ROOFTOP GARDEN IN GOWANUS

Frieda Lim recently invited press and public to her incredible rooftop vegetable garden. Lim grows beets, eggplant, cucumbers, tomatoes and a host of herbs using a technique called “sub-irrigation agriculture.” The plants grow from a shallow tray of earth that is nourished by water wicking through a plastic tube from a plastic tub below. The veggies are delicious, and they were even better when paired with Brooklyn Lager and Pilsner, donated by The Brooklyn Brewery. “Sub-irrigation is a way for anyone to have a fresh box of vegetables for a $20 investment,” said Lim. Pictured above are Lim, at right, and from left, Barbara Kariya, Ellen Foote and Sabine Hrechdakian. Also attending was Rachel Wharton of Edible Brooklyn magazine.

Slideluck Potshow DC IV

Since the early days of 1988, The Brooklyn Brewery has striven to support the myriad of arts in New York City. When the brewery in Williamsburg opened up, we regularly hosted shows for neighborhood artists. Among many others, institutions like BAM, Brooklyn Museum and Dia Arts Foundation all receive financial and beer support from The Brewery. We are proud to support some of our favorite artists as Brooklyn Brewery’s distribution and the borough’s sphere of influence continue to grow throughout the country and the world.

One of our favorite homegrown art phenomenons is Casey Kelbaugh’s Slideluck Potshow. A combination photo exhibition and D.I.Y. feast, SLPS embodies so much of what Brooklyn Brewery values: community, collaboration, local arts and good, locally made food. We are thrilled to provide our beer for these art parties as they continue to grow and pop up around the globe. The most recent SLPS occurred in Washington D.C. to great acclaim. Check out the slideshow.
