NPR’s “Tell Me More” was recently host to our venerable master brewer, who with him brought a few beers into the studio for the producers to taste on air and in their minds envision the awesomeness that is the interplay of holiday foods and the diverse flavors of ale.
Although we often have dinner on the brain, we tend to enjoy it a bit more on the plate aside a glass of good beer. And so it shall be this holiday season.
Well, not so much a “library” as a list of links, but welcome to the greatest hits of Brooklyn Brewery news and events, all wrapped into one convenient URL.

Brooklyn Paper gave the newly launched Smorgasbrewery a bit of love in a recent roundup (“Finally, food at the Brooklyn Brewery) and Bill Roundy did us a solid with an amazing illustration of our Tasting Room in action. Would you look at all the detail?! We’ve got Monster prowling for dropped morsels, the wall of cases behind the food vendors, Hollywood renowned Dan Bittner behind the bar, and even an accurate draft list.
German lifestyle and media outlet ON3 Südwild stopped by The Brewery a few weeks ago to talk shop with Steve Hindy and gain some insight into American craft beer culture (which has been known to both draw inspiration and use ingredients from Germany). Park Slope’s Bierkraft also shares their two cents about the increasing quantity and quality of beer in these united states.
After a few bumps in the road and the loss of our company email, I’m happy to welcome you to our brand new website. We’re live. And it’s working! There’s so much to click on it’s hard to know where to start. Well, the About section is pretty great. Check out our updated company history, gaze upon photos of our staff members and entertain yourself with dozens of Brooklyn Brewery videos. Or bop on over to our new and improved Brooklyn Bloggery for a veritable tidal wave of beer blogging goodness. There you can find beer and cheese pairings, events and posts written by a cat. Be sure to buy ALL your Christmas presents in our online store. And of course all the information on our beer that you could ever want can be found right here. Oh, and let’s not forget the many, many opportunities that we’ve given you to “like” us, just littered throughout this beautiful new internet site.
I’d be remiss if I didn’t thank our digital agency and neighbors, Blenderbox for their fantastic work here. I mean, Ruby on Rails already, guys!
Enjoy, learn, “surf” and do let us know if you’re having any trouble by emailing info@brooklynbrewery.com.

Here at Brooklyn Brewery, we love to talk about beer culture and events, and we’re flattered to find that others like to talk about Brooklyn Brewery. We also like to share:
Particularly as the holiday season approaches, the press is abuzz about The Oxford Companion to Beer.
Brooklyn BAMboozle makes headlines, and Draft Magazine sings that praises of The Concoction. Brooklyn Oktoberfest, Black Chocolate Stout, Local 2 and Sorachi Ace get some love as well.
Travel Channel and CNN feature the craft and business of brewing, and Good Morning America bathes in beer.
The word is out about our upcoming beer, film and food at Nitehawk Cinema , and Grub Street, Beer Advocate, Thrillist and Free Williamsburg, among others, share the news.
Brooklyn Brewery Exports continue to thrive, and Brazil, Canada and Spain say some kind words.
Confusion temporarily reigns over news that our warehouse building is being sold.
Steve tells his story, while Garrett gives a speech, sings the praises of nachos, and graces a cover or two:
Don’t worry, The Brooklyn Brewery is not going anywhere. Recent reports have indicated that our building has been sold, but it is only the building that houses our warehouse, situated across the street from the brewery and office space. Read a full report here from The Brooklyn Eagle, and sleep tight.
The Good Food Awards recognizes edible products that both honor social and environmental responsibility and celebrate flavor, “the kind that brings people together and builds strong, healthy communities. We are thrilled to have been considered for this unique award, and happy to announce that Brooklyn Local 2, our Belgian-inspired dark abbey ale, has placed as a 2012 finalist.
Cheers to good food, and good luck to all of the other delicious finalists!
We’re happy to announce that Draft Magazine seems to enjoy The Concoction, our second latest Brewmaster’s Reserve beer, just about as much as we do, naming it one of their Top 25 Beers of 2011.
In other Top 25 news, we’re happy to announce that people who like to read interesting things seem to enjoy The Oxford Companion to Beer, Garrett Oliver’s latest literary endeavor, just about as much as we do, as it is currently one of Amazon’s Top 25 Best Sellers.
Congratulations to the Brooklyn team, and writers across the globe, respectively, for drafting these beery successes.
Our Beer Soap was featured on “Good Morning America” bright and early this fine Friday. The show’s host, Lara Spencer, described this gift-friendly item as being “for the guy who doesn’t want to drink in the shower, but instead who wants to shower in the drink” (and then proceeded to show a clip of Kevin Costner not dancing with wolves, but drinking in the shower). Although those sentiments are not precisely endorsed by Brooklyn Brewery, we do all agree the beer soap is rather awesome. But nowhere near as awesome as Beyonce’s totally cute wedding gown, mind you.
