Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailBeer

Using a special dry hopping technique, we give our pilsner style ale a bouquet of hop flavors and aroma. A creamy head and silky smoothness enhances the floral, piney, slightly spicy hop notes without the usual bitterness. It may cause you to hop like a gnome!

ESB style (Extra Special Bitter), very balanced with a malty body and clean aromatic hop finish brewed with 2 Row Barley, Munich and two types of Crystal Malts. We use Columbus and Cascade hops for flavor and dry hopped using Cascade hops creating its fresh hoppy nose.

Non-traditional pilsner. A new twist on traditional pilsner. This hoppy lager brewed with malted and non malted wheat and three types of imported hops for a spicy hop kick.

The IPA style was developed by the British to enable beer to survive a long voyage by ship from Britain to the colonies in India to supply the troops during the late 1700s and early 1800s. Beer usually spoiled on the trip, so a higher alcohol content and additional hops were used as natural preservatives. Our version is the American style, using a higher hopping rate than the British style, and American hops that produce citrusy and herbal/floral aromas. Hops of Wrath is our flagship beer and a favorite staple at our Tap Room.

This Killer IPA earns its name by using six different types of hops while still remaining an aggressive well balanced beer. Hear ye, hear ye... All hopheads shall herewith rejoice! Terrapin hath recruited ye olde HOPSECUTIONER to execute the exact hop profile for this killer IPA. You may lose your Hophead over this one!

This is a "Hop" tribute, worthy of a King's Imperial Court! Enjoy the blast of fresh Tomahawk, Cascade and Centennial Hops as they stimulate the taste buds in a truly imperial fashion. Pucker Up!

This striking Citra hop IPA brings complex tropical and citrus aromas and a thirst-quenching flavor to the palate. With great head retention and clarity this well balanced yet aggressive India Pale Ale makes this a great choice for the “hop lover” in all of us! Cheers!

We won’t go as far as saying you’ll see things after partaking in a few, but one or two will leave you craving more. Ancient Egyptians stuffed their pillows with fresh hops, believing the hop’s aroma brought on intense, vivid dreams. Today, our classic, American-style India Pale Ale (IPA) features a rare hop grown exclusively on a small farm in Oregon. One taste and you’ll understand why we bought the entire crop. Our Hoptical Illusion IPA is brewed with a generous amount of this select hop that’s added five different ways for maximum hop flavor. The delicious, resiny, citrus-burst that you taste is the “Essence of the Hop” which is balanced by a malty backbone yielding an intense, golden ale. Hoptical Illusion tantalizes beer lovers’ taste-buds, while its colorful, psychedelic packaging is candy for the eyes.

Our flagship beer and winner of the August 2014 “Be a Brewer for a Day” competition. This Double IPA features a bright, citrus, and floral nose, followed by a mellow malt backbone and finishing with a strong hoppy bitterness. The maltiness in the middle makes this very drinkable and appealing to IPA and non-IPA drinkers.

The Hoptimist IPA is a hop showcase that spares no expense to impart a positive outlook to the most discerning hop heads. This glass-half-full IPA has notes of pungent citrus and earthy resins with an uplifting malt balance. 65 IBU, 7.5% ABV.

An American Double India Pale Ale that packs a punch when it comes to hops. The aroma and flavors will give you citrus and pine with a slight malt sweetness that finishes dry.

With 11 different hop editions and a malty foundation, this IPA unleashes bold flavor. The grassy, tangerine aroma leads into a bright mix of citrus and lemongrass, with a fleeting bitter finish.

Hopulent IPA is a big beer with lots of complex malt flavor and excessive hops. This beer will have changes to the grain bill and seasonal hop changes. The character of Hopulent IPA is over the top, too much of everything—a real HOP HEADS DELIGHT!

Blonde with copper reflections, topped with a generous head, Hopus derives from a secret batch brewed for the marriage of Paul Lefebvre. It has a unique and original nose, a blend of vegetal, citrus and fruit notes. The attack is bold, with an intense bitterness accompanied by a plethora of hopped notes. On the palate, the fruity top-fermented aromas and the malted flavours perfectly balance the initial taste without masking it. The bitter aftertaste is persistent but not disturbing, powerful but not overwhelming, elegant but not opulent…in short, the perfect preparation for the next mouthful. Drink very cold as an aperitif with crisps and pickles, as an accompaniment to a spicy dish or as an after-dinner digestive.

We're pretty sure HopWired is the first bottled new world India Pale Ale made with NZ grown pale ale malt and 100% unique NZ hops. We bet you'll find nothing else like it on the shelves. Although there's plenty of malty sweetness, this beer is all about the hops. But unlike an American IPA, which will mainly challenge you with grapefruity and pine-like flavours and aromas, the kiwi hops used in HopWired produce something more like a tropical punchbowl: Passion fruit, limes, oranges and Sauvignon Blanc grapes to name but a few. A local Marlborough winemaker even said it smelled like gooseberries... Gooseberries? When did you last actually smell a gooseberry?? Decide for yourself, or just enjoy it without further complication. Cheers!

Deep golden, medium bodied & nicely bitter, Hopyard Pale is exceptional in the West Coast style. Generous hopping in the boil & further dry-hopping produce a fruity/floral aroma & refreshingly bitter finish. A true thirst-quencher! Pairs very well with most hot and spicy dishes of Mexican, Indian, Thai and Cajun cuisine. Excellent with pub food such as nachos and hot wings (with hot sauces).

This American Double India Pale Ale, or IPA, is as big and bold as the mythical lone brewer himself. Legend has it that he first came up with this beer, with the help of his woodland friends, to fight against the long frigid winter nights endured by all of the pioneers of the Last Frontier. Hopothermia is a full-flavored representation of the Double IPA style with a robust malt body resting in easy harmony, like a massive grizzly bear in winter, with the big and drinkable American hop character.

Horizon Red Ale – an emerging American hybrid ale that crosses the boundaries of styles. This red-hued ale projects an intensity of complex hops – yet allows the drinker to experience the balance and character of the malt. Floral, dry, hoppy and satisfying. Beautifully dry hopped, Horizon Red Ale will be considered a classic.

Hornsby's Crisp Hard Cider has an elegant golden hue with the aroma and bouquet reminiscent of sweet apple juice. The taste has rich apple notes and a slight effervescence making a well balanced mouth feel with a little tanginess.

Horny Devil is our interpretation of a Belgian-style Golden Ale. Brewed with authentic Belgian ingredients including candi sugar and a Trappist yeast strain, its fruity and spicy aromas include notes of orange, banana, and peppercorns. Coriander seeds add refreshing citrus notes which meld seamlessly with the beer’s delicate malt. Horny Devil finishes with a lively carbonation and a refreshingly dry finish.

Our house beer is a Double Pale Ale. Maris Otter starts out our grist, followed by some Munich, Aromatic, and Light Crystal malts to round out the flavor. This beer is bittered with Magnum and Centennial, followed by late kettle additions of Cascade, Crystal and Styrian Golding hops, which adds a depth of flavor and complexity to this beer.

Super hoppy golden ale. Our Golden IPA's layers and layers of cascade hopping make this one heck of a crisp, bitter, big, golden brew that's perfect with BBQ and the flavors of summer.
