Back in 1995, while working on Rocko’s Modern Life, our friend and co-worker Tony decided to brew his own beer.
Soon, bottles of the delicious (and later, legendary) “Ostyn Ale” were appearing at gatherings throughout the studio. (I remember keeping one of these bottles for years…)
Tom Yasumi and I decided to film our crew members enjoying the beer for a “commercial”. Tom even wrote a song for it and put the whole thing together. Long live the Ostyn Ale!
