You're right though, the Ten Fidy is a great beer. I will normally drink it with dessert if I'm out at a restaurant, it goes better with most desserts than most wines :) I actually have an Old Chub in the fridge, but havent opened it yet… so, review pending!

Probably one of the most robust pale ales I've ever had. Have you tried their Old Chub? I keep thinking about it, but reaching for Ten FIDY instead... Nice review.

Sun, 19 Jul 2009 15:04:48 +0000 http://foodandwineblog.com/?p=3702#comment-5451 Yeah, Dale's is very good. They definitely push the Centennial hops for that piney edge. I first had it on draft at Bonaroo 2007 and was quite taken with it. Oskar Blues is the pioneer in craft-canning, but many smaller breweries from the Rockies and West are beginning to transition to cans primarily for the much lower transportation costs (and, thereby, lower carbon footprint) given the far lighter-weight nature of cans compared to bottles. As a result, I think that we on the the East coast will start to see great regional West coast brewers like New Belgium, Bells, Deschutes etc. start to be shipped here more readily if the brewers think they can keep from over-blowing their production levels/quality control.
