Colorado Mod Coupe driver #95 Cris Muhler has won six races this year. The Dale’s Pale Ale & Mama’s Little Yella Pils sprint cars have won three features and a handful of heat races on dirt tracks around Wisconsin.

“It’s been a blast bringing craft beer to the amazing fans of NASCAR,” says Neal Price, the man behind the Oskar Blues race car program, who will be slinging the Oskar Blues beer luv all weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway in October.
“We are so excited to welcome Oskar Blues here. As a facility, this ensures we deliver the best products and experience for our fans, and Oskar Blues provides that,” says Brandy Mills, CMS business development director.

Whether it’s our complex and challenging beers, the aggressive mountain bikes our bike company makes, or going to the race trackÔǪspeed is in our blood.”

About Oskar Blues Brewery
Founded by Dale Katechis in 1997 as a brewpub and grill, Oskar Blues Brewery launched its craft-brewed beer canning operations in 2002 in Lyons, Colo. It was the first American craft brewery to brew and can its beer. Today there are more than 200 craft breweries canning beer. The original crew used a hand-canning line on a tabletop machine that sealed one can at a time. Oskar Blues Brewery in Longmont packaged 59,000 in 2011 and grew to 85,750 in 2012 while opening an additional brewery in Brevard, NC, in late 2012.
