Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailBeer

The name “Felix” originated in Rome and is Latin for “happy, lucky, fruitful”; appropriate for a beer brewed to celebrate the wedding of our Assistant Brewer, Adam and his bride, Sarah. Brewed by the groom himself, Felix delivers a low ABV and a generous hop-profile (featuring Amarillo, El Dorado and Falconer’s Flight hops) to make a highly drinkable, hoppy pale ale. Congratulations Adam and Sarah!!

An English/American Hybrid double IPA. Amazingly smooth 100 IBUs of piney, earth, and citrusy hops and high octane 10% ABV. Felony IPA is an English / American Hybrid double IPA that features more European hops than American. Brewed in an English style to maintain a malt backbone and coming in at 10% ABV, 100 IBU’s and using 10 hop varieties to give it that American attitude Unlike those traditional IPA’s that hit you in the face with citrus, we prefer to sneak up on you with an amazingly smooth 100 IBUs of piney, earth, and citrusy hops and high octane 10% ABV. This translates into an experience that should be illegal. This beer is one of the few beers in the world whose base malt is Low-Lox, an anti-oxidation malt that provides superior shelf-life and flavor stability which we believe is of utmost importance when making IPA’s. Learn more about the Low-Lox malt that we use. We decided that although we love our West Coast brethren, we wanted to make our double IPA a bit differently. Our anti-reinheitsgebot perspective made this ‘illegal’ in our books so we made it the first of our Prison series. Originally a limited release beer it quickly became such a hit that we decided to make it available year round.

This sour ale has been fermented with raspberries. Medium bodied and red/brown in color, with a somewhat fruity nose. Sit back, relax, and enjoy with the hypnotic seduction of Femme Fatale!

Smoked IPA from Iceland (Beer Market Schaumburg)

A descendant of a domestic... but this one has gone a little wild!

As the name suggests, Fern Dark is dark, almost black in colour, and displays chocolate, coffee and caramel in both the aroma and flavour.

Our classic Kiwi style golden lager is extremely easy drinking. It has a delicate fruity aroma and a good balance of malt sweetness and bitterness.

Brewed in collaboration with our good friend Favio Garcia, we used 100% German malts & 100% German hops in this märzen-inspired fest lager that balances satisfying maltiness with floral, spicy hop presence.

Oktoberfest

In the days before refrigeration, brewing was difficult or impossible in the warm summer months, and March was the time a big brew was made as a supply for summer. This March or märzen beer was brewed to a fairly high gravity for protection against spoilage as it was stored away in cool cellars or caves. At the end of the summer, when the new brewing season began, any beer left in storage was ceremoniously consumed. The pouring of this special märzen coincided with the fall harvest festival, making for one big party. The traditional German märzen is a medium-strong, reddish amber lager, with a malty body and aroma, which has been lagered, or conditioned, an unusually long time. Our Fest Bier is offered in honor of the old ways. We brew it in the spring with German Pilsner and Vienna malts, hop it with German Hallertaus, and ferment at low temperatures with lager yeast from a monastery brewery near Munich. It ferments for weeks in our cellar, then it was moved to cold storage for further aging until its release in late summer.
