Belt’s Beer Garden: Stave-ing for More

Crooked Stave Artisan Beer Project was started by Chad Yakobson in Denver, Colorado in 2010. Yakobson, who wrote his Master’s thesis on Brettanomyces and their use in brewing, uses a “progressive brewing approach [that] blends science and art through creativity and passion.”

They are known for making some of the best sour and barrel-aged beers in the nation, especially brews that use Brett yeast.

However, today I don’t have one of their sours or Bretty beers. Instead I have a traditional fall classic that was just released for spring time - Märzen. The brew was packaged on March 9th, has a nice 6% ABV, and cost me $6 for the 16 ounce can.
