#pinner #canibeblunt #sipsipgiveįounded as a brewpub by Dale Katechis in 1997, Oskar Blues Brewery launched the craft beer-in-a-can apocalypse in 2002 using a tabletop machine that sealed one can at a time. It also makes great swag for your variety-loving craft beer buds. CANundrum will now include the iconic Dale’s Pale Ale, the crisp Mama’s Little Yella Pils, the peaty smooth Old Chub Scotch Ale, and the 4.9 percent ABV PINNER IPA.ĬANundrum gives chronic CAN’d craft beer drinkers a way to pack in four different Oskar Blues brews at music festivals, trail side, or the lake. PINNER will join the mixed-pack, CANundrum, in February for national distribution, making that a hotbox of Oskar Blues beers. PINNER will be brewed in both home states of ColoRADo and North Carolina and initially distributed just in Oskar Blues’ backyards. “Many things contribute to flavor in beer, and with Pinner it’s a focus on hops and malt–with a considerable nod to the hops,” says Oskar Blues ColoRADo head brewer Tim Matthews. “With the lower ABV, layers of flavor build on one another– with one sip citrus, the next sip pineapple, next sip papaya, next sip passion fruit, next sip toasted bread–and then on to the next pint.”ĭry-hopping with several different heady hops, including a killer experimental variety, gives PINNER this tropical, stoned fruit aroma with hints of pine and smooth malt in the flavor. To put it bluntly, PINNER will be the lowest year-round ABV beer to blaze out of Oskar Blues’ brewhouses. Coming in at 4.9 percent ABV and 35 IBUs, this primo dry-hopped brew will be easy to throw back. PINNER will be released first in Oskar Blues’ home states of ColoRADo and North Carolina in mid-December. But I do like the artwork once I start looking at it because of the cool 3D font and the nice color scheme combo of tan and silver.Longmont, CO, & Brevard, NC–Oskar Blues is adding PINNER Throwback IPA to the brewery’s year-round lineup of beers in 12-ounce CANs and on draft. Nothing much about the color scheme makes this beer stand out to me on a shelf at a quick glance. It also has added stripes on the side of the can with stars on the edges which is a cool feature. The Pinner artwork is silver and tan with a 3D font that looks like it pops out of the can. The major differences between all of them are the color schemes and the font of the beer title. The mountain range on the top is on all the cans as well. Also, the Oskar Blues logo is on the bottom and the name of the beer is always front and center. They all have that shape in the background that almost looks like a ticket stub. As I said before, these statistics are the reason that this beer is easily chuggable for any IPA fans out there.Īrtwork – Oskar Blues’ cans all have very similar designs. Pinner is a very light beer as well, at 4.9% alcohol and 35 IBUs. If you normally don’t like IPAs, this beer is probably not for you. So to IPA fans like myself, this beer is definitely chuggable. This beer has the bitterness and hoppiness of a normal IPA. They distribute to most of the 50 states in America, and have had steady growth ever since they opened.īeer – Oscar Blues Pinner Throwback IPA is an easy drinking session IPA. Today, Oskar Blues is a nationwide brewery with locations in Colorado, Texas, and North Carolina. This event pushed a large amount of other breweries to jump on the bandwagon and start coming out with cans for their beers. In 2009, Oskar Blues Brewery sponsored the event “Burning Can” which featured beer from a bunch of breweries around America that had canned craft beers. So Oscar Blues Dales Pale Ale was the first canned craft beer that actually became successful. Also Pete’s Summer Brew was put into cans in 1999, but never took off either. For instance Mid Coast Chief Oshkosh Red Lager in 1991 was in a can, but didn’t get even close to the same popularity. If you look back in beer history, there has been other canned craft beers before 2002. Some credit this distribution expansion as the first canned craft beer. In 2002, Dale decided to put his “Dales Pale Ale” in cans and start selling it on shelves. This boosted the attendance of the restaurant and gained the place popularity. So 2 years later, he started brewing his own beer in the basement of the restaurant. The restaurant was kind of successful, but Dale wanted more of a unique route. Since then, many NASCAR teams have jumped on the bandwagon and have been using craft breweries as sponsors.Ībout Oskar Blues Brewery – Dale Katechis opened up Oskar Blues Original Grill and Brew Restaurant in 1997 in Lyons Colorado.
