Oskar Blues Gubna Imperial IPA returns to the seasonal lineup for the sixth year. Cans won’t be easy to find this season.
The hoppiest beer in the brewery’s lineup gets a hop tweak with every release. The idea is to find and brew with the most sticky, dank hops Oskar Blues can find. The 2017 blend features Azacca, Sterling, and Crystal hops chosen from sensory panels at each of OB’s breweries.
“The traditional hops beat out some newer, experimental varietals this year, which surprised many of us here at OB, But the hops just spoke to the nearly 100 employees that participated in GUBNA hop selection and we must obey the rub.”Oskar Blues GUBNA is available in 12oz cans (4 packs) from March until July, seasonally. – Tim Matthews, Head of Brewing Operations.
The 10% alcohol by volume, 100+ IBU Oskar Blues Gubna will only be found on draft, unless you find yourself in one of the brewery’s taprooms.
Style: Imperial IPA
Hops: Azacca, Sterling, Crystal
Malts: Rye, North American Pale, Munich
Availability: Draft. March-July, Seasonal. Cans in the tap room.
10% ABV, 100+ IBUs
Recently released (on BluRay, digital download, RedBox or however you watch movies these days) is Tammy. The movie features a very awkward Melissa McCarthy and her grandmother played by Susan Sarandon.
Sarandon chugs her share of Oskar Blue’s Dale’s Pale Ale (along with Melissa) for a good bit of the film. There’s even a scene where Sarandon’s character is told she can’t drink beer (Dale’s), and she says”No, it’s my juice.”
The cans are from the brewery’s Brevard, North Carolina location. The placement makes sense too, as most of the principal photography was shot in Wilmington, North Carolina.
