Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailBeer

Did somebody say “Frau Blücher?” (Neighhh!) Enthusiastic movie buff and FSB brewmeister, Herr Darren Link, is giddy to introduce this Young Frankenstein-inspired first-ever FSB small-batch beer! So go ahead and say it…you know you want to! “Smoked Frau Blücher!” (Neighhh!) A traditionally brewed Oktoberfestbier and then, after tireless experimentation, this beer is given new life with a Fifth Street Brewpub-twist of oak smoked wheat. Yeah, we know what you’re thinkin’, Technically this is not a true Märzenbier. However, be assured that the dark copper color promises all the full-bodied, rich, toasty flavors of fall you would expect. With “Smoked Frau Blücher!” (Neighhh!), you get the added bonus of the perfectly balanced taste of oak with a mild hop profile that drinks very easy. Prost meine Damen, Herren…und Pferde! (Translation: Cheers ladies, men and horses …)

Amber with smoked malts and hemp seeds.

A smoky, bigger, bolder version of our house stout. A strong roasted malt flavor, slightly drier and not too much on the smoke.

This beer just needs one word - BACON. Rauchbiers are originally from Southern Bavaria where the Malster smokes the malt over Beachwood. It is smoky and woody up front and finishes clean just like a good lager should. You'll find this lager during the summer months in the Beergarden.

Our Smoked Lager has a rich and robust flavor, medium body, and about 5.5% alcohol. It is a copper gold beer with smoky notes in the aroma. If you’ve never tried a smoked beer, the flavor is unlike any beer you’ve ever had. It’s like a smoky scotch without the burn, or Canadian bacon without the pig. The flavor is a complex blending of sweet smoked malt and crisp German hops. The Lager was brewed to commemorate our 1100th batch of beer.

Originally collaborated on with our friends at Dryhop of Chicago. This stout is full bodied, dark and sweet, with a smoked, dry flavor.

When the weather is right, there’s nothing like an Oktoberfest/Märzenbier and all its malty glory. But why make yet another Märzen that gets lost in the shuffle? We decided to include some smoked malt, actually a part of some traditional Märzen recipes, to set ours apart. There’s still a rich, sticky-sweet malt chararcter, and a deep ruby color, but the smoked edge adds a fun turn to the flavor profile and also dries out the mouthfeel a bit.

A big, RICH dark ale with a complex combination of beechwood smoked malts, chocolate, coffee and caramel flavors rounding out the beers smooth creamy body.

Dark and rich robust porter brewed with beechwood smoked barley malt.

The porter is an old style that originated over three centuries ago in England. A smoked flavor interacts nicely with the sweetness. This is a moderately bitter beer, although the bitterness is undermined by the low hop aroma and flavor. The overall impression is of a traditional English porter, moderately dark, with roasted flavorings, and a little maltiness thrown in. A great beer for black and tans.

The smokey flavour and aroma of this unique beer is achieved by using beechwood smoked malt. At 6.8% alcohol it is dark, full bodied and smooth with notes of chocolate.

A true campfire beer, balancing rich malt, smoke, subtle sweetness and chocolate roast

Prior to brewing our Smoked Porter, Matt selects specialty malts to be smoked over an open flame, imparting a unique flavor profile in the porter. The malts are smoked using apple and hickory wood for a full 72 hours. Spring House Brewing Co. chose to smoke the grain in a local smoke house that dates back to the late 19th century. This one-of-a-kind smoke house imparts layers of smoky depth to the beer that cannot be replicated. Enjoy!

Before there was Stout, there was Porter, the world’s first mass-produced beer. Our version is robust in character with a well balanced, toasted rich malt character and spicy hop bitterness. In the aroma and finish is just a hint of sweet smokiness.

Dangerous Man's Smoked Porter is a blend of the rustic and the delicate. The aroma is sweet and smokey, reminiscent of Midwest campfires and bitter chocolate nibs. Full bodied, this porter is a balance of chocolate, roast, and beachwood-smoke which adds hints of vanillins to the flavor.
