Dale's Pale Ale

The experts said flavorful, high-end beer couldn't be put in a can. The folks at Oskar Blues Brewery in Colorado said otherwise.

 

They introduced canned, craft-brewed beer in 2002, and it has been a spectacular success. Their flagship beer, Dale's Pale Ale, is a remarkably big, flavorful and well-hopped beer that will impress even the biggest bottle-only beer snobs.

 

It has a copper color, rich aroma and 65 Bittering Units. That's brewers' talk for "it's hoppy as hell."

 

Dale's Pale Ale is available across Colorado and in a smattering of beer-loving states all around the country.
