The Brooklyn Brewery makes some excellent beers, and their Brooklyn Lager is no exception.
In their words:
Amber gold, with a malty body and a floral hop character, Brooklyn Lager is a revival of Brooklyn’s pre-Prohibition all malt beers. This is the brewery’s first and best selling beer. Brooklyn Lager is brewed only with malted barley, hops, water, and yeast…
It is a nice deep amber color and pours a nice sized head. I’d call the aroma more “earthy” than floral. It has a nice, meaty mouthfeel from the malt and you can certainly tell it has been dry-hopped.
I don’t know what kind of magic Brooklyn Brewery does with their distribution channel, but their beer always seems to be fresh at my local retailer. As you know, fresh beer is the best beer. (Well, except for free beer.)
As someone who builds websites for a living, I found their website really slick, though you’ll need to have the free Flash Player in order to enjoy it.
5.2% ABV.
This is some good beer. I mean, really good. It doesn’t get any better than this. Highly recommended.
As one who has been to their brewery many times, I gladly concur, that they make some mighty tasty beers in brooklyn. Oddly enough, the Brewery in brooklyn only makes kegs of the beer, with the bottles coming out of a contract brewer in Utica.
I’ve been to the Utica brewery. Their brewery seems to be a favorite for contract brewers, including Sam Adams. I haven’t been there in a while… I should make a visit next time I’m out that way to ask some newer questions.
