IT TAKES CHARACTERS TO BREW BEER WITH CHARACTER Somewhere in Durango Colorado, in the year nineteen hundred and ninety-five, two guys named Dave and Bill learned that while they loved gulping down good beer, they weren’t yet old enough to buy it. They figured an answer to their quandary would appear if they drank enough and listened to enough thinking music, also known as Ska. On the second Skaturday of Skatember it hit them. If they brewed their own beer they’d have all the beer they could ever want. And while they were at it, why not brew the most magnificent suds ever quaffed in their neck of the woods…or any other neck for that matter.
Elsewhere in the world forces were conspiring to conglomerize and corporatize all of beerdom. Wheels were in motion to turn what was once an art mastered by those attracted to the science of handys, into a mechanized mire of swill so sullen it zombifies all who drink it. The black clouds of an evil empire were gathering, with one singular, maniacal mission - take total control and destroy the craft of brewing forever. Little did our heroes know that it would be up to them to save us all and make the world safe for good tasty beer once more...
The Ska Brewing story continues....
Ska Brewing offers Premium Beers Without Being Pretentious. They take pride in every batch of beer produced. Using only the purest ingredients, and carefully coaxing their beer until it reaches optimum flavor.
Ska Brewing Euphoria Pale Ale Offers a big backbone of malt–with plenty of caramel sweetness and just a touch of chocolate and toast–provides enough alcohol to stay warm through the winter months. But it's the epic grapefruit hop aroma and flavor, provided by a huge dry hop addition at the end of fermentation, that really make this seasonal beer shine. 6.2% ABV 58 IBU’s
Ska Brewing Modus Hoperandi IPA An American-style India Pale Ale with a deep golden-orange color. Bitter and hoppy, with a surprisingly smooth finish. Strong citrus aromas followed by pine rise from the glass. As it moves across your tongue... bitterness... following close behind is a melding of citrus and pine with light caramel sweetness. 6.8% ABV 88 IBU’s
Ska Modus Mandarina IPA A unique twist on Modus Hoperandi, this citrus IPA is dry-hopped with a generous portion of Mandarina Bavaria hops and brewed with sweet orange peels. The dry-hopped addition of the Mandarina Bavaria give the beer a distinct aroma of tangerine and citrus, the orange peels added to the beer also give it just a subtle touch of orange in the flavor profile. 6.8% ABV 88 IBU’s
Ska Pink Vapor Stew Sour Ale A tropical medley of citrus, sour and tart flavors blended together originally for their 21st Anniversary party. Citra and Belma hops combine with beets, carrots, ginger and apples turning this brew into a pink vapor stew! 5.1% ABV 20 IBU’s

Carlsberg lager
The Carlsberg Brewing Company
Carlsberg Founder, J.C. Jacobsen's Golden Words: "It shall be a constant purpose to develop the art of making beer to the highest possible degree of perfection and assist in keeping the brewing of beer in this country on a high and honorable level."
JC Jacobsen, born in 1811, brewed his first lager in his cellar. In 1845, this young Danish brewer travelled all the way from Copenhagen to Munich to get hold of special yeast for his beer. In 1847, he established his first micro-brewery in Copenhagen and the name he gave to his new brewery was Carlsberg.
A believer in science, he shared his knowledge with fellow brewers. A true Danish hipster, his bow ties and remarkable beard were part of his trademark look.
JC Jacobsen’s establishment of the Carlsberg Laboratory in 1875 marked Carlsberg as the world’s first large industrial enterprise to invest heavily in research and innovation. Even more revolutionary, anything discovered at the lab was freely shared with the whole brewing industry. The same applied to yeast, which was distributed from the yeast tower at Carlsberg up until 1988.
Throughout his life, JC visited many breweries around Europe. This allowed for a continuous exchange of knowledge and technology and the consequent improvement of the brewery. For example, in 1879 Carlsberg installed the first refrigeration machine in Denmark to allow bottom fermentation at low temperatures.
Carlsberg Lager is a refreshing and uniquely characterful international premium Pilsner with a malty backbone and balanced bitterness.
One of The Best Beers In The World. Try it for only $6.99 a 6pk-16oz cans. WOW!!
The Oktoberfest – also known as the Wiesn – is the largest festival in the world, attracting over 6 million visitors a year. A record approximately 7 million liters (about 1.85 million gallons) of beer were served in 2010 at the 200th Oktoberfest celebration.
In October 1810, Franz Baumgartner, an officer of the National Guard, proposed a horse race to honor the wedding of Bavaria’s Crown Prince Ludwig to Princess Therese of Sachsen-Hildburghausen. The idea was inspired by the Scarlet Races, held during the Middle Ages with the winner taking home a valuable scarlet scarf of King Max I. Joseph loved the idea and arranged for the races to be held on the meadow in front of the city’s gates. It was such a success that the races were repeated and the field became known as Theresienwiese (Theresa’s field), where the Oktoberfest takes place.
