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. Wrote Michael Jackson in the Simon & Schuster Pocket Guide to Beer: "The dry-hopped, fresh, flowery, firm, flavourful, Brooklyn Lager started well, in 1988, and has gained in character since."

At Grand Lancy with Fred, since a long time that I didn't try this beer, made in Sweden. A regular one, a lager that it is dry and malty a bit smooth at the final, discreet note of toffee at the final, hop for classical lager, 31.03.21

Ive had a love hate realationship with Brooklyn lager. At first I really disliked this beer, too heavy and always just sits in my stomach. Now I’ve arrived at a detente, it’s ok, will drink if necessary.

Bottle shared at work. Copper pour, off-white head. A plrasantly sweet, malt-forward lager with a pretty apparent yet not too overwhelming hoppy character. The bottle wasn’t the freshest, but it was still quite alright.

Grassy aroma of biscuity malts, caramel, bready, light hoppy. Flavour is malty with a nice moderate hoppy bitterness in the finish. Not generally a fan of Lagers, but this one was just what I needed at the time.
