Oskar Blues Brewery isn’t letting the current pandemic situation slow things down. The Colorado- based brewing operation has a pair of ongoing beer series releases and just recently, Oskar Blues announced the next releases in each: Can-O-Bliss Hazy IPA, part of a series started in past years, and Slow Chill Munich Style Helles, which is part of a brand new series.
Can-O-Bliss Hazy IPA continues this immensely popular IPA series. It’s a juicy IPA brewed using five hop varieties: Eureka, Strata, Cashmere, Enigma, and Hallertau Blanc. This 7.2 percent ABV brew is a fruity cornucopia featuring flavors such as grapefruit, orange, pineapple, peach, and melon. Juice Drapeau, Oskar Blues Head Brewer, says this beer was brewed for lovers of hazy IPA and they won’t be disappointed with the result.
“Can-O-Bliss Hazy explodes with hop aroma as soon as you crack a can and it hits a glass,” said Drapeau. “A massive amount of haze leaves you dazed and confused, while huge hop flavors light you up like a midsummer fireworks display.”
Slow Chill Munich-Style Helles is the first release in a brand new series known as the Slow Chill Lager series. This is great news for fans of lager beers since, as we all know, craft breweries lean heavily on ales. With an emphasis on bread/grain, Slow Chill Munich-Style Helles is brewed using pilsner and Vienna malts with Noble hops for a traditional taste experience. Modest and enjoyable, this lager weighs in at 5 percent ABV and is versatile enough to pair with food or enjoy all by itself, for easygoing refreshment.
Can-O-Bliss Hazy IPA is available right now on draft and in 6-packs and 12-packs of 12 oz. cans. It’s also part of the Oskar Blues CANundrum Mixed 15-Pack. Slow Chill Munich-Style Helles will be distributed nationally on May 15, 2020 and will be packaged in 6-packs of 12 oz. cans.
It’s great that Oskar Blues Brewery is still churning out the new beers and new releases and we at Great Beer Now can’t wait to get our hands on each of these delicious beers. Look for Can-O-Bliss Hazy IPA and Slow Chill Munich Style Helles at your favorite beverage store and stay tuned for additional Slow Chill Lager and Can-O-Bliss IPA releases later this year.
