Fun Facts About Oskar Blues Longmont

Before we get into which Oskar Blues beer you can enjoy at Oakwell Beer Spa, let’s take a look at some fun facts about this cool local brewery.

Oskar Blues is the first brewery to put craft beer in a can. That’s right! This year is their 20th “Caniversary.” In 2002, they disrupted the status quo and canned Dale’s Pale Ale. And, guess what? You can try this beer when you visit Oakwell Beer Spa.
A group of like-minded brewers, known as CANarchy, work to bring some of the nation’s highest-quality beer with innovative flavors to beer lovers worldwide.
Not only does the brewery have 3 locations: Colorada, North Carolina, and Texas, but they also provide their tasty beers to all 50 states and internationally to 17 other countries.
In 2012, they invented the crowler to create a new way for beer drinkers to take sealed beverages to-go that stay fresh longer. Today, you can find crowlers at breweries all over the country.
In 2019, 3 Oskar Blues beers were awarded at the 2019 Australian International Beer Awards.
The brewery partners with various non-profits like Can’d Aid to raise and donate money to build better communities.
Oskar Blues stands in solidarity with women and holds regular events, which feature women-brewed beer and women-owned business pop-up markets. Proceeds are donated to organizations that support women working in breweries.
