Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailBeer

Dover became the state capital in 1792. The milk stout, also known as sweet stout, breakfast stout, cream stout (all the same style) gets its name mostly from the addition of lactose, which is an unfermentable sugar derived from milk. Because this type of sugar is unfermentable, its smooth mellow sweetness stays in the beer. This beer is a sweeter style stout, which includes some chocolate and coffee like roasted barley flavors. Very smooth and creamy with low-medium bitterness and balanced hop flavor and aroma.

This year’s anni ale has everything in it but the pitch fork and a bale of hay. With over two months of fermentation and cellaring time, this saison plows the field as it harvests spicy farmhouse overtones from its primary Fraunch saison yeast. That funky monkey delivers a strapping alc 9 % by vol, seeding a perfect foundation for secondary Brettanomyces fermentation, which hoes a cornucopia of tart and effervescent flavors. Distinct citrus notes from the finishing hops cultivate a naturally freaky fresh palate tweaker. Here’s to the next 17 trips around that burning ball in the sky!

Historically inspired, 1803 Fat Ox Ale is craft-brewed using old wold traditions and ingredients brought to New York by early settlers. Toasted malt and carmel notes highlight this complex, small batch brew.

Our imagined homage to an early 19th century porter brewed & blended by the Washington Brewery (located in DC's Navy Yard from 1805 -1836); this porter is a blend of 3 brews, each also inspired by historic offerings from the Washington Brewery, and each brewed from the same base recipe, but to varying strengths: 25% #1 - Strong Ale (6.7% abv; finished with brettanomyces), 37.5% #2 - x ale (8.5% abv),37.5% #3 - Table Beer (2.6% abv; soured with lactobacillus); crafted with traditional ingredients (Thomas Fawcett amber malt & molasses), classic American-grown cluster hops & Virginia-grown wheat; brewed in collaboration with local beer historian Michael Stein.

Our Black Lager aged in Chattanooga whisky barrels.

1824 is a Belgian Dark Strong. It is a rich, malt-forward ale with notes of raisins, dark fruit, and a hit of spice.

1837 is a blonde beer that is slightly cloudy. It contains 7% alcohol and is refermented in the bottle. Following the brewing tradition of the great abbey beers, it is made with a blend of Quebec-grown raw wheat, lightly roasted barley and a hint of spices. It is a truly refreshing beer.

A dry, bitter, Irish dark ale brewed with malted rye and hopped with Columbus. Extremely dry and roasty. Delicious!

Stephen Fraley was discussing the Civil War when men rode their horses in with a grudge. As his two comrades scattered and were shot, Fraley evaded his assailants by running inside and hiding under his wife's large hoop dress. In honor of his successful running to hide, we brew a traditional London style Porter with chocolate and berry notes from Brown malt and light oak and leather notes from East Kent Golding hops.

A true British-style Ale, this beer exhibits toasty and dark chocolate flavors along with a light hop profile. We use traditional British malt and hops with our house ale yeast to produce this version of a robust porter that features a pleasant, chocolatey aroma, and toasty flavor notes in an all-around well balanced porter.

Ghost River 1887 IPA commemorates the first year that the famous Memphis Sands Aquifer was tapped. Now over 100 years later, Ghost River Brewing has turned Memphis’ water into an aggressively hopped beer IPA (India Pale Ale) using the bold assertive flavors of American varietal hops.

Our 1890 I.P.A. starts with a clear, golden amber color. The medium bodied ale gives huge floral and grapefruit aromas. The 1890 I.P.A. is well hopped with carefully selected varieties giving it big citrus-hop character without being crushingly bitter. 56 IBU / 6.7% ABV

Part of the brewer’s Crown Series, the 18th Anniversary Ale is a double IPA

Bière de Garde with HoshiGaki persimmon added

18th Anniversary Wood Aged Double IPA is a copper-hued treat in celebration of everything Great Divide does best. Plenty of malty sweetness provides a backdrop for earthy, floral English and American hops, while French and American oak round off the edges and provide a touch of vanilla. Thanks to everyone who’s supported us for the last 18 years—here’s to 18 more!

Our 19th anniversary beer brings the boom, delivering it to the palate in a voluminous, hop-driven thunderclap backed by the power of our brewing passion and intensity. This double IPA owes its considerable oomph to a quartet of Australian hops—Topaz and Galaxy, plus newcomers Ella and Vic Secret. We also had Fairview malt shipped in from Australia just for this brew. The beer's striking tropical fruit, citrus and peach hop flavors and slightly resinous and aromatically dank earthiness are sure to electrify your senses. We have many special beers planned for release to celebrate our 20 years of brewing, so let this serve as the first course to what will be an undoubtedly epic feast for craft beer enthusiasts, with particular thanks to those who've been with us for the long haul and helped us attain such longevity. Consider this the first of many Thank-Yous...for years to come!
