The beer is a twice-as-hoppy version of the brewery's flagship Dale's Pale Ale. Brewed with four kinds of hops, Deviant is then dry-hopped with Columbus hops, which is what brewery spokesman Chad Melis says gives the beer most of its flavor profile.
It won a silver medal at the Great American Beer Festival in 2011 in the American IPA category, which had the largest number of entries, 176, than any category in GABF history.
Deviant Dale's should be on liquor store shelves in March.
Oskar Blues took delivery on nearly $4 million worth of new equipment at its brewery this week, including a new canning line filler, a seamer and two new fermenters.
