In the late 1800s Brooklyn was one of the largest brewing centres in the United States, home to more than 45 breweries. Lager beer in the ' Vienna' style was one of the local favourites. Brooklyn Lager is amber-gold in colour & displays a firm malt centre supported by a refreshing bitterness & floral hop aroma. Caramel malts appear in the finish. The aromatic qualities of the beer are enhanced by 'dry-hopping', the centuries-old practice of steeping the beer with fresh hops as it undergoes a long, cold maturation. The result is a wonderfully flavourful beer, smooth, refreshing & very versatile with food.
