Brooklyn Lager, the Brewery's flagship label, is New York's 'hometown' beer, brewed to a pre-prohibition recipe that dates back to the days when Brooklyn was the brewing capital of the East Coast. Brooklyn Lager has won numerous awards. Wrote Michael Jackson in the Simon & Schuster Pocket Guide to Beer: ' The dry-hopped, fresh, flowery, firm, flavourful, Brooklyn Lager, started well, in 1988, & has gained in character since.' World Classic brew! The aroma is malty & sweet. When poured, releasing a nice orangy copper lager with a big white long lasting head & lots of lacing. The taste is more like an IPA than a lager which is clean, crisp & refreshing.
