Founded in Denver, Colorado in late 2010, Crooked Stave is the product of “Brettanomyces Guru” Chad Yakobson’s open source Master’s research, The Brettanomyces Project. Crooked Stave’s progressive brewing approach blends science and art through creativity and passion. The resulting creations, most of which use Brettanomyces yeasts and mature in oak, are beers of extraordinary complexity.
Crooked Stave is a play on the word Stave – one of many strong wooden slats collectively bound together by metal hoops to shape a wooden barrel. Our name is a commitment to how closely we work with each barrel and embodies the love we put into each beer. Wooden barrels are the focal point of our brewery and the beers we brew. We are Crooked Stave by way of origin: unique in our beginnings and set apart from our peers. We set our own path, releasing specialty Brettanomyces-only, wild, sour, and barrel-aged beers.
Mojave Blonde:
Colorado- American Blonde Ale- 5.0% ABV. This locally made, traditional style blonde ale is everything you would want in a refreshing crusher for any season and any reason! Enjoy!
Juicy East:
Colorado- Hazy/New England-Style IPA- 6.0% ABV. Built to showcase hop aroma and flavor, this juicy unfiltered American IPA is all about the hops. Dominated by citrus and tropical flavors from Amarillo, Azacca, Mosaic, and Motueka hops, this IPA remains smooth and easy drinking.
New Zealand Pilsner:
Colorado- German Pilsner- 5.4% ABV. A twist on the classic German style, this Pilsner is brewed and lightly dry hopped with the more fruity and tropical hops from New Zealand. Clean and crisp, yet expressive and unique.
Juicy West:
Colorado- American IPA. This style of beer generally offers hop-forward flavors and aromas as well as hop bitterness supported by a malt backbone. Use of different hops offer different flavors and aromas.
Sour Rosé:
Primary fermented with our mixed culture of wild yeast, Sour Rosé undergoes fermentation in large oak foeders on second-use raspberries and blueberries. Showcasing bright effervescent characteristics, Sour Rosé is the perfect sour beer for all seasons and occasions. Unfiltered and naturally wild, we package each can with a small amount of yeast to maintain maximum freshness for wherever life’s adventures take you.
Tropical Sour:
Colorado- Berliner Weissbier. This style of beer generally offers a refreshingly tart flavor in a low abv beer with a balance between yeast character and lactic acid. These can be brewed with fruit. Please see package for more information.
