Apparently it’s an order of Christian monks and nuns. But as a final blast of cryptic nonsense, here’s a single word description of Pinner: it’s a **** I’ve cheated in order to finish the thing and am enjoying the beer in a less taxing environment by watching football instead. So has it helped my crossword solving struggles? Yes. It’s not as sticky sweet as some IPAs we’ve tried recently, but the dry and refreshing trick certainly makes you want to progress from a single can to a ring pull ripping session. And mightily appealing it is too, full of dry biscuit maltiness and a good dose of mango hoppiness drifting by on a tropical breeze. ** Made by Oskar Blues, a brewery based in ***, Pinner is designed to have all the appeal of an Amercian IPA but at a much more gluggable strength – described as a ‘Throwback IPA’ on the can. ![]() To appease the begging of grey matter I’ve cracked open a can of. I’m beginning to get to grips with some of the codes, abbreviations and wordplay, but most puzzles still contain far too many baffling clues for my novice deduction skills.įor example, take this clue from the crossword I’m currently tackling, set by Otterden in the Guardian last week: Order for stone coffin someone from the West Midlands once executed (10).* Too much time has been wasted trying to fathom that one and now my brain is pleading with me for something it understands much better: the simple pleasure of beer.

PINNER will join the mixed-pack, CANundrum, in February for national distribution, making that a hotbox of Oskar Blues beers. PINNER will be brewed in both home states of ColoRADo and North Carolina and initially distributed just in Oskar Blues’ backyards. “With the lower ABV, layers of flavor build on one another–with one sip citrus, the next sip pineapple, next sip papaya, next sip passion fruit, next sip toasted bread–and then on to the next pint.”ĭry-hopping with several different heady hops, including a killer experimental variety, gives PINNER this tropical, stoned fruit aroma with hints of pine and smooth malt in the flavor. “Many things contribute to flavor in beer, and with Pinner it’s a focus on hops and malt–with a considerable nod to the hops,” says Oskar Blues ColoRADo head brewer Tim Matthews.

PINNER will be released first in Oskar Blues’ home states of ColoRADo and North Carolina in mid-December. Oskar Blues is adding PINNER Throwback IPA to the brewery’s year-round lineup of beers in 12-ounce CANs and on draft. ![]()
