Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailBeer

“Cellar Beer” is a unique type of European beer which is not clarified or pasteurized and rarely found these days at all. The pronounced style originates from Franconia (a region of Southern Germany) dating as early as the Middle Ages. Our hand-crafted Kellerbier is bottom-fermented, traditionally prepared with only pure ingredients and lagered. The fresh direct mountain New York water maintains a perfect amount of minerals to compliment the sweetness of the premium grains and the bitterness from the noble hops. Together you have a well-balanced body of the Kellerbier ready to enjoy; just as those did for centuries since the Medieval Renaissance period. Pull out your Viking hats, Kellerbier is traditionally drunk out of earthenware mugs. The use of eating utensils may be optional with foods. This unfiltered amber lager maintains slightly nutty with hints of caramel, honey and plum flavors. Aromas of apple and citrus combine to give this beer a fruity, zesty freshness. Patiently lagered for four weeks, then filled without filtering gives the traditional cloudy appearance.

A rather old, rare, and unique German beer style, Kellerbiers are unfiltered and unpasteurized lagers that date back to at least the Middle Ages. The beer is matured, unbunged (beer is exposed), in deep vaults. The final product is a smooth, naturally cloudy beer that's rich in vitamins (from the yeast). Hop bitterness can be high and alcohol will vary. Zwickel Bier is similar to a Keller, but not as pronounced.

Named after Kelley Square right here in Worcester. This infamous traffic jam is named after WW1 veteran and local hero Cornelius Kelley. The Kolsch style is one of the lesser known German Ales. Made with 100% authentic ingredients including Kolsch yeast from our friends at Gardner Ale House. Light golden in color with light malt aroma, background fruitiness and hints of sulfur. Soft malt flavor is complimented by light fruitiness that is washed away with noble hop bitterness and a slightly dry finish. Very comparable to Pilsner or other European Lagers in most aspects.

Prior to the 1850's Scottish coastal alehouses brewed with malted barley, grown in fields fertilised by seaweed. This environment gave the barley a very specific flavour which we recreate by the inclusion of fresh seaweed in the mash tun. A rich dark chocolate ale, which has the aroma of a fresh Scottish sea breeze and a distinctive malty texture.

This is our pale that is bittered with locally grown hops.All the hops in this beer are grown in Clearlake at Hops-Meister. This brew is made with domestic pale ale malt, malted white wheat, munich and crystal 60 malt. Bitterness is achieved with Nugget at “First Wort”. Flavor and aroma hops are “Ivanhoe”, a California Cluster named after Ivan Lubich. Ivan is a long time Scotts Valley resident who discovered the rhizomes growing along a creek.

Es una cerveza intensa de sabor y color gracias a la combinación de 6 maltas. Al estilo de las cervezas belgas de abadía, encontramos toques dulces y de ésteres, matices de frutos secos y cierto retrogusto a alcohol muy bien acoplado. Sabores intensos a chocolate y caramelo envuelven todo el paladar. Sus 7,5º la hacen perfecta para degustar con calma y bien acompañado. Se recomienda una temperatura de servicio de 10º a 12º.

Strong golden ale estilo belga, con un toque de cilantro.

Below-average but drinkable IPA, cheaply priced (~$1/bottle), and available at Trader Joe's.

A 19th century-style ale, our Kennett Ale is brewed using English and German malts, brown sugar, esplette peppers, grains of paradise, and coriander. Its deep brown color and earthy aroma complement the sweet fruit flavors and slight peppery heat left on the tongue.

A Premium Bitter the color of burnished copper. Crystal malt and a Goldings-led hop blend bring into being flavors of peaches and plums, ending on a note of rich ruby port.

We kicked it up a notch with our Bolshevik Bastard Imperial Stout,aging it in Kentucky Bourbon barrels. The rich chocolate, coffee and dark fruit flavours from our Imperial Stout are married together with the vanilla, oak and warming alcohol from bourbon barrels. Together as one,the result is an incredible blend of aroma and taste. Drink it today, or cellar it to enjoy later as it matures. Cheers!

Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Blackberry Porter has been brewed with the official state fruit of Kentucky and aged in bourbon barrels. This spring seasonal comes out with the bold roasted malt flavors complemented by a nose of fresh blackberries.
