Rocky Mountain News picks Dale’s Pale

Rocky Mountain News chooses Dale’s Pale Ale as the top Colorado-brewed beer. The explanation:

Why it’s tops: The folks at Oskar Blues in Lyons have turned the craft-brewing world on its head by packing Dale’s in cans. This rich-tasting brew loaded with European malt and American hops has become popular because it tastes great, travels well, and it’s fresher tasting because it’s protected from light.

New Belgium’s Fat Tire captured the People’s Choice award.
