Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailBeer

Rooted in Western pop culture, our porter is named for the film, Smoke Signals, and is also related to Sherman Alexie’s story, “This is What it Means to Say, ‘Phoenix, Arizona.’” Our smoked porter is very approachable; it’s not overly smoky and its blend of malts (Maris Otter, English Brown and chocolate) and hops (East Kent Golding, & Fuggle) will remind you of hikes, s’mores and cool, dusky campfires in the Snowies. Take a growler to the mountains and enjoy its rich color and flavor.

…meaning “Very Bad Things” in French… As the name suggests this beer is naughty. She creeps up on you and packs a punch, but the best part about her…she never talks back A Belgian Golden Ale brewed with California Golden raisins and Canadian Maple Syrup. Trappist yeast creates a strong phenolic aroma reminiscent of passion fruit, plums, and mangos. French and Czech hops add a complex flavor, while taking care not to obstruct the delicate phenols of the Belgian yeast. Drink up, but be careful, she’s a feisty one!

Ale brewed with pumpkin and spices.

Local Columbus coffee roaster Thunderkiss Coffee provides us with freshly roasted coffee beans which we infuse into our milk stout. The result is an amped-up, extra dimension of roastiness.

Our 100th batch, brewed for the enjoyment of the brewers, but popular demand forced us to release it commercially. This malty, yet light bodied ale has a massive hop bitterness. Most enjoyable in a comfortable chair in front of a roaring fire.

Clear light golden ale with a hint of orange and honey. Very nice.

This beer started its life as a brown ale that just wanted to be a bit more. Our farmer Rally, who picks up spent grains also happens to have a pretty thriving bee business. He transports his hives from state to state pollinating large crops for farms as far south as Georgia peach orchards and up north to Maine for Blueberry fields. Having just returned from a blueberry pollination in Maine and looking to sell off some of his honey we jumped on close to 200 lbs of this liquid gold and added it to the brown ale during secondary fermentation. Also added to the Disco funk tank was a blend of yeast, one a Belgian Saison Yeast and the other, our buddy Brettanomyces (aka Brett). This wild yeast strain adds that slight Belgian Funk to our tank and get’s the disco party started.

Northern Pacific Locomotive #10 was a coal fired tender that worked in the rail yards in Brainerd for decades, switching cars, hauling coal for the power plant, and other duties. After being retired, it stood as a fixture at Brainerd’s Lum Park for years during the 1980’s. It’s the locomotive featured in the picture on our website. By a remarkable coincidence, our hefewiezen ale is the 10th beer that we’ve brewed in our lineup. The German-style wheat beer yeast suspended in the beer adds hints of clove and banana, while the white malted wheat adds a grainy sweetness. Crisp, refreshing, with a dense, white head and light body make this a perfect summer beer.

This beer had a long weekend in our brew kettle allowing beer bugs (Pediococcus and Latcobacillus) to get down get down and do their sour thang. While yeast strains eat sugar and produce alcohol beer bugs eat sugar and produce acids. This gives sour beers their puckering power. After letting the bugs play in the sweet wort pool we boil the beer and add a touch of earthy hops. Disco Pig #2 Brett Golden Sour is 100% Brett fermented to replicate as closely as possible what a traditional Belgian wild fermented sour beer should be!

The Poblano Stout is not a chili beer. It is an Oatmeal Stout that has been dry hopped using roasted and de-seeded poblano peppers resulting in a wonderful smoky aroma with no heat.

Citrus and dark fruit characters come through in this well-balanced red ale, which features a caramel malt background to complement its slight bitterness.

5th anniversary Guava IPA with citra, cascade, and warrior hops.

A Nut Brown Ale with a biscuity/bready malt profile and a taste of caramel/chocolate specialty malts. Hops lend to the taste profile without overpowering.

SURLY NATION, 'TIS FOR THEE, SWEET BEER OF LIBERTY! Light gold in color, #Merica! is an old-school pre-Prohibition American Lager that was brewed in 2015 for the Annual D4th of July party put on by the Minneapolis-based punk band Dillinger Four. One of the only beer styles truly born in the U.S.A, pre-Prohibition American Lagers used corn as an integral part of the flavor profile, rather than as a simple substitute for barley malt. The flaked corn used in #Merica! comes across as a subtle, fresh corn flavor, while soft hop aromatics come from Warrior and Willamette hops, which add a mild fruity, herbal character that stays in the background. #Merica! is perfect for a hot summer day and celebrating the country’s birthday and 21 years of Dillinger Four.

Rye Tripel aged in red Wine Barrels

It’s all about Stylin’ and Profilin’. We’re talking about the Rolex wearin’, kiss stealin’, wheelin’ dealin’, limousine ridin’, jet flyin’ son of a gun. “You’ve got to make the assault on life itself! WOOOOO!”

Named in honor of the Trail Blazers' only NBA title, this American stout has a smooth, full body and rich dark-fruit flavor from Belgian Special B malt, with a mild roastiness. It finishes dry...unlike a champagne-spewed celebration.
