About this beer

Hop & Barrel Brewing Company’s Crooked Grin is a 6.5% ABV India Pale Ale. The label boasts a whimsical, somewhat surreal illustration of a grinning man with hops sprouting from his head, surrounded by a border of hop cones—a playful nod to the beer’s namesake and key ingredient. This IPA delivers a pronounced hop character with floral and citrus notes, underpinned by a pale malt backbone. It is brewed with a light malt bill to allow a substantial dry-hopping schedule to shine through, creating a crisp, refreshing experience.

The can notes a comical phrase, “One Grin will crook & walk straight,” suggesting a lighthearted and potentially potent brew. Furthermore, the label details a standard government warning regarding alcohol consumption. The brewery is located in Stillwater, Minnesota, and specializes in lift-served craft beer.
