![]() ![]() We didn’t have much of a choice in the matter. For months, on almost every single post we make (no matter the content), Pinner fans have simply left ‘Bring back Pinner’ or even just ‘Pinner’ as a comment. ![]() “The Pinner IPA comeback was driven by calls from beer drinkers on all of our social media channels. It might also quell the incessant social media comments Aaron Baker, senior marketing manager for Oskar Blues Brewery, says has filled their social media channels since the session IPA disappeared from shelves. It’s a hit of nostalgia and comfort for beer drinkers at a time people might need it the most. While I’ve enjoyed the original Can-O-Bliss and am enticed by Oskar Blues’ new resin-filled creation, the real headline generator, and assumed sales-driver, for this mixed pack will be Pinner. Drinkers should expect three 12-ounce cans of each in each Pack-O-Bliss. Joining Pinner is a new Can-O-Bliss variant, Can-O-Bliss Resinous, which Oskar Blues playfully describes as a potential “West Coast Hazy Juicy New England IPA.” The other two in the mixed pack are the standard Can-O-Bliss and Can-O-Bliss Double IPA. Instead of a standalone, shout-it-from-the rooftops social media push, the revival of the session IPA star came as part of Oskar Blues’ recent Pack-O-Bliss mixed IPA pack announcement. The return of Pinner IPA might have gone a little bit under the radar. Here’s a look at what Pinner fans can expect from the comeback of the classic, along with what’s new from Oskar Blues that could become cult favorites down the road. Now, Oskar Blues’ fan-favorite session IPA, first introduced in 2014, is back by popular demand and public support, as part of the new Pack-O-Bliss Mixed Pack. Pinner’s loyal following come from the beer’s ability to deliver vibrant pineapple and berry flavors with a bit of resinous hop bite in an easy-to-approach session IPA. The pro-Pinner cries have spammed many an Oskar Blues’ Facebook and Instagram comment sections since it was discontinued back in summer of 2019. “Melding fruit aromas and flavors with a lower ABV beer creates a killer light and refreshing Passion Fruit Pinner IPA for getting after it this summer.“Bring back Pinner.” It’s a sentiment shared by Oskar Blues Brewery’s biggest fans and casual beer drinkers alike. “Passion fruit is very prominent in PINNER Throwback IPA’s dry-hopped flavor spectrum, locking in on that and accentuating it alongside the existing mouthfeel and clean malt characteristics is a natural extension of what this beer is all about,” said head brewer Tim Matthews. The clean malts with hints of toasted biscuit pair with zesty hops to spice up the taste and aromas from immense additions of pureed passion fruit and a small spike of pureed Blood Orange. Passion Fruit PINNER IPA (4.9% ABV, 40 IBUs) accentuates the passion fruit and citrus juice attributes of the original PINNER and cranks them up to 11. The limited release brew will launch at the end of June and will blaze in all 50 states where Oskar Blues CANs are sold. Oskar Blues Brewery is twisting up a PINNER for beer drinkers to lust after this summer with its Passion Fruit PINNER Throwback IPA strain, the sultry spinoff to the brand’s existing PINNER Throwback IPA.
