OB isn't overpriced - it's dead on for what you get. Quality beer with a lot of good, quality ingredients. Love me some Deviant, too. Bout time it got packaged up for on trail consumption.
edit - here's a more in depth article from the Longmont Times Call.
Longmont-based Oskar Blues going back home to launch new distillery - Longmont Times-Call
Also note at the end of the article, new packaged rootbeer named in honor of our good buddy Brian Stiff!
"In addition to canning spirits, the company also said it will begin canning the root beer it has sold at its restaurants for the past few years. A press Oskar Blues put out said the root beer "will be named in tribute to Brian Stiff, a Lyons local and father of two who unexpectedly passed away a little over a week ago."
"He was one of our bike riding buddies," Katechis said Friday. "He lived up in Lyons, and it's just an awful, awful story."
Stiff died unexpectedly earlier this month at age 41. Since then, Katechis said, he and others in Lyons have been looking for ways to help his widow and two young children and canning the root beer, with a portion of the proceeds going to the family, is his company's way to do that."

Expensive?? 7.99 for six.. isn't pbr around 5.99 and its not that good..
to each his own though, some prefer quality over quantity and some prefer quantity over quality..
Happy about the whiskey though, love their beer so I think I will love the whisky..

Sure! I got that Turner shot glass at a Turner Homer Convention in Moab a few years back. We all used them for shots of tequila but it works fine for whiskey.
I have no idea why I had that one with me when I was at Redstone for that pic...or maybe it was Dave's. Memory fuzzy. Dave's original Dales can though.

The "T" is for tequila.
