DINNER AND A SHOW

The FEED brand of food and entertainment is returning to Longmont on Jan. 24 and 25 with a four-course meal that is accompanied by performances and live music.

The event, called FEED: Cold, will serve patrons four small plates and cocktails that are accompanied by and supplemented by artistic performances. It is a follow-up to a previous event by The Catamounts, a theatrical production company that runs shows throughout Colorado.

“A new twist on our former FEED: Short and Sweet, the reconceived FEED: Cold will explore, over a four-course, seated meal, that chilly, dark time of year when warmth is found in the most unexpected of places,” the group said in a press release.

The dinner and show will be held at Still Cellars, a distillery and art house in Longmont that hosts live events. Cocktails will be made from Still Cellars’ unique liquors and creations.

Tickets start at $40 for the Saturday, Jan. 24 show at 7:30 p.m. and the Sunday, Jan. 25 show at 6 p.m. Get tickets at feedcold.brownpapertickets.com.

CELEBRATE OSKAR BLUES’ NEW BREW

Oskar Blues will be hosting a party at the ColoRADo Tasty Weasel taproom in Longmont on Saturday, Jan. 10 at 1 p.m. to celebrate the release of its Pinner IPA.

But this is no ordinary party. There will be hot air balloon rides from the brewery parking lot, live music from blues band The Delta Sonics, and fabulous gifts and prizes will be handed out including Icelantic skis, Oskar Blues gift cards and concert tickets. There’s even a skee ball tournament at 6 p.m. and free brewery tours will start at 2 p.m.

So what kind of beer deserves such wild celebration? According to Oskar Blues, “Coming in at 4.9 percent ABV and 35 IBUs, this primo dry-hopped brew is easy to throw back. To put it bluntly, Pinner will be the lowest year-round ABV beer to blaze out of Oskar Blues’ brewhouses.”

If you live in Boulder and do manage to drink too much of the Pinner on Saturday, the Oskar Blues trolley will pick up Boulderites at The Dark Horse at 2:30 p.m., and return them at 7 p.m.

Pinner IPA will be available in the future on tap and in 12-ounce cans in beer stores.

KOREAN FOOD TRUCK NEEDS YOUR HELP!

Justine Park is trying to bring authentic Korean food to Boulder County via truck. Not just any truck either: a remodeled American Red Cross emergency response vehicle named Florence. Park calls it Heart and Seoul.

“Heart and Seoul blends Korean cuisine with local and high-quality ingredients for every palate,” Park writes on her Kickstarter page. “[It is] a celebration of my heritage, inspired by local abundance, combined with thoughtful and flavorful food for everyone to enjoy. Heart and Seoul will serve gluten-free, Korean-inspired cuisine … and prepackaged foods with an emphasis on vegetarian and local organic meat options with a vision of a brick and mortar fast casual eatery! Feed the soul!” In order to bring this goodness to Boulder County, Park needs supporters to donate via Kickstarter. If she gains the $33,300 she needs, we could all soon be eating elk bulgogi, kimchi, Korean glass noodles, dumplings, Korean tacos, bacon-wrapped chicken and a whole lot of things you’ve never seen before.

To support the truck, go to kickstarter.com and search “Heart and Seoul food truck.”
