Crooked Stave

Founded in Denver, Colorado in late 2010, Crooked Stave is the product of “Brettanomyces Guru” Chad Yakobson’s Master’s research, The Brettanomyces Project. Crooked Stave’s progressive brewing approach blends science and art through creativity and passion. The resulting creations, many of which use Brettanomyces yeasts and mature in oak barrels, are beers of extraordinary complexity and quality.

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. The name is a commitment to how a barrel can physically embody the love put into each beer.
