. I don't think it's sold outside the TW, though.
That's where they brew everything in CO, but they put a lot of their experimental beers on tap there.
Couldn't remember offhand if they did or not. I just remember going there once and they had nothing but the basic OB stuff. Respectable BBQ though
Yeah they don't have much on tap, but they do brew some test batches and smaller batch experimental stuff on their original system there. I was there a few weeks ago helping with a project. It's in that crazy old barn behind the brewpub, must be one of the older continuously used brewing systems in CO
Oskar Blues has only been around since '97, they started brewing in converted dairy tanks in 99, and the current brewing equpiment didn't get installed until 2001-2002. They certainly aren't new to the game, but I wouldn't call them "older."
Thanks, I definitely thought they were older than that, glad to be properly informed. With that said, I'm pretty sure some of the older breweries in CO have upgraded their brewhouse many times so I'm not sure how many systems are still being used from 97' Either way, the building that houses the original brew system is old as fuck. Probably shouldn't be going off that lol
This actually brings up an interesting discussion (for another thread) - which breweries have managed to stay open the longest. Other than the obvious ones like Boulder and Left Hand I'd love to know which breweries survived the original "microbrew washout" of the 90's vs. the 2nd wave of the early 2000's.
Aren't the stovepipes state-only? CO/NC? Pretty sure BA Ten Fidy fit that bill, and I can only assume the current Chubna is the same. I am not certain.
From what I heard the BA Ten Fidy was only made in CO the last time around. I completely missed them locally, but was visiting my dad in Asheville and we made the journey to Brevard to check out their NC digs. While enjoying one on draft, I noticed a young lady bring some big boy cans out of the back, and sure enough, I got me some BATF. Great timing for this guy! So- to answer your question- the word on the street is they were state-only... Not sure about the Chubna though.
