kolner-beergarden-0809.jpgAfter much anticipation and slight delay, Fort Greene’s new beer garden opened on Saturday, reported The Local. Der Schwarze Kölner, as it’s known, started pouring its 18 beers on Saturday night; the Local reported also noted that bratwurst and German pretzels were available to help absorb the generous servings of beer. For the time being, though, beer garden is a slightly inaccurate description, as the outdoor space is still under construction. Anyone stop by for beer this weekend?

  1. Well, I guess “old” Brooklyn is gone for good.

    When you see post-collegians in summer skirts and yellow t-shirts coifing beers in a Fort Greene beer garden’s open plate-glass window, the borough’s moved beyond — even! — the hipster phase.

    It’s now in full Hanover/Ann Arbor/Palo Alto mode.

    The hipsters are dead. Long live post-collegians.

    Until the next “set” comes along. (Which is any day now.)
