Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailBeer

Originally brewed as a one-off batch, we soon realized we'd have to make more and it's become a year-round draft beer for us. We start it as a typical Extra Special Bitter (ESB), but ferment it with our Saison yeast. From the nose, you'd expect it to finish up sweet like many Belgian beers, but instead it stays dry and bitter.

Pale copper in color, but big in body and flavor with a heady hop character. The IPA uses spring water and snow melt from high in the Eagle Cap Wilderness. Terminal Gravity used over 50% Marris Otter pale ale malt imported from the British Isles for a tra

This amber colored ale is slightly spicy and nicely hoppy. A real crowd pleaser.

Cascade hops lend this American style pale ale its floral and spicy aroma. Crystal malt provides a light copper color and medium body.

The Earl Grey Brown is a Northern English Brown ale. Its slightly nutty aroma is sustained by a toasty malt backbone. Light in body , it finishes dry, and is laced with hints of bergamot.

Early Morning Stout was brewed with the “American stout” substyle in mind. It has a nice roast and chocolate aroma/flavor but also includes a significant amount of hops that are typically associated with our region. The resulting beer has a pronounced chocolaty roast flavor (slightly less than its counterpart Stuart) but also includes a nice hop aroma and flavor in the background. A smoother mouthfeel than Stuart, Early Morning stout has great flavors and not just a dominant roast character like its mountainBeer counterpart.

Earth & Flame was forged from the friendship of Victory Brewing Company and Earth – Bread + Brewery. With our shared passion for dark flavorful ales, we saw a great opportunity to collaborate on a Scotch-style ale. Savor the rich flavors that emerge from the dark depths of this limited edition brew. With hints of sweet winter desserts and dark fruits, peat smoked malts and fine bourbon barrel aging smooth the intensity of this complex ale.

“Sometimes, when you bring the thunder, you get lost in the storm. But a true champion, face to face in his darkest hour, will do whatever it takes to rise above.” -Kenny Powers Every now and then, a person realizes that it is high time to go back to one’s roots, find the familiar, re-connect with reality, and take things from there. That’s what a certain, ignominious, former Major League baseball player (with a rocket arm, by the way) had to do, and perhaps there’s some comfort in the realization that going home is an option for all of us. Legion customers are well familiar with our practice of keeping things close to home whenever possible, brewing with local ingredients every chance we get. Our reasoning: North Carolina is our home, and we love this place! We love its people, its climate, its farmers, its dirt, etc… Said another way, we aim to showcase the local terroir –the set of epigenetic qualities that impart agricultural characteristics unique to our area. That established, Legion’s brew staff may have outdone themselves with ‘Earthbound and Down’ (Sweet Potato Belgian Blonde, 7.3% ABV, 24 IBUs.) Cliff Claven, were he still on the airwaves, would undoubtedly point out a ‘little known fact’ that the Tarheel State leads the nation in sweet potato farming, providing over 38% of total U.S. production. Grown in North Carolina dirt, it’s harder to imagine any other crop being a better ambassador for our State’s terrior… Perfectly timed to match the cooling of the seasons, Earthbound and Down is packed with local sweet potatoes and cinnamon, sure to warm your heart and soul. Expect subtle Belgian complexity, honey-like sweetness, and a creamy mouthfeel. As you find yourself falling for Autumn, this specialty brew will illuminate your way back home…

Gold in colour, with big aromas of mango, flavours of pine, melon and hints of grapefruit. A clean, dry finish, accompanied by subtle sweetness from the barley, perfect for any session. Ease Up IPA is made using lager malt, oats, munich and cara fermented using a blend of American yeast strains and hopped with a star cast of Mosaic, Centennial, Simcoe, Galaxy, Goldings, Chinook and Amarillo.

Elevation 66's west coast style IPA. Golden-orange colored with a strong hop flavor. Well balanced with the malt and citrus hop notes, this beer is a joy for any IPA fan.

A maltier pale ale with large amounts of Columbus and Chinook hops. The citrus character of the hops are backed up by fruit esters from a Belgian yeast strain.
