From The Brewmaster

Ever since we first produced it as a Brewmaster's Reserve beer two years ago, we've always been sad when we were about to run out of Brooklyn Sorachi Ace . A bottle-conditioned saison brewed with the unique Japanese-derived hop variety of the same name, it's been one of our favorite beers we've made. We're pleased to announce that Brooklyn Sorachi Ace won't be going away again - it's a permanent part of the Brooklyn family. Time to pop some corks! [photo by Kelly Neal]

Up For Grabs

To demonstrate our appreciation of graciously allowing us to invade your inbox once a month, we give stuff away. Nothing could be more fitting at the moment than our new Summer Ale Beach Towels. Grab yourself a 12-pack of Summer Ale cans and find some water while the weather is fine.

Q: What 3 items were stolen from our warehouse in 1989? [hint: consult your copy of Beer School] To win a Summer Ale Beach Towel, be the first to email the answer to freebie@brooklynbrewery.com
