Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailBeer

Malty, caramel-y, roasted, bitter…it’s not your momma’s Amber. Sing it with us: “She’s a brickhouse! This beer’s stacked and that’s a fact, ain’t holding nothin’ back!"

Our IPA, American styled, is a full bodied, copper ale with a backpack's worth of hops. Dry hopped and dry to the palate, it exhibits wonderful malt flavor, dry palate and big hop finish. Worthy of our Beer City's heritage.

An easy drinking Belgian-style ale, our Bridge Builder Blonde has a wheat flavored backbone from the malt, tempered with hints of clove, banana and pear. 5.9% ABVm, 23 IBUs. The name is an homage to the many immigrants who constructed the unique arched stone bridges all along the Blue Ridge Parkway.

British Crystal and Chocolate malts give this ale a medium body and rich, sweet aroma. Mount Hood hops add a spicy and floral nose. This smooth, malty brew is a Gold Medal winner.

This bright filtered ale (see, there is something in a name…) takes inspiration from both the new and old worlds of brewing. It may be a hybrid ale in origin, but we like to think of it as the creation of a truly Australian style ale. Using four gentle malts including Pale, Carapils, Munich and Vienna and whole hop flowers, this beer is clean, crisp and refreshingly balanced.

Malty, toasty and caramel

Some traditions are newer than others. Church Street is proud to present our take on the American IPA with this dry-hopped Yakima Valley tribute that's brimming with Cascade aroma, giving this tangerine-beauty a fruity and refreshing nose--don't be surprised if you find yourself sniffing more than sipping! Large quantities of late addition hops contribute to the high IBUs, creating a bold bitterness that's rounded out by notes of citrus and grapefruit with a slightly dry hoppy finish. Cheers!

Malty in character, this brown ale has a smooth body and a clean, well-rounded finish.

A very approachable, versatile Pale Ale, our 7 Sea’s version draws inspiration from the venerable traditions of proper British brewing. Brewed with generous amounts of imported Golden Promise malt, noble hop varieties, and a slightly warm fermentation, this ale displays aromas of fresh fruit, earthy hop notes, and a clean, snappy finish. Ah, nothing like a proper pint!

Immerse yourself in initial chocolate and coffee hit as the encapsulating roastiness takes hold. This renaissance beer is oak aged for complexity which adds rich vanilla into the mix before the dark fruits drill your senses into an orgy of untold pleasures.

A thick creamy head sits atop the opaque blackness of this Oatmeal stout. Roasted chocolate and coffee notes make this beer a great treat!

In days gone by, every English county had its parishes set aside for fools and the dull-witted and Hertfordshire was no exception. People at Wormley and Cheshunt called their neighbours at Stanstead Abbots ‘Soppy’ and is was known in the east of the county that people of Broxbourne were not only called ‘Badgers’ because the animals were seen going down to the river Bourne to drink or for the play on words (Brock being a badger), but also for their slow-moving ways. At Tring Brewery we would like to make it clear that we do not think the people of Wormley and Cheshunt are soppy and that we have observed many habitants of Broxbourne move really quite fast. A light brown quaffing ale with a hint of sweetness and caramel on the palate. Challenger hops impart a gentle bitterness, which is matched by a late hop aroma from Styrian Goldings.

Before the 1700's, Malting Barley was a hand-crafted, boutique process that produced inconsistent results. With the introduction of coke-fired kilns, Maltsters improved their control of the process to the point that light-colored or 'Pale' malts were now possible. These new products caught on in a big way, spawning new styles of beer including Porter, Mild, and Pale Ale. In England, the Pale Ale style was divided into several sub-styles including Extra Special Bitter, a classification typically reserved for Pale Ales brewed at over 4.8% ABV. Although Clandestine's 'Broken Bitters' checks in at around 5% ABV- putting it squarely in the strongest Bitter category- we think that it still qualifies as a 'Session Ale.' Well-hopped with the quintessential English partnership of East Kent Goldings and Fuggles, 'Broken Bitters' remains highly drinkable and refreshing. Based on a simple malt bill of Scottish floor-malted Golden Promise with a touch of Carastan, this is a beer brewed to style- clean & clear with a spicy, citrus hop aroma.

Not your standard hop bomb, Broken Oar is a refined IPA. English malt with a Cascade and Centennial dry hop offer an approachable IPA that's crisp and full of pine & citrus aroma.

Our Broken Red Ale begins with a light toffee & herbal hop notes. This beer has a malty, lightly sweetened personality that is smooth & easy on the palate. Subtle caramel aroma, topped with a cream-colored head.

This refreshing ale will quench your thirst and satisfy after a hard day of riding singletrack or slaving on the job. It is brewed with malted wheat, orange blossom honey, and a dose of coriander and orange peel. Light bodied and dry with a touch of honey sweetness and a floral bouquet, Broken Spoke is easy to drink and finishes light. 5.5 ABV

This deep amber, American-style pale ale is brewed with five different barley malts, generous additions of Cascade and Centennial hops, and a unique strain of yeast. The British, German and American malts used provide a blend of caramel, biscuit, and nutty malt flavors. The hops provide a gentle, pleasant bitterness with an intense floral and citrus aroma. It is dry-hopped, unfiltered and unpasteurized.

Easy drinking, loads of tropical hop flavor and a subtle tart finish. We brew this session IPA with two of our favorite hops (think mango, guava and passion fruit) and add red wheat malt to give it a crisp, tart finish. This is the beer we choose for Sunday Funday.

On the Big Piney, the perfect cast is under an overhanging branch or beside a bluff face. The perfect catch is a smallmouth bass that dances across the water, bronze back glinting in the sun. Our handcrafted pale ale could be the perfect end to that day.

This is the award-winning original American brown ale, first brewed as a holiday specialty, and now one of our most popular beers year-round. Northern English brown ales tend to be strong and dry, while southern English brown ales are milder and sweeter. Brooklyn Brown Ale combines the best of those classic styles and then adds an American accent in the form of a firm hop character and roasty palate. A blend of six malts, some of them roasted, give this beer its deep russet-brown color and complex malt flavor, fruity, smooth and rich, with a caramel, chocolate and coffee background. Generous late hopping brings forward a nice hop aroma to complete the picture. Brooklyn Brown Ale is full-flavored but retains a smoothness and easy drinkability that has made it one of the most popular dark beers in the Northeast.

Brooklyn Greenmarket Wheat Beer is brewed from 70% New York State-grown wheat and barley. Drinking this lovely beer helps reinvigorate the state’s grain industry and benefit GrowNYC’s mission to support family farms, farmers markets, gardens, recycling and education. Greenmarket Wheat is as bright and refreshing as a summer day. The Raw wheat gives this beer its zing, barley malt brings depth, and Belgian yeast lends complexity. Accented with orange peel, local honey and a dash of coriander, the beer is naturally carbonated by re-fermentation in handsome 750ml bottles. For now, Brooklyn Greenmarket Wheat is only sold in New York City. The beautiful, Milton Glaser-designed bottles are available at your locally-minded restaurants, bars and at some GrowNYC Greenmarkets around the city.

In Williamsburg, Brooklyn, we forge barley malt and hops from Germany, aromatic raw sugar from Mauritius and yeast from Belgium into our latest beer, Brooklyn Local 1. Behind the full golden color you’ll find an alluring aroma, a dynamic complex of flavors, Belgian flair, Brooklyn fortitude and a dusting of our special yeast. To create this beer, we use the old technique of 100% bottle re-fermentation, a practice now rare even in Europe. It gives this beer a palate of unusual depth. Enjoy it locally or globally, as an aperitif or with your favorite dishes.

As Brooklynites, we revere the memory of the 1955 World Champion Dodgers baseball team, so we had to name a beer in their honor. Brooklyn Pennant Ale is a honey-colored pale ale with a brisk malt palate and finely balanced hop character. Pennant is a traditional English-style pale ale. The pale ale style developed in the early 19th century, and was called “pale” because it appeared so in comparison to the darker ale styles of the day (East India Pale Ale was a stronger, paler, more bitter version of the style). Brooklyn Pennant Ale is brewed from Scottish Maris Otter malt, which is justly prized for its toasty, biscuity flavor and the round smoothness it imparts to beer. Our house ale yeast brings out an appetizing fruitiness and ferments to a dry finish. During 2005, Brooklyn Brewery will donate one dollar from every case of Pennant sold to the funding of the statue of Brooklyn Dodgers greats Jackie Robinson and Pee-Wee Reese planned for the Cyclones ballpark in Coney Island.

Scorcher IPA is a surprisingly sessionable IPA. A floral, piney aroma strikes first, followed by a burst of mouthwatering bitterness as the hops begin their attack. Suddenly, a hint of toasty malt and a clean, lively finish burst in to leave you thirsty for more. It’s ludicrously tasty, and at a reasonable 4.5%, it’s a beer you can come back to again and again. Try it with spicy foods, salads, grilled meats, cheddar, feta or just another Scorcher IPA.
