LONGMONT — Oskar Blues Brewing Co. will open a brewery and taproom in Austin, Texas, by April 20, the Longmont-based brewer announced Thursday.

The 5,000-square-foot taproom will include live music, already common in the city that bills itself as the “Live Music Capital of the World.”

“The passion and rebellious nature of Austin locals along with the food, craft beer and live music scenes create a vibe that already feels like home,” said Oskar Blues founder Dale Katechis.

The new taproom and music venue will be part of a 50,000-square-foot brewery space at 10420 Metric Blvd. in Austin.  Oskar Blues will brew its full lineup of cans and draft with an initial capacity of 30,000 barrels per year and potential buildout capacity exceeding 100,000 barrels, the brewery said.
