Homebrew-to-Pro Tour: Greenpoint Edition
It often begins with a single batch of homebrewed beer. Your friends like drinking the double IPA, or the coffee stout. More beer is brewed. More accolades. "You should start a brewery," someone suggests, planting a seed inside your hobbyist head: Could this be a career?
Increasingly these days, the answer for New Yorkers is "yes." We're witnessing an unparalleled brewing boom, one that's flooding the city with loads of great beer. Today, we're going to celebrate the brewing bounty by taking a walking tour of two of Greenpoint's newest breweries--plus another trio of homebrewers who hope to open a brewery soon.
By and large, these spaces are rarely open to the public. But today, today we get to peek behind the brew kettles at Dirck the Norseman and Keg & Lantern, hearing how Chris Prout and PJ Allen made the leap to the big leagues. We'll also meet the Kings County Brewers Collective, a trio of homebrewers planning to go pro. There will be plenty of beer, from IPAs to Belgian-style table beers, hoppy amber ales, witbiers, sours and, heck, whatever the brewers will dream up in the next month.
Naturally, brewers will be on hand to tell their stories. It's going to be an excellent afternoon.
Your guide is Complete Beer Course author Joshua M. Bernstein.
