Triple Crossing Beer - Downtown

An all-time staff favorite, our little pils makes a return in cans and on draft. As if gorgeously pale lager couldn’t possibly get any more approachable or enjoyable, here it is. Easy on the ABV, but heavy on the heart, this one leans into the Saphir hop varietal. We notice white floral blossom, ciabatta bread, fresh cut grass, raw clover honey like malt depth, and a cleansing minerality. An absolute staple around these parts, this beer always feels like home. 3.8% ABV

KOLSCHFEST RETURNS! And with it, 12oz 6-packs of these beauties. Brewed with 100% @epiphanycraftmalt, consisting of pils malt and a small portion of malted wheat. Hopped delicately in the kettle with German Saphir, lagered for weeks, and slowly carbonated without the use of a sintered stone for the utmost in fluffy meringue like head. The result is an effortlessly consumable beverage, with subtle fruity notes and an extremely clean drinkability. We detect dried strawberries, rose water, freshly rising bread dough with a touch of toasted bread crust, and a rollicking good time at the festival this beer was made for.

Brewed in the now forgotten early 00’s style of the Xtra Pale Ale, this collaboration with the Richmond Kickers straddles the line between pale ale and IPA with a balanced hop and house ale yeast derived melon candy and citrus oil hop. 

Our beloved Citra and Mosaic based alternate house IPA gets its own baby variant. Brewed with the same framework as the fully grown-up version, but with a much more sessionable ABV at 4.5%. We notice orange sherbet, guava, slight dankness, melon, and un-ripened orange hop character with a plush and fuller mouthfeel that belies the ABV. We can say for certain, that our production team was so preoccupied with whether or not they could brew this beer, that they didn't stop to think if they should… ultimately we’re glad they went for it. $15.00 per 6-pack of 12 oz cans with draft pours available at all locations.

At 4.5% ABV, the baby of our beloved flagship Falcon Smash returns to cans today. We notice impressions of tropical citrus, bright mandarin orange, and subtle hints of floral watermelon, all of which culminate with that signature Falcon orange-oil citrus marmalade. Entirely drinkable all day long.

Our flagship IPA. Dank hop character from dry hop of Falconer's Flight, and a proprietary blend of rotating hop varietals. Fermented with our house ale strain.

Our alternate flagship IPA, if we had more than one, takes shape for another go as a West Coast IPA. Brewed with the same grist and dry hop schedule, but with the focus on adjusting our water chemistry, kettle hopping, and the use of our favorite clean American Ale yeast, we wanted this one clean, bright, and crisp. To that end, we taste Citra derived bright floral orange, Mosaic derived impressions of tropical-almost-blueberry, and plush candied grapefruit zest. 6% ABV in 4pk cans and onsite pours at all locations.

From the initial cold call from Nick at Pollak Vineyards back in 2014 regarding used wine barrels, we've had a great collaborative relationship with the Pollak team. From aging our mixed fermentation beers in Red Wine barrels to using various varietals of grape pomace in our Floraison series, the Pollak crew has been a friend to the Triple Crossing team for almost our entire 10 years. In the fall of 2023, the Triple Crossing team visited our friends at Pollak Vineyards in Waynesboro, VA for a long-awaited collaboration. Weighing in at 8.6% ABV, Second Pressings La Boisson displays impressions of honeydew melon, ripe strawberry, light musk, green tea and a specific Aqua perfume. This style, and specifically this wine, are purpose built for consumption on these 70 degree spring days with a side of sharp cheddar and brie, if we do say so ourselves.
