Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailBeer

Brewed in the early winter of 2013, primed and bottled in May, conditioned throughout the summer and Garded ever since! This is perhaps the finest example of Biere de Garde outside the continent. Brewed with Belgian and French malts, French hops and our house yeast this brew is full of malt flavor, with a slight sweetness and wonderful, lively carbonation. Coming up on almost 2 years old this brew is almost perfectly aged.

Name literally means, “Beer which has been kept or lagered.” No expense was spared in recreating this traditional artisanal ale from Northern France. To recreate this regional specialty, we imported all of the ingredients from the countries that birthed the style. The end result is a malt-forward amber with deep hints of caramel and candied apple. Eight different specialty malts come together to yield a magnificently complex malt profile. The French Strisselspalt hops used for aroma create a mildly spicy and floral bouquet. The unique yeast strain combined with warm fermentation and an extended cold-conditioning period produce a smooth and drinkable ale reminiscent of a lager but with full flavored ale fruitiness.

Biere de Garde means "beer to keep or to store." It is a farmhouse ale from the northeast and was brewed in the spring and enjoyed throughout the summer. Medium to full-bodied, a bit earthy, nice and malty, with a smooth finish. (7.0% abc) Silver Medal 2010 San Diego International Beer Competition

Inspired by our brewery puppy, Hops, Biere de Guard Dog seems sweet enough will a strong malt presence lead by Munich and Vienna malts. But at 7.3% ABV, it packs a bite. Just ask our delivery guy!

They say it takes a lot of good beer to make good wine, and there is an abundance of both in the Santa Ynez Valley. For this farmhouse ale, we teamed up with our neighbors at Margerum Wine Company to bring the best of both to the table. We brewed a pale, dry, spicy French-style table beer and then barreled it down in oak barrels with Margerum’s tropical, floral, bright Sauvignon Blanc. Perfect after a day of work in the hop- or vineyards!

The Saison (translated as “season”) is a drier pale ale known for high attenuation and a spicier yeast strain. Dating back to the 1800’s, the Saison originated in Wallonia, a French speaking region of southern Belgium. Traditionally brewed in the winter months, saisons would age until the summer when they were brought out for the farmhouse workers of the time who were allotted to imbibe up to five liters each workday as a way to combat dehydration when local water supplies were unfit for consumption. Slightly dry and with a hint of citrus, our saison’s complexion is subtle but distinctive and has quickly become one of our favorite session beers.
