Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailWandering Pelican

The summer of 2013 introduced the city of Cleveland to a unique and rare visitor. A brown Pelican, usually found in Florida and other Gulf states, wandered north to vacation on Ohio's Lake Erie coast. Swapping saltwater fro fresh, feeding on shad instead of mullet, this welcome stranger made Lake Erie his home for several months and became an unlikely local celebrity. This dark ale honors our courageous friend who traveled off the beaten path to find his home. Wandering Pelican Black Ale is a hopped-up American Black Ale with a dark, roasted character balanced by a floral hop bitterness.
