Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailSouth Ridge Amber

Our second release in cans, South Ridge is an American amber ale, much like an American pale ale, but darker in color, with more caramel flavor, more body and slightly more balance between hop bitterness and malt. With its combination of smooth bitterness, malt, hop flavors and aromas and a slightly dry finish, it is an eminently drinkable beer. The label for South Ridge is a caricature of the ridge south of the brewery. The origin of the name "South Ridge" came from Wally, Kristy's late father, who was a famous Boulder golf coach (he coached Hale Irwin in high school). In those days, Wally used to bring his golfers up here and they practiced driving by hitting balls up the South Ridge - hence the "fairway." The label is purposely made using a little tongue-in-cheek because Wally was a guy who liked his students to enjoy learning. He liked to have fun. So do we. Here’s to you Wally.
