Coney Island Craft Lagers by Shmaltz Brewing Company (self proclaimed world’s smallest brewery) which donates proceeds to help nonprofit Coney Island USA set up shop recently and has many beers available at the Freak Bar. Kelso of Brooklyn, makes a chocolate lager, is brewed just north of Park Slope and is available in many Brooklyn establishments. Sixpoint Craft Ales Brewery and small bar is in Red Hook and has malt with an orange flavor. Brooklyn Brewery is out of Williamsburg with its Brooklyn Lager which is widely available. This Brewery has happy hours, tours and samplings. So which is your favorite…. hopefully your not boring and just prefer ….to Grab a Heine!

    Okay, I know I am going to sound like a traitor, and that’s probably only because it’s true, but my all time favorite beer is “Dark Island Beer.” I believe it is imported from Scotland. I find it to be smooth and not at all bitter, and I like that in a beer.

    But just to show that I am not a total traitor, I also occasionally will stop and have a beer at The Park Slope Ale House, near where I live. The atmosphere is not at all bar-like. In fact, it’s more family oriented and a bit sedate, and I like that. I generally tend to stay away from the bar scene. The typical bar scene is not my scene.

    Yes, usually I like to grab my heine. But other of these places sound like they make interesting brews.

    Brooklyn needs a good local stout. None of that pansy ass chocolate or oatmeal stout, the real Irish stuff.
    I drink a good pint of Guinness and an hour later piss Budweiser.

    Brooklyn was once the beer capital of the world. In some sections there was at least one brewery on every block. Brooklyn had about 60 breweries in 1900. Eventually, there was only Rheingold and Schaeffer. These two died, shortly after I was old enough to drink.

    I have a bit of curiosity about these newer Brooklyn brands but worry that they are being made for “changing” tastes. Nothing resembles Rheingold, Schaeffer or Ballantine of old.

    I’ll stick to open bars and light beers for me! Go Yankees!
