Dale's Pale Ale Has Arrived at the Inn...

Well....you finished off the Smuttynose in record time, so we had to replace it with something else great. After receiving quite a few positive recommendations, John decided to give Dale's Pale Ale a try. He thinks you will enjoy it too, so we've got it for you in the infamous can or on tap for a limited time.

Beer Advocate calls Dale's Pale Ale, "One of the quintessential American hoppy pale ales of our times." It has received many accolades including:

The Brewery's description: "America’s first hand-canned craft beer is a voluminously hopped mutha that delivers a hoppy nose, assertive-but-balanced flavors of pale malts and hops from start to finish. First canned in 2002, Dale’s Pale Ale is a hearty (6.5% and 65 IBUs), critically acclaimed trailblazer that has changed the way craft beer fiends perceive canned beer."

According to their website, the brewery began hand-canning Dale’s Pale Ale on a table-top machine that sealed just one can at a time. This made Oskar Blues the first US craft brewer to brew and can its own beer.  “We thought the idea of our big, luscious pale ale in a can was hilarious,” recalls founder Dale Katechis. “And it made our beer immensely portable for outdoor enjoyment fun.”
