Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailBeer

The Inspiration for our small batch fruit ciders came from a brief stay in the Domfront area of Normandy. This particular area of France is renowned for its Pear and Apple Brandy or Cavardos. Many of the pear varieties have no names and are picked from trees that are over 200 years old; they are part of the history and rich culture of the area. Our fruit ciders are made with our own carefully selected apple cider which is back blended with natural fruit flavours, essences and juice. Our homage to Normandy.

The juices of plump pears are infused with our naturally occurring soft water, to create the perfect combination of a refreshingly light and fruity cider, with the punch of a strong pear taste. Kopparberg Pear Cider is deliciously thirst quenching and full of life.

Mix your own adventure this summer with PEAR GINGER BEER . Our latest Lips of Faith release updates the Victorian-era ginger beer with whimsical additions of pear and lemon peel, creating a zesty, invigorating summer sipper crafted for beer glasses and mixologists’ cocktail shakers alike. Warming, spicy ginger punctuates a lively wash of sunny lemon, pear and bready white wheat for a sip that starts sweet, but finishes with just the right amount of heat. Drink it straight, no chaser, or put a new spin on a classic gimlet—either way, shake it up this season with Pear Ginger Beer.

Beer is typically fermented in a very calculated, controlled manner with pure strains of brewers’ yeast. Our pear lambic beer is instead fermented by exposing it to the untamed yeasts and bacteria that are native to our Brewery. We affectionately call this unrestrained, wild amalgamation our House Funk. This blend is unique to Rivertown and this unusual, spontaneous process, involving over a year of fermentation in oak wine barrels and addition of pear purée, is what gives this beer its distinctive flavor; sweet, acidic, funky and vinous with a crisp, lingering, semi-sweet, floral aftertaste.

Typically considered Belgian Style Pale Ale that is highly carbonated with fruity and spicy characteristics. We added fresh Pears to give it a more rounded flavor.

Made from nothing but a blend of Bartlett and D’Anjou pear juice. This light perry is medium sweet and bursting with pear notes. Like all our ciders it is balanced and refreshing.

A balance of toasted malt and aggressive hop characteristics. In Beatnik Slang a Pearl diver is a person who washes dishes - "I'm just a pearl diver at a greasy spoon, but it's a job."

A gorgeous, easy-drinking Golden Ale where tropical fruit flavors come to the fore ahead of a subtle yet rewarding bitterness.

This bock version of our popular wheat beer has double the flavors of banana, clove and nutmeg.

If you’ve ever spent time in a German Beer Garden, you know how much they love their wheat beer. Our Bavarian style Hefeweizen is a satisfying blend of sweet wheat and pale malts, clove and banana aromatics, and the zesty tang of wheat beer yeast.

Our take on a perry, oak aged pear, fermented in secondary with ice cider and blended with our aromatic cask aged cider. Floral with a bright lemony characteristic and light body to get you merry for more perry.

This classic English-style Pale Ale has a sweet, fruity aroma, medium body and biscuit, toffee and caramel flavors. Finishes with a moderate hop bitterness.

American Brown Ale aged 3 months in Ardbeg 15 year Scotch Barrels.

A wee-heavy style scotch ale with rich caramel notes and a hint of smoke. This can definitely warm your spirit on a cold winter day. Released in December.

A rich American amber ale with a strong aroma and flavor of locally grown Texas pecans.

One of the house favorites. This light bodied brown ale features in-house roasted pecans, a slightly sweet finish and incredible drink-ability. We are sure you will go nuts for it.

We don’t blame you if you don’t believe us, but this beer was born in a dream. Sean arrived at the brewery one day, having woken from a dream where we brewed two beers. One was made with boiled peanuts, and the other with pecans. For logistical reasons, among others, we decided we had to make with ones with pecans. After sourcing 150 lbs of them, we split them up amongst ourselves, roasting every last nut in our respective home ovens. 5 pounds of those home-roasted pecans were added per barrel of this American brown ale, imparting a great nutty nose that presents itself more as the beer warms up. They set aside part of the latest batch in a Seagram's bourbon barrel for four months, and will be showing the result at Brewvival 2013. Here's to bourbon barrel wishes, and pecan dreams!

A stunningly smooth, nutty ale with a hint of caramel, orange, and floral aromas.
