Our Tasting Flight of Crawford Brews

OKTOBERFEST: Festbier - the modern German beer style served at Oktoberfest. A smooth, clean, pale lager with a strong malty flavor and a light hop character.  Deftly balanced to making drinking liters throughout the entire fest almost possible. 6.4%abv.  21 IBUs.

KINDA KOLSCH’ISH: A crisp, refreshing German Style beer. Pleasant Pilsner and Vienna malts balanced with Mandarina Bavaria hops for a citrus character. In the tradition of Kolsch, you’ll want to drink this all day long! 5.4 ABV, 24 IBU’s

GET OFF MY LAWN IPA: A well balanced IPA with a solid malt backbone. Cascade, Centennial, Chinook, and Columbus hops add a refreshing citrus character and solid bitterness without wrecking your palette. You’ll want more than one! 7.2 ABV, 62 IBU’s

FRENCH QUARTER STOUT: A rye stout with dark bitter chocolate notes, fresh ground coffee from our good friends at The Coffee Hound and some chickory to give it that 'Nawlins flair. 7.8% abv. Laissez le bon temps rouler! (Let the good times roll!)

PEDAL YOUR ASS OFF PORTER: A big, bold Porter with dark bitter chocolate and molasses notes with a hint of vanilla. This one goes down a little too easy, so watch yourself! 8.6 ABV, 37 IBU’s
