Brooklyn Brewery
Brooklyn Brewery was started in 1987 by former Associated Press correspondent Steve Hindy and former Chemical Bank lending officer Tom Potter. Hindy learned to brew beer during a six-year stay in various Middle Eastern nations such as Saudi Arabia and Syria, where possession and consumption of alcoholic beverages were forbidden. Upon his return to his home to Brooklyn in 1984, he and Potter, his downstairs neighbor, quit their jobs and founded the brewery.Visit Brooklyn Brewery

Brooklyn Lager
This beer has a rich, malty mouth-feel and the coffee flavors are balanced with a hoppy effervescence. It is similar to English-style lagers, but with less of a metallic aftertaste. This makes it less abrasive and more drinkable. This brew has class written all over it from packaging to the beer itself. It is simple yet sophisticated so if you are looking to drink a few leisurely beers reach for this lager from Brooklyn. ABV 5.2%
Brooklyn Brown Ale
Brooklyn Brown Ale combines the best of those classic styles and then adds an American accent in the form of a firm hop character and roast palate. A blend of six malts, some of them roasted, give this beer its deep russet-brown color and complex malt flavor, fruity, smooth and rich, with a caramel, chocolate and coffee background. Brooklyn Brown Ale is full-flavored but retains a smoothness and easy drinkability that has made it one of the most popular dark beers in the Northeast. ABV 5.6%
