Crooked Hammock Brewery Adding Banana Hammock

Sometimes a great beer name is just too good to pass up (especially if you have a 5th-grade sense of humor like me)—and Crooked Hammock Brewery clearly agreed. Hailing from Lewes, Delaware, the brewery is preparing to release Banana Hammock, a big, bold ale that leans fully into its cheeky name.
Banana Hammock is brewed with real banana and cacao nibs, creating a rich, dessert‑inspired flavor profile. Even more impressive, the ale clocks in at a hefty 15% ABV, making it one of Crooked Hammock’s strongest offerings to date.
The beer will be packaged in 16‑ounce cans, perfect for sharing—or savoring slowly. Release details have not yet been announced, so be sure to stay tuned for availability updates.
