Oskar Blues’ new beer, Pinner, shouts out to marijuana via its name, aroma

If you've ever popped opened a beer and smelled hints of marijuana, there's a horticultural reason for that. Just ask Dale Katechis (he of Dale's Pale Ale fame), who founded Colorado favorite Oskar Blues Brewery in 1997. "Like a lot of our beers, the hop character and the aroma has always reminded people of cannabis," Katechis told The Cannabist. "The cannabis plant and flower and the hop flower, they’re both in the family of cannabaceae, and the aromas are very similar."
