Brooklyn Lager…in cans!
Beer-a-Day #170
So, I was at my preferred retailer the other day, buying up another batch beer I’ve never had before, when I spotted something I never expected to see.
Cans of Brooklyn beer.
Get out! When did this happen?! Why wasn’t I informed?
Too bad the cans are black. You’d think they would have learned the lesson of Miller Genuine Draft in black cans.
So, while I’ve written about Brooklyn Lager before, I couldn’t not do it for the Beer-a-Day project.
Pretty amber color, off-white head. I don’t have a bottle to do a side-by-side comparison, but this sure is tasty. Brooklyn remains one of my favorite breweries.

I have taken a few timid steps toward cellaring some of my beer. Last January I had some Brooklyn Monster Ale and very specifically put aside a bottle to have…oh, about now. It’s been an awful temptation to see it back for just about all of 2009. This is a bottle from 2008.
Very pretty caramel [...]

Based on the satisfying malty ales of blustery Scotland, Brooklyn Winter Ale will have you looking on the bright side of things. Rich Scottish malts bring deep bready flavors to a beer with a full copper color, a round, smooth palate, and brisk hopping that pulls the sweet malts into balance. See – [...]

We use three mashes to brew each batch of this beer, achieving a luscious deep dark chocolate flavor through a blend of specially roasted malts. We brew it every year for the winter season. It is delicious when newly bottled, but also ages beautifully for years.
This is an old favorite. Dark as night, [...]

Perfectly balanced, this authentic version of a German helles-style lager satisfies gloriously. Lean, German malts and fine European hops offer subtle harmony.
Pale straw; white head. Odor is light with a bit of grain. Taste is light with some floral essence. A good session beer.

Our classic German lager has a perfect balance of caramel malt sweetness. Look for a rich, amber color and medium body.
Pale amber with an off-white head; small bubbles. Slight earthy and peppery aroma. A little toastiness in the taste.

This unique and exciting beer is a collaboration between brewmasters Hans-Peter Dresler of the Schneider Brewery and Garrett Oliver of The Brooklyn Brewery.
[It is] a pale weisse-bock fermented with the Schneider yeast, then robustly dry-hopped with a blend of Amarillo and Palisade hops.
Pale yellow with some chill haze. Citrusy-pineapple in the aroma. A little [...]

National Public Radio’s Weekend Edition Saturday has a piece on the success of craft beer in cans. This is especially true in Anchorage, Alaska, which recently stopped recycling glass, resulting in a surge of canned beer sales.

This light pilsner has the taste signature of a Beck’s, with a calorie count that’s as refreshing as the beer itself. You’ll find a crisp, light experience that lives up to the Beck’s name and reputation in every bottle. It’s taste you can count on, even if you’re not counting calories.
Oh my goodness, what [...]

Don’t let the deep copper color fool you. This isn’t the dark ale you’d expect. This is a special bottom-fermented lager that lives up to Beck’s quality standards. It gets it color from a unique roasting of the barley malt. It refreshes like the true lager beer it is.
And its rich, smooth taste with a [...]
