Cheba Hut downtown has new murals by Gamma Acosta
Cheba Hut is much more than a pot-based joke. The small chain of "toasted" sub shops may be based in Tempe, Arizona, but it definitely appreciates local customers, local produce and local beers -- the Cheba Hut in downtown Denver has twenty Colorado beers on tap. And now it also has two murals by Longmont street artist Gamma Acosta.

His style may still reflect the street, but Acosta has come a long way since he helped create a mural for a new teen dance club in Longmont a decade ago. These days, he works hard on one commissioned mural after another, at schools, restaurants, head shops, motorcycle dealerships, movie theaters and any other business willing to offer him a wall to claim as his own. 
"I need to paint," he says. "If you take that away from me, we'd have a problem."
But no one has a problem with the colorful murals at Cheba Hut, which were just finished Sunday and fit right in with the store's psychedelic theme.
