Denver brewery Oskar Blues' newest beer smells like weed. By no accident. According to brewery founder Dale Katechis, Pinner Throwback IPA — a 4.9 percent ABV, dry-hopped IPA — takes on a marijuana-like aroma because "The cannabis plant and flower and the hop flower, they’re both in the family of cannabaceae, and the aromas are very similar." The session beer (meaning it's low in alcohol) is named "pinner" which, according to Urban Dictionary, is "A small marijuana cigarette rolled tightly, and lacking in marijuana content." Low alcohol beer vs. low weed joint. Makes sense.

The cans are also decorated with weed references like "Can I Be Blunt" and "Pass to the Left."

Right now Pinner Throwback IPA is sold in Colorado and North Carolina liquor stores with expansion to 41 states slated for March 1.
