Brewed a lager, looking like an ale and tasting incredible. Brooklyn Lager is a dry hopped lager hailing from…you guesed it… that is dangerously close to the top of my summer beer list. As soon as you pour this beer you realise it’s no ordinary American lager. It pours a fantastic amber colour and almost immediatly you get a fresh citrussy floral nose. On the palate it is almost pale ale in character with a strong malty caramel presence but still manages to maintain the freshness and cleanness of a lager with a dry and refreshing finish. A triumph and on special in all stores now at €8.45 for a 6pack (35.5cl 12oz bottle). You won’t be disappointed!

Fantastic beer, and works brilliantly with every food I’ve put it next to.

Yep – have to say that it’s rare we get universal agreement in here on anything – but we got it on this beer. Stay tuned for some seasonal varieties to be added to the line-up.

I’ve never drunk this but I just want to say how wonderful it is that you have a category called Beer News.
Beer News should be on RTE1 at 6pm just after the Angelus. The ratings would be through the roof.
