Brooklyn Officially Kicks Off New Series

Brooklyn Brewery has officially kicked off a new series over the weekend – The Worshipful Company of Brewers.  It will feature special releases from members of the brewery team.  Each beer will be a brewery only release – with the potential of being added to the Brewmaster’s Reserve Series.

Ladies, gentlemen and ale lovers hark! The Worshipful Company of Brewers is upon us. The charter of this sanctified league dictates that each member of the Brooklyn Brewery brewing team will design and create a batch of his/her own draft-only beer, to be served exclusively at the Brewery Tasting Room until the last drop has been squeezed from the taps, and each with the possibility of blooming into a fully distributed Brewmaster’s Reserve.

The inaugural beer was created by Tom Villa (pictured above) a New York native.   His Belgian “session” beer Oishi is an approachable 3.9% ABV

BEER #1: Oishi

Style: Single-hop Belgian-inspired session ale
ABV: 3.9%
Notes: Envisioned as a table version of the popular Sorachi Ace, Oishi means “delicious” in Japanese

BREWER #1: Tom Villa, Lead Brewer
Born: Hyde Park, NY
Started at Brooklyn Brewery: 1998
