Oskar Blues Brewing (Lyons, CO) to change the name of their popular Gordon Ale. Gordon Biersch Brewing recently filed a lawsuit regarding the name, stating the use of “Gordon” violates copyright.
Quoting from Denver Westword Blogs:
“Oskar Blues will change the name of one of its four year-round beers after the Tennessee-based Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant Group threatened to sue the Colorado company for trademark infringement, says Oskar Blues spokesman Chad Melis.
Gordon, the Oskar Blues beer, is named for Gordon Knight, a fire-fighting helicopter pilot and brewer who helped create the Twisted Pine, Wolf Tongue and Estes Park breweries in the early 1990s. Knight was killed in 2002 when the helicopter he was using to drop water on a fire near Lyons crashed.
The beer will be renamed G’Knight, and Oskar Blues will hold a party on February 19 at itsTasty Weasel tap house in Longmont, to celebrate the beer and its namesake. Knight’s birthday was February 20; he would have been 61.
The 2010 batch of Oskar Blues Brewing’s famed Ten-Fidy is now shipping. Named one of the top 25 beers in America.
OB describes on their blog: Ten FIDY Imperial Stout — This titanic, immensely viscous stout is loaded with inimitaffble flavors of chocolate-covered caramel and coffee and hide a hefty 98 IBUs underneath the smooth blanket of malt. Ten FIDY (10.5% ABV) is made with enormous amounts of two-row malt, chocolate malt, roasted barley, flaked oats and hops. Ten FIDY is the ultimate celebration of dark malts and boundary-stretching beer.
Oskar Blues Brewing from Lyons, Colorado is a craft brewer with a discerning trait. All their brews come in cans. Hopefully you’ve seen them. Old Chub, Ten Fidy, Dale’s Pale Ale. All delicious craft brews, and all legal for consumption at the pool in the summer (no glass, lol.) It’s been a while, but a new can joins OB’s lineup – Gubna.
Gubna is an Imperial IPA. Don’t let the fact it comes in a can fool you into thinking it’s a weakling. This imperial is a complex, fruity, slightly bitter 10% ABV. Oskar Blues wanted to prove that a complex character can arise from simple elements. Gubna is made with 3 malts, and 1 hop. It is also post fermentation dry hopped.
Ingredients –
Hop – Summit (Dry Hopped w/ Summit also)

10% ABV
