It’s about time we checked out the Brooklyn Brewery–proverbial backyard and all.
We went on a “tour” which, as the guide explained, was really more a matter of relocating into the one-room brew factory, listening to a brief history of the company (e.g. the logo is by the guy who created the “I heart NY” campaign!), and an explanation of the brewing process.
I started flirting with the prospect of home-brewing. But then the reality of no-extra-space, no-extra-cash, the inevitability of consuming way too much beer, and the possibility of getting way too into it took over.
Instead, I bought us some pints–Brown, Dark Matter, Weisse, and Blast. They were all delicious and we’re looking forward to trying their Belgian-style Local One next (it’s at home).
We had gone to Marlow & Daughters and bought some sliced prosciutto and soppressata–which felt oddly highbrow given the sticky floors and the slight tinge of college-kegger atmosphere, but they tasted great with the beers.

Oh I could really go for a beer right now.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today as now, I have found yours. I adore your photographs and can not wait to read more.
This sounds like a great local brewery, and I'll have to make a stop when I am in the neighborhood. I feel your pain, home brewery is great hobby – but not so much when you take into consideration cramped NY apts.
How cool! Another wonderful 'backyard' stop in Brooklyn is Sunday Suppers. Wish I could stop there. Alas we're in LA. Thanks for stopping into my blog. We are KCRW junkies! Love your photos. Croatia & Montenegro were nostalgic for my husband. He remembered the glossy stone streets.

Man, now I want a beer. Somehow, that does not seem appropriate for nine o'clock on a Thursday morning. Alas.
P.S. Gorgeous photos!
