    Am I the only one underwhelmed by OB? I've had Dale's PA, the Pils, Gubna, Old Chub and Dale's Deviant, and while they are well made, none of them set my hair on fire. I've yet to try Ten Fidy, and I will, but I'm adjusting my expectations....

    Ten Fidy and G'Knight are their two best beers in my opinion. Try those two out before you give up on Oskar Blues completely.

    Ten Fiidy is definitely their best beer, and I agree the are all good but nothing mind blowing. The problem is as of now Ten Fidy is not in IL, but I don't see why they wouldn't bring it in soon or when next available?

    Ten Fidy is a seasonal release and you should see it in late November/early December.

    Ten Fidy is all you need to know. Others are good, but nothing mind blowing. But Ten Fidy.... [insert mouth-watering smiley]

    I think you meant to refer to Gubna.

    BA Ten Fidy at fountainhead. Dun dun dun.

    BA Ten Fidy is delicious but it isnt too much more delicious than the base beer. E.g., aint gonna stop my moving process to drive to chicago for a pint today.

    +1. That's what I got from Twiiter as well.

    And I forgot to post the following on the Fountainhead tap list for tonight:

    Cask - Oskar Blues Dry-Hopped Dale's Pale Ale

    Nope. Deviant is a spicy, onion ipa. Have had 6 cans or so, 3 or 4 different occasions and just don't like it at all.

    I find Gubna to be a bloomin' onion but I really enjoyed fresh Deviant's. Still, Oskar Blues it like the Stone of Colorado... some really nice stuff but mostly OK offerings. Still x2, the more the merrier in Chicago.
