With the sudden surge of beer gardens cropping up around the city and the recent success of the 2nd annual New York<\/a> Craft Beer Week, beer mania has officially taken over the Big Apple.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s bacon-flavored beer, beer pairings and even a 1,000-seat beer hall opening this fall. For hop lovers interested in sampling top-notch local beer, look no further than the Brooklyn<\/a> Brewery, creator of the famous Brooklyn Lager.<\/p>\n

Now celebrating its 21st year, the Brooklyn Brewery was founded by former Associated Press correspondent Steve Hindy \u2013 who learned to brew beer while working in the dry Middle East \u2013 and his business partner Tom Porter.<\/p>\n

Tapping into Brooklyn\u2019s rich brewing past \u2013 the borough was home to 48 breweries at the turn of the 20th century \u2013 the Brooklyn Brewery is now one of America\u2019s top 40 breweries<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Located in a former matzo ball factory in\u00a0Williamsburg,\u00a0the hipster neighborhood with convenient and original accommodations<\/a>, the Brooklyn Brewery is open to the public from noon \u2013 6:00 p.m. on weekends, offering free brewery tours every hour on the hour from 1:00 \u2013 4:00 p.m.\u00a0 While the \u201ctour\u201d isn\u2019t so much a tour as a history lesson that takes place in the industrial brewhouse, amid enormous vats of Brooklyn Brown Ale, it is interesting nonetheless. (One fun fact: the Brooklyn Brewery\u2019s logo was designed by Milton Glaser, the man behind the famous \u201cI love New York\u201d logo.)<\/p>\n

The brewery also hosts a Friday night Happy Hour from 6:00 \u2013 11:00 p.m. In addition to standards like the Brooklyn Lager, visitors can also sample some of the brewery\u2019s tasty seasonal microbrews, like the Oktoberfest Beer or Pumpkin Ale, for $4 a piece or 6 for $20, in the beer-drenched tasting room. For information on how to get to the brewery, visit the Brooklyn Brewery\u2019s website<\/a>.
