Already had all the regular and season stuff and BA ten fidy, not worth shitting your britches over but 1 or two of them are pretty good incl BA Ten fidy.Is there any place around that is tapping anything besides those?

 

Jake Melnick's, 8/22 @ 6pm (excerpted from the event listing on facebook - emphasis mine):
Oskar Blues:

Dale's Pale - Their flagship brew, a hoppy American pale ale
Deviant Dales IPA - Dale's mean, bigger IPA brother that stole your lunch money
Dave's Pale - Named after the head brewer, Dave. Session heaven.
G'Knight Imperial Red - dry hopped, double-red sucker punch
GUBNA Imperial IPA - 100 IBU hop grenade
Mama's Little Yella Pils - sensible and comforting, like yo' mama
Old Chub Scotch Ale - beechwood-smoked malt, enjoy it lassie
And yes...
A precious 5 gallons of Ten Fidy aged in Jim Beam Bourbon barrels

 

i wonder if there is anything besides those around

 

The Fountainhead is tapping the following tomorrow night as a part of their "It Might Get Rocky" benefit for Colorado wildfire and shooting victims https://www.facebook.com/events/441759285868858/

Oskar Blues Dale’s Pale Ale
Oskar Blues Deviant Dale’s
Oskar Blues Mama’s Little Yella Pils
Oskar Blues Old Chub
Oskar Blues G’Knight
Oskar Blues Ten Fidy - Bourbon Barrel Aged

...along with a lot of nice beer from other Colorado breweries.

 

Any idea of what time this starts? The FB event doesn't have a posted time.

 

According to the email I got from them today, it starts at 4:00... which might just be the time they open up anyway on a weekday.

 

Is only chicago getting Oskar Blues? Or will this go to all of Illinois? Because i rarely get into chicago..but im in illinois quite often

 

Just Chicago metro.

 

dang

 

This is wrong. Chicago and burbs.

 

No ten fidy. You can keep the rest!

 

What else would metro mean?

 

Metro would mean Chicago only, no?

 

If you like onion bombs!

 

Oops! Yeah, I guess metro would mean Chicago and burbs. Sorry.

 

chicago metro is city. chicagoland would include burbs?

seems like a lot of places are doing tributes to Oskar Blues.
