Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailIndependence Pass Ale

Independence Pass Ale is our super-hopped high altitude rendition of the classic India Pale Ale style. Independence Pass Ale utilizes insane amounts hops. Specifically, we use Columbus, Cascade, and Simcoe and Falconer's Flight hops. Set in contrast with our secret mash recipe, be prepared to be wowed. Independence Pass marks the eastern boundary of the Roaring Fork Valley and the City of Aspen. With a summit elevation of 12,095 feet, we HIGHLY recommend that the inexperienced beer drinker is EXTREMELY careful drinking this high-alcohol brew at such altitude. You wouldn’t want to fall down the pass! We couldn’t help but name our high-hop beer after this high-elevation pass—maybe due to the combined delirious effect, or maybe because the initials worked out well.
