Brooklyn Brewery

Finally had the chance to visit the Brooklyn Brewery with the whole family.

We waited outside in a long line at first to get into the tasting room.
Then while we waited in the tasting room for our tour to start we sampled

• a Wheat
• a Pilsner
• a Half Ale
• a Black Chocolate Stout, I have had this in bottle before and like it better on tap.

Not all liked them all, but I thought they all were good.

 The Company logo was designed by Milton Glaser (the I heart NY guy) for stock in the company and free beer.
The tour covered 2 areas and provided an overview of the beer making process and some history about the founders

 Creating the wort and Fermentation/bottling

 They make a Cask conditioned ale, Brooklyn Best Bitter which is only served in the tasting room and sometimes at April Bloomfields's restaurants, The Spotted Pig and The Breslin. I didn't notice it on the Tasting Room Beer list, but could have missed it, they serve a large assortment of beers. I would have liked to try the Bitter.
Maybe we will go back because there is a longer tour on weekdays (M-Th) for which you need to make reservations.

Different sized fermenting vessels.

Special Bottling machine, one of just a few in the world.
