Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailBallantine Ale

One of the most historic beers in America, Ballantine Brewing Company was founded in 1840 in Newark, New Jersey. Ballantine is known for its iconic logo of three interlocking rings. The three rings stand for Purity, Body, Flavor, and were inspired by overlapping condensation rings left from beer glasses on a table. For much of the 1940s, 50s, and 60s, Ballantine was a primary sponsor of the New York Yankees, with team announcers designating Yankee home runs as "Ballantine Blasts." In more recent years, Ballantine has been mentioned by hip-hop artists including the Beastie Boys and GZA. Today, Ballantine still proudly displays its three interlocking rings and can be found throughout the Northeast.
