Brooklyn Brewery Moves into Midwestern Market
Our fave borough’s craft beers are now available in Budweiser territory: Reuters reports that Brooklyn Brewery recently expanded its sales into six midwestern and southern states. (A rep for the brewery told us it was actually just four in 2006: Indiana, Illinois, Alabama, and Michigan.) The brewery’s cold ones are now available in 18 states…
Our fave borough’s craft beers are now available in Budweiser territory: Reuters reports that Brooklyn Brewery recently expanded its sales into six midwestern and southern states. (A rep for the brewery told us it was actually just four in 2006: Indiana, Illinois, Alabama, and Michigan.) The brewery’s cold ones are now available in 18 states in all. It is also developing a new Belgian-style ale called Brooklyn Local 1, which goes on sale in March. Owner Steve Hindy, who got his start as a homebrewer, plans to expand into Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont next (though it strikes us as strange that he’s not there already).
What are your favorite local and not-so-local beers? Has anyone here tried home brewing?

Budweiser territory? F you. -Illinois
I’d rather see the local brewerys get the buisness than see Budwiser ads all over those 15 foot digi signs..
“Who the fu*k cares?”
I do….
“Brooklyn Brewery also supports the Atlantic Yards project.”
Who the fu*k cares?
Kelso from Greenpoint is coming up quick, however, i dont like the packaging of any of them, all the BK born brewerys should enlist local artists to come up with something as we used to say “fresh”
I think Brooklyn Lager is ok. But personally, I’m not a fan of the rest of their beers. I’m a northwest beer snob, though.
Sixpoint is pretty good. And Dogfish Head, from Delaware, is one of my favorites out here.
it’s Sixpoint. not points.
also, kelso is local to brooklyn.
Brooklyn Brewery also supports the Atlantic Yards project.
> best local brew is six points, bar none.
Six Points is perhaps one of the only local brews. Brooklyn Brewery brews the majority of their beers in Utica, NY.
I love Six Points Righteous Rye.
