Primitive beer

Naming Beers is Hard

Blending Beers is Fun

In June 2025, the Boldt family of Primitive Beer joined us at Crooked Stave to blend spontaneous ales from both of our programs. Primitive is a small, family-run nomadic blendery.

From that blending session came two beers, both released in April 2026: Blending Beers Is Fun, a dry-hopped spontaneous ale with honey, and Naming Beers Is Hard, a spontaneous ale with honey.
