The first craft brewery to put its beer in cans, Oskar Blues is truly a pioneer. Located in Longmont, CO, this growing craft brewery is continually creating ways to be distinct. For example, their recent beer collaboration with Sun King Brewing Co, CHAKA, features a 16-oz resealable aluminum bottle, a first for craft beer.
But packaging is not the only way Oskar Blues demonstrates its ecological awareness. For example, by creating a sustainable agriculture experience with their Hops & Heifers Farm, Oskar Blues seamlessly integrates brewery waste outflows into productive farm inflows.
