On Monday, one of our brewers, Chris Basso, paired up some of our finest beers with delectable bacon selections from Zingerman’s. The beer and bacon event went down at Back Forty. Check out Metromix’s coverage and photos here.
And that means that we’re happy to be Americans. It also means that the brewery will be closed on July 4th. Be sure to pick up a six-pack of Summer Ale or a couple bottles of Sorachi Ace in advance.
ALSO, there are still tickets left for the funner than fun Pigout/Campout at Queens County Farm. Check it out. Goes down Friday, July 2nd.
Print Magazine held a party in honor of “20 Under 30: New Visual Artists 2010″, an exhibition that was on display at the Phaidon Store in New York City and featured the designers and artists who appeared in their April issue.
This company, BevShots, photographs alcoholic beverages with microscopes. They categorize them by style. The above image is of American Pale Ale. Kinda cool.

Like we weren’t going to do it again.
Our great friends over at Queens County Farm Museum (an actual operating farm in New York City) are teaming up with Dickson’s Farmstand Meats, The Cleaver Co. and The Green Table to throw one damn fine pre-Fourth of July party. Dickson’s will be roasting a pig that’s been raised on Brooklyn Brewery spent grain for a bona fide Circle of Life vibe*. And of course Brooklyn Brewery will be pumping out the beer all night long.
It all goes down Friday July 2nd – Saturday July 3rd. Details from Queens County Farm below.
Queens Farm is excited to announce its second annual Pig Roast Campout! It will be an outdoor feast, featuring Queens Farm pork and produce prepared by Jake Dickson and Gabe Ross of Dickson’s Farmstand Meats (www.dicksonsfarmstand.com), The Cleaver Co. and The Green Table (www.cleaverco.com). We invite you to eat, drink, and enjoy live music and late-night DJ, and then sleep under the stars in our apple orchard (please bring your own tent and camping supplies). Coffee and pastries will be served bright and early!

Brooklyn Brewery is happy to sponsor Slideluck Potshow (SLPS) here at home and around the world. SLPS is a NYC-based arts non-profit, operating in many cities globally, that aims to bring people together around food and art, and to give people an interesting, engaging, and fun platform for sharing art with their community.
One of our favorite southern soul food joints in the world, Egg, is launching the first of a series of Farm Dinners on Thursday, June 24th. What in heckfire is a Farm Dinner? Well this is how Egg ‘splains it:
This year, we’re beginning a series of farm dinners to showcase the produce we’re growing at our farm in Oak Hill, New York. We’ll host a dinner on the last Thursday of every month until the ground freezes over. Each dinner will feature the best vegetables and fruits we’ve got growing at the time. We’ll offer one seating and a fixed-price 3 or 4 course menu: all you have to do is make a reservation and show up.
The first dinner will be Thursday, June 24 at 7:00 p.m. and will use our lettuces, baby carrots and beets, and radishes, along with whatever else has sprung up by then. We’ll serve the vegetables along with local lamb. The price for this dinner will be $45, which includes flights of Brooklyn’s braggable big bottles: Brooklyn Local 1, Local 2, Sorachi Ace and, yep, Black Ops.

Well that certainly got us excited. But we wanted to know more. So we started pestering them over email for the menu. They haven’t finalized it but here are some idears they’ve been tossing around:
-amuse (chilled soup/pickled baby vegetables w. creme fraiche…)
-Lamb Sausage (merguez) with spoonbread (souffle style) and vegetables (depend on the farm availability, but probably chard with pickled chard stems, or maybe radishes)
-farro and farm greens salad, sliced lamb loin (cold)
- small portion midcourse: herb and baby greens salad with pulled rib meat and (maybe) one lamb chop
- Lamb “Country Captain” (lowcountry curry-style ragu) over fried grits (imagine a grilled polenta cake) with greens
- maybe a palate-cleanser type thing…gooseberry seltzer? might not happen
- dessert: either a chocolate dessert with cherries or a berry crumble with cream

TONIGHT, we’re teaming up with Edible for their competitive and delicious pub quiz, Edible Pursuit here at the brewery in July during Good Beer Month.
Here’s how Edible describes the beer, grub and prize filled evening:
“With fond memories of our first Edible Pursuit at Sheep Station still dancing in her head, Edible Brooklyn deputy editor Rachel Wharton—and recent James Beard Award winner—is hard at work assembling questions on Brooklyn beverage culture — plus beer, wine and spirits themselves — for wanna-be whizkids.
If that’s you, mark your calendars to hit the fine tasting room of the Brooklyn Brewery on July 8th for our next Edible Pursuit, where your knowledge of potables will be put to the test with help from a panel of Brooklyn’s best drinksmen and women: St. John Frizell (owner of Fort Defiance, spirits writer, drinksman), Garrett Oliver (Brooklyn Brewery brewmaster and beer royalty), and one more to come.
Teams of six or less will compete for mounds of prizes—from bottles of limited-edition beers to cookbooks, lovely coasters made from Brooklyn slate, artisanal pickles, restaurant gift certificates and other edible desirables—while fortifying their neurons with tasty morsels from The Meat Hook and Brooklyn Brewery suds made right on the premises.”
WHEN: July 8, from 8 to 10 p.m.
WHERE: Brooklyn Brewery, 79 N. 11th Street at Wythe Avenue in Williamsburg
HOW MUCH: $20 to play (which also buys you two beers and a delicious sausage from the link-masters at The Meat Hook)
GET TICKETS: Here.
