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
Pairing: Oishi will pair excellently with sushi and curries
Available: Fri, March 23 until it’s gone!
BREWER #1: Tom Villa, Lead Brewer
