Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailBeer

A hybrid beer true to the English roots of India Pale Ale but fortified with American hop varieties Cascade, Centennial, and Willamette. The result is a thirst quenching pale ale just bursting with hop flavor without excessive bitterness.

A smooth stout with roasted coffee and bittersweet chocolate notes.

Brewed in the English style, this beer is hops forward. The malts bring a sweet biscuit note to support the blend of US and UK hops that include Goldings, Challenger, and Warrior.

A malty English ale. Some accolades include: Gold at GABF (Great American Beer Festival), and World Beer Cup. Our most current: Winner of 2010 First Place Gold, California State Competition.

A big American style India Pale Ale (IPA) with a deep orange color, and crisp citrus aroma. American malts and enormous hop additions give this beer a crisp flavor with a huge citrus aroma. Brewed with Chinook, Cascade, Centennial, and Simcoe hops. Iroquois Pale Ale is dedicated to the powerful and peaceful Iroquois Nation whose powerful presence, in the Adirondacks, shaped our country.

Built with lots of chocolate malt and black strap molasses to give this beer backbone. A hint of juniper blends nicely with the chocolate to become a new and unique flavor you can only find at the Alameda Brewhouse. The Porter stands up to the Artichoke, Spinach and Herb Dip as well as the Brewhouse Nachos.

India Session Ale... A brand new style from the twisted minds of 10 Barrel's brew crew. Deep gold with orange highlights. Big Citrusy aroma full of grapefruit and tangerine thanks to the massive dry hop! Clean, crisp malitness with a hint of sweetness. Pleasant, balanced bitterness as a reslult of the loaded late-kettle hop addition.

Ishmael is our richly-flavored American copper ale. This American interpretation of the altbiers of Düsseldorf is brewed with continental Munich malt, American-grown hops, and a clean-fermenting ale yeast to produce a slightly sweet and malty beer balanced by a firm bitterness.

A simply brewed American Island Ale (Island Ale) that is just what the "doctor” ordered for a hot day in the sun. The hop varieties will give o a fruity and citrusy character with flavor you won't forget. It's the perfect complement for a long day of island running. Paired perfectly with spicy foods and shellsh.

A refreshing wheat beer spiced with fresh ginger root. The process of making this wheat beer has been nicknamed "special ginger tea", due to the fact that we add over 20 lbs. of fresh ground ginger root into the boil. We use pale malt, and wheat, as well as Target and Whitbread Goldings Variation hops to flavor this light, summer ale. Island Ginger is particularly popular during the warmer summer months, though thanks to the ginger kick it has, it would also be warming in the cold winter months.

This full-bodied IPA features prominent Cascade and Centennial hop aromas and flavors for an assertive bitterness with a deep copper body.

Capital's Island Wheat Ale is classified as an American Wheat Ale style brew. Island Wheat captures all of the classical elements of this style, while adding its own twist to the mix. Wheat used in this brew is grown on Wisconsin's own Washington Island (off the tip of famous Door County). Lake Michigan creates a maritime climate on the Island, giving the wheat crop very unique characteristics that carry through to the personality of the beer. When you enjoy your first Island Wheat, you will notice that it has a hazy, golden hue and a dense, rocky head. This beer is one of those rare brews that a wide variety of beer drinkers will enjoy. Those that find lighter beer appealing will find the refreshing mildness to their liking. While those that enjoy a more robust brew will find the complexity of the wheats used more than satisfying.

Our Scottish Ale combines the flavor of seven types of malt along with three varieties of hops to create a rich, full-bodied brew. A touch of vanilla brings all these flavors together. Try it with our Gorgonzola Pear Salad or our Pork Chop!

Our extra IPA has a radiant straw orange glow with which we immerse massive quantities of hops per gallon for a bold, yet delicate hop flavor. Utilizing barley, wheat, and oats.

Our award winning American-style pale ale. Tons of Cascade hops give it moderate bitterness with great aroma and fresh hop flavor. A staff favorite.

An English-style of farmhouse cider that has always been popular on the farms of southern England. It was also known here in the states in the early 1800’s. While we are not an English-style cider we are definitely a Farmhouse Cider.

Deep golden in color, this lager balances Pilsner and Munich malt with aromatic American hops. This beer starts hoppy but finishes unexpectedly malty with very low bitterness. Impressively flavorful and drinkable, we dub this beer a “Session Lager.” Jabby Brau uses locally sourced ingredients.

“Jack D’Or” is a simple table beer, or “Saison Americain” as we’re referring to it. We are not trying to coin a beer style – we’re just having fun. The Jack D’Or (pronounced “Jack Door”), is at the very center of Pretty Things and nearly three years on we’re still pleased as punch that he joined us! As you know, PRETTY THINGS doesn’t brew “styles” per se. Close, but we re-imagine everything and leave the style numbers in books on the shelves where they belong. What that means is that while other people might be able to put our beers into a category, we have a hard time with it! Our beers are first and foremost creative beasts, not “types” of beer. Jack D’Or is the kind of beer Martha and Dann like to drink before, after and during a great meal. Heck, we’ll drink this sort of beer any time. On Dann & Martha’s honeymoon in France and Belgium they stashed quite a few cases of Wallonian beer into their trunk. Every night after setting up their tent they’d cook lardons and lentils on a camp stove and enjoy fresh “saison” under the stars. Inspired by some of our favorites like Saison DuPont, but also DeRanke’s XX Bitter, De Dolle’s Arabier, and local IPAs like Smuttynose, the Jack D’Or starts off with North American Pils, Vienna, Wheat and Malted Oats (among others) and is hopped with a combination of four hops, finishing with Palisade and Nugget. The bitterness is the real backbone of the Jack D’Or. It’s a proper “plant-like” bitterness with all of its jagged edges, beginning deep in the soil, then to the stem of this beer and up into to the very tippity heights. Fermentation-wise we use a blend of four yeast strains to give Jack D’Or its refreshingly dry character. Finally, despite all of the spicy flavours in this beer it contains no actual spices – only malt, oats, rye, sugar, hops and yeast. One more time: there are no spices or citrus in Jack D’Or. Wheat lends acidity at Jack’s edges, then rye and our blended yeast character come into play for a bit of polyphony, displeasing the notion of “balance” and creating the fire in the belly of Jack D’Or! The creature on the label is Jack D’Or himself, conceived and drawn by Dann. Far away in a small clearing in the woods of New England, ankle deep in the mash tun, he contemplates and conjures himself into a batch of beer. For those of you who are new to this, Jack is a grain of malted barley, but more than that: he is the unifying force behind all of the Pretty Things. Jack D’Or Must Die!

Hertfordshire’s best loved giant lived centuries ago in a wood in Weston near Stevenage. A highway robber by trade, Jack regularly passed the proceeds of his days endeavours to the poor and needy. But Jack was unpopular with the local tradesmen who banded together to rid themselves of the friendly giant. As he died he was granted one last request. He asked for his bow, which no one else could bend, be placed in his hand and where his arrow fell, there should he be buried. The arrow flew from Baldock and hit Weston Church over two miles away. There by the path leading to the church front door, they buried Jack O’Legs. The gravestone is still to be found. A combination of four types of malt and two types of aroma hop provide copper-coloured premium ale with full fruit and a distinctive hoppy bitterness.

Chances are good you know someone just like Jack Savage. He’s the kind of guy that always has a plow on his truck with a cooler in the back. If you want to hear a good fish story, or need somebody to run the barbecue, you bet he's your man. Brewed with all American hops, Jack Savage is a good time—gone great.

Hops are literally leaping out of this aggressive and magical deep golden brew. The aroma of Columbus, Crystal and Centennial hop varieties strikes you first with notes of evergreen and grapefruit before evolving into a snappy and sharp hop flavor. The finish is very dry and calls you back for more. Yes, there is some malt here too, but mainly in a supporting role. This is one for the hopheads. Cheers!

Cream Stout evolved from Irish Porters. Jackleg is smooth and as dark as the underground. The roasted coffee flavor and aroma come from chocolate and debittered black malts.
