Oskar Blues and the “Dale’s” beers are synonmous with each other. Dale’s Pale Ale launched 2002 is easily one of the best known pale ales in craft beer. This month, the Dale’s lineup is expanding, with the launch of Dale’s American IPA.
Dale’s American IPA is a 7% ABV West Coast-style IPA designed to bridge classic hop-forward brewing with modern drinkability (a stark contrast the chunky haze bombs of the past few years.) The new offering features a citrus, pine, and herbal profile built on a contemporary malt foundation, to create a more both hoppy and straight forward while still being familiar.
PA is the most iconic style in American craft beer…and the roots of the Dale’s lineup are in hop-forward, aggressive but approachable beers. With American IPA, we found the classic balance of hop flavor between familiar and fearless – an American quality of pushing boundaries but staying grounded.” – Aaron Baker, Brand Director, Oskar Blues
Dale’s American IPA joins an expanding portfolio that includes Dale’s Pale Ale, Dale’s Light Lager, Double Dales IPA, Easy IPA, and most recently – Designated Dales NA Pils. T
The beer is currently available on tap at Oskar Blues’ Brevard, North Carolina and Longmont, Colorado taprooms, with select state distribution beginning this month and national availability in 6-packs of 12-ounce cans and on draft expected by fall 2025.
As part of Oskar Blues’ partnership with USA Curling, the new IPA will be featured at curling clubs and events nationwide through the 2026 Winter Olympic Games season.
