(Fort Collins, CO) – Oskar Blues brewmaster, Dave Chichura, recently appeared on the Under My Host podcast.

He covered a lot of general ground on the brewery’s different beers but also offered up a couple interesting tidbits. Most noteworthy is the possibility that Oskar Blues will add a Alumi-Tek line. The comment came after a discussion on the company’s B. Stiff & Sons Root Beer though OB has released two beers in the format, Chaka and The Deuce. OB also still plans to do its own line of spirits in that package so a high-speed line would serve multiple purposes.

Chichura had no other updates on the spirits line.

Rumored collaborations like Three Floyds and Two Brothers haven’t come to fruition yet due to timing and schedules though Chichura mentioned another possible Chicagoland collab partner in Solemn Oath. It is clear that they want to work with a brewery in that area. Chichura also re-iterated a previous report that they have talked to a couple breweries in Alabama about doing brew together.

One collaboration has come together. Oskar Blues reported on Monday morning that it is brewing an imperial brown ale with Asheville Brewing down in Brevard. The Brevard facility is also packaging 19.2-ounce cans of Mama’ Little Yella Pils for the first time on Monday.
