It gets so HOT that a beer like Blue Paddle would be mighty good while sitting in a river listening to bluegrass.

Oskar Blues Beer Should Be Sold at RockyGrass!

I love Lyons, love the festivals, my favorite venue.  But this beer thing bugs me.

They are Local!  Support your local Brewery! Your local merchants!

Seems Like a no-brainer to me.    Why can't New Belgium deal with competition?

Why can't Planet Blue Grass insist that the local brewery be represented?

I tend to agree, but Ft. Collins isn't exactly very far away :)

But I thought last year you could pick up cans at the Oscar Blues food both, but tap would be better.
Lucky for me I have a Dale's Ale on tap across the road, I'll just fill up before hand

It is probably because New Belgium is a very green company.  They fit with the Planet Bluegrass' sustainability ideology and practices.

New Belgium may share sustainability ideologies (say that five times fast!) with Planet Bluegrass, but the bottom line is they are a sponser, they pay money and in exchange get exlusive rights to the beer sales.   

Let's break this down - wouldn't it be more "green" to get the beer brewed right here in Lyons?  "support your local merchants" - That was the progressive mantra I heard at festivals my whole life, which is really a very "green" statement long before "go green" was ever a buzzword.

I have nothing against New Belgium, and I'm sure glad they sponser the festivals, and I'm sure glad it's not a big Budweiser sign on the silo.   I just want to be able to order a delicious Dale's Pale, and the fact they can't sell their beer just rubs me wrong.
