Dale's Pale Ale The Spit or Swallow Beer Review
Dale's Pale Ale
Brewed by: Oskar Blues Grill & Brew Colorado, United States
Brewed with hefty amounts of European malts and four kinds of American hops, it delivers a blast of hop aromas, a rich middle of malt and hops, and a thrilling finish. It weighs in at 6.5 % alcohol by volume. Why squeeze such a big brew into a little can? Because we think fun in the great outdoors calls for great beer. Our cans go where bottled beers can't, where flavorless canned beers don't belong. And no matter where you drink Dale's Pale Ale, our can protect it from light and oxidation far better than bottles do.

Oskar Blues Brew and Grill opened in 1997. Oskar Blues launched the canning operation in a crappy 60-year-old barn next door to the pub in the fall of 2002. They were the first American Craft Brewery to brew and can their beer; today over 150 craft breweries are doing it. The original crew used a hand-canning line on a table-top machine that sealed one can at a time. Oskar Blues Brewery in Longmont packaged 41,000 barrels in 2010 and grew to 59,000 in 2011.

Asheville Ale Trail samples Oskar Blues Pinner IPA
The Asheville Ale Trail talks with Anne-Fitten Glenn of Oskar Blues Brewing in Brevard, North Carolina about their new release - the Pinner Throwback IPA. Drawing its name from the brewery’s counter-culture roots, PINNER IPA is billed as an easy drinking dry-hopped brew. Registering in at sessionable 4.9 percent ABV, PINNER will be the lowest alcohol content beer produced at Oskar Blues’ brewhouses. Dry-hopped with several different hops, including Mosaic, Citra, Eldorado, Azzaca, and a new experimental varietal, we’re told PINNER IPA will have”a tropical, stoned fruit aroma with hints of pine and smooth malt in the flavor”.

Oskar Blues Ten Fidy Chili Cookoff - August 29, 2013 - @oskarblueswnc
August 30, 2013 - The Daily Waterfall
Joel McLead of Mills River collected Oskar Blues merchandise after winning the Ten Fidy Chili Cookoff on August 29, 2013 in Brevard, NC, with his Cincinnati-style recipe featuring cinnamon and baker's chocolate.
The craft brewer released the last of the firsts and served its seventh and final flagship beer, Ten Fidy (10.5% alc/vol), after completing its very first run through the tanks at the brewery.
Oskar Blues has been selling the Colorado Ten Fidy and serving it at the Brevard Tasty Weasel Taproom, but cans from Brevard will begin shipping for sales in 15 states as of early- to mid- September, according to Oskar Blues Marketing Director Anne-Fitten Glenn.
Until then, Ten Fidy is available only in the taproom at the brewery. Ten Fidy, an imperial stout, is different from the brewer's hoppy varieties because of its darkness and chocolaty flavor, and can be stored for up to 4 years or more.
