Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailGelande Amber Lager

The Gelande (ga-lun-day) Amber Lager is brewed with the finest specialty malts, noble hops and a cold fermenting yeast to produce a malty beer that finishes dry on the palate. A delicious winter seasonal beer! Derived from the Germanic word “Gelandesprung” meaning “terrain-jump,” this sport was established in the United States by Utah ski pioneers. Alf Engen, ski enthusiast extraordinaire, orchestrated the first Gelandesprung contest in 1964 at Alta, Utah. It varies a little from today’s Nordic jumping in that ski jumpers use standard alpine gear with fixed heels and go into a pike position. Gelande Amber Lager is as unique as its namesake sport. TASTING NOTES: Honey and caramel undercurrents. Vanilla accents. Malty with light and hoppy notes. Finishes dry. Gelande would pair well with earthy mushroom bisque, grilled lamb or pork, and even mussels and clams.
