Oskar Blues Brewery releases 2014 Craft Brewers Conference commemorative beer: Centennial Pale Ale #CBC2014

April 11, 2014Jason Morgan

The 2014 Craft Brewers Conference (CBC) Commemorative Beer is an innovative collaborative project involving 145 Colorado Brewers Guild members. For months, Colorado brewers have been developing dozens of ideas for this special brew. The official 2014 CBC beer will be called Centennial Pale Ale in connection with Colorado being known as the Centennial State.

All 145 Colorado Brewers Guild member brewers were invited to the brew day on Feb. 24 at Oskar Blues Brewery.

The Centennial Pale Ale is the first American craft beer to use the Ball Corp.’s new Dynamark Variable Printing Technology. The variable print technology will create a collection of cans that will spell “CBC Colorado 2014” when aligned with the full collection of cans available to CBC attendees. In addition to the Dynamark Variable Printing Technology, the Centennial Pale Ale demonstrates the innovative nature of Colorado’s craft beer culture by being the first-ever CBC collaboration beer to be packaged in a can, a 19.2 oz. single serve can that was introduced to the U.S. market in 2013.
