Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailBeer

Yea, it’s a hefeweizen. You got something to say about it? Brewed loud and proud and year-round in the great state of New York. Weisse Guy says, “I dare you to call me a summer beer.” Fuggedaboutit!

A nice cold, refreshing wheat beer made with 100% German ingredients and served unfiltered “mit hefe”, or with yeast.

Barley for beer, wheat for bread. The age has passed when brewing a beer from wheat seemed indulgent, but true Weizen beer remains a luxury. A unique strain of yeast produces banana and clove flavors that meld with the crispness of wheat and the sweet flavors of barley malt that shine above the mellow Hallertau hops. Presented here "mit Hefe" (with yeast) that should be roused as you pour the beer, bringing extra flavor and the hallmark hazy Hefeweizen appearance.

A cloudy effervescent hefeweizen bursting with bananas and caramel.

This Gordon Biersch creation applies Eisbock brewing techniques to a bock made primarily from malted wheat. Eisbock was produced using a technique created by a forgetful brewer from Kulmbach Brewery in Kulmbach, Germany, who accidentally left kegs of bock beer outside during the coldest days of winter. Our modern-day process involves freezing the water molecules out of the brew and removing the frozen portion, thus concentrating the alcohol and flavor of the resulting ale.
