Comments on: Mama’s Little Yella Pils by Oskar Blues http://thankheavenforbeer.com/2009/07/08/mama%e2%80%99s-little-yella-pils-by-oskar-blues/ We love beer, we thank heaven. Begrudgingly, we admit we are not the authority on all things "beer," but we know our fair share. Enjoy the good brew with us; correct us where we're wrong.

They were pairing all of their beers with local foods from CO, and he gave a lot of behind-the-scenes type of info as to how they got where they are today.

I'm glad you agree about the sentiment. The Studweiser thing is funny, too. From what I've had of Oskar Blues, I agree with you that this doesn't quite fit in. Yet, it does offer a viable alternative to macros. Just the other day we had some Red Stripe (something I rarely drink) and when my wife found out that it was the same price as Mama's Little Yella Pilsner she wondered why we didn't get that instead...the store we got it at didn't have it and it was in the middle of getting groceries. It just goes to show you that this one isn't just for mama. Thanks Howard. I’m glad you agree about the sentiment. The Studweiser thing is funny, too.

I also agree with your sentiment that it's like a macro, but better. I'll call it an Extra American Lager, like Sierra Nevada Torpedo is an Extra IPA. Compared to the rest of the Oskar Blues product line though, this just doesn't fit in. It's by far their smallest beer, and my least favorite from them, but it's still pretty good. For those of you who've never tried Oskar Blues, they put the batch number, canning date/time, plus a funny slogan on the bottom of the can. This one said "THE STUDWEISER", very fitting.
