    Does anyone drink Oskar Blues anymore? I don't remember the last time I had anything from them,saw them in a store or heard anyone talk about them. Maybe it's time to seek some out and revisit them.

    Sure - about once a month I grab a Fidy or BA Fidy out of the cellar. I've tried their others and Old Chub is great too. Hope to get some Rum BA Fidy this year...

    pinner had been a beer I have had at parties the last few years. I like it.

    Can't remember the last time I bought a beer from them.

    Maybe the black IPA last year. That was a good beer.

    Enjoy

    Dale's pale ale is to me one of the best APA/IPAs readily available. I also really love Beerito but I can almost never find it.

    Had 2 snifters of G'Knight earlier.

    Must admit, I don't grab their beers too often. Grabbed the newest release of their's I've seen (Fugli) when it came out. I really enjoyed Gubna last I had it, but I think I missed last year's.

    It depends on where you live. One store will sell the gambit of their stuff while others only sell the basic selection.

    Havent tried them yet. I see dusty ten fidy on the shelf, but at 15 bucks for 4 pack of 12 oz I pass. Evil twin has 4 packs of 16 ouncers for the same price. I'm sure it's good, but there are many good affordable Imp stouts.

    Had the Mama's lil pils last nite on tap, and probably grab a Dale's Pale about 2 times a month at various bars. If my son sees this on the menu he is ordering it

    You're right in that it doesn't seem like people drink them too often. Ten Fidy is by far their best beer (imo) and I buy it at least several times a year. I don't care for Dale's Pale or some of their hoppy beers as much as I used to, but they're still well made. Actually, I do like their regular "IPA" quite a bit. Aside from Ten Fidy, my other favorite from them is probably Mama's Little Yella Pils, but in a sea of other great pilsners out there, I don't buy it too often.

    :thinking_face: No one drink it anymore, but somehow they brewed over 200,000 bbl. of beer in 2016 (and, no, that doesn't including Cigar City and Perrin).

    I live 30 minutes south of the brewery in Colorado. Yes I drink a lot of it.

    Wherever bbl/year is stated, it would be great to know the percentage of tap. Could be OB distribution is largely tap, so judging can distribution doesn't give the full picture. I usually see them on tap somewhere in town.

    Can't say that I do and there's no particular reason, just don't think about them although I do like them.

    Sure. Like most brewers, I buy them sometimes - depends on what's distributed in my area. Had my first Fugli two days ago.

    Yeah, brewing industry directories in the past used to note it (sometimes optionally), such as this Schell's entry in The Brewers Journal Directory for 1945:
    [​IMG]
    Since it was during WWII, no canning was done - as the entry for California's General Brewing Co. (Lucky Lager) stated:
    Post-war, the annual listings typically broke it down as "Draught" or "Packaged" for bottles and cans but, yeah, eventually the info was usually dropped. I imagine that once draught fell to 12% and then under 10% of the market (1980s-1990s) it became irrelevant. It's been increasing since then, of course, with the increased market share of "craft" breweries and "on site" sales.

My buddy is driving out from CO Monday. I asked him to try and get me some of their Hotbox porter..I think it just released or is going to release soon?
