Oskar Blues gimmicky?

Gimmicky beer: pages of book in beer

OB is pretty bland compared to some, IMHO. If bland means making kickass beers across the lineup.

 

Well I think canned beer is great but unfortunately there's not a large selection of canned craft at my local store but I can always count on Oskar Blues to be there and they have all their big releases.

 

great gateway beer for non craft drinkers and very consistant, and when i can get a four pack of Gubna thats six days old you better believe im gonna jump on that.

 

What is wrong with it? Other breweries (Stone, Bear Republic, etc) put their beers in 12oz bottles and bombers. I dont see much of a difference. I think the big cans are pretty cool.

 

Some say gimmicky. I say interesting, fun, tasty.

 

Many believe that cans are the future of craft beer. One could argue that OB is simply one of the breweries riding the crest of the wave. Offering a variety of sizes seems like a logical thing to do.

 

I don't think its a good idea, but for more of a logistical reason. Those tall cans won't fit on a shelf designed for a 12 bottle or normal sized can.

 

One of my favorite brewers, love their attitude! Even their facebook page is fun and "gimmicky", but the beers are what it's really all about.

 

Yeah, 16 oz. for a beer is odd for beer. Who drinks a pint of beer?

 

I don't see can sizes as a gimmick.

 

Are you complaining that you have more beer to pour into your glass, or that it doesn't fit in your cup holder?

 

How are tall boys gimmicky? I don't get it.

I also don't think it's hindering them from releasing new beers if they want to, so please stop losing sleep over it.

 

I will not support OB until I can find fresh G'knight in 40's at my local liquor store.

 

This. Many breweries release the same beer across different package formats; if OB wants to do the same, great. I doubt they're deliberately holding off on some cool new beer because they're too infatuated with varying can sizes.

 

I won't complain about larger cans. 19oz of mamas lil yella pils sounds like the perfect amount to me. Now a 19.2oz can of ten fidy might be a bit excessive. I believe the pils may still be available in 12oz, if that's what you prefer then buy it

 

I'll believe it when I see premeir wineries canning their wine. Could you imagine Firestone presenting their Anniversary series, Sucaba, & Parabola with a can in a box? Please, no....

 

Hmmm. Touche, my friend.

 

No gimmicks here, just good clean fun brah.

 

I can imagine Heady Topper in a can.
