Brooklyn L*ger
pleasantly surprised by this bottled l*ger. It has a nice malty character. Allegedly based on how the german immigrants brewed it when they came to the US. It's available in a few pubs now. I had it in the Windmill.
I like to keep a bottle of stimulant handy in case I see a snake, which I also keep handy.
Re: Brooklyn L*ger
It's a good beer. A tweaked Vienna Lager, brewed with American hops. Not quite in keeping with the brewing of American immigrants as it uses Cascade, which wasn't available before 1972.
I have a clone recipe, from the brewer, somewhere.

I recently had this in Giraffe (Cabot Circus). Nice little beer. I'd be interested to see the recipe, Ali.

Re: Brooklyn L*ger
I got the recipe from the man himself. Give me some time to translate it to something that makes sense for homebrewers....after the NYCHG party tonight....
I'll tell you now though:
Grist is:
2-row Pale
Munich
Caramel
Hops are:
Vanguard
Halertau Mittefruh
Cascade
Saphir
House yeast (running since the late '70s), but Wlp 800, 820 or 830 would do.
13 Plato (OG 1.052)
33 IBU
-----
More to follow....
