Top 10 Breweries in Brooklyn, New York (NY)
It seems like most folks have a grandmother, great-uncle or some other distant relative that used to live in Brooklyn, or perhaps a friend that lives there now. In the early 1900s, it was a mecca for immigrants arriving via Ellis Island. A hundred years later, young professionals and artists left pricey Manhattan digs for Brooklyn's cheaper and more expansive space. Neighborhoods like Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope, which had fallen into disrepair over the years, were restored and reborn as funky enclaves. Walk or bike over the historic Brooklyn Bridge (or ride the subway) to Brooklyn Heights for a stroll along the Promenade and breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline. Meander through Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens for a taste of nature in the urban wilds. Catch a performance at the world-famous Brooklyn Academy of Music. From the delicious Italian restaurants of Bensonhurst to the Irish bars that line the avenues of Bay Ridge, from the hotdogs and rollercoasters of Coney Island to the bagels and handball courts of Greenpoint, Brooklyn is a state of mind as well as a dynamic community. Discover why, no matter where people move on to, they remain Brooklynites at heart.

All good but none with the USP of a chandelier - remember to ask why....

My friends and I had a pleasant evening hanging out at Grimm brewery last weekend. The bartenders were all super friendly and seemed excited to provide their insight and guidance as to which beers we should try throughout the evening. Nice and relaxing atmosphere with a few things going on- a beer hall type seating area in the center, the bar is to the right, a brewery towards the back, a food vendor to the left, and an artsy display case where they sell t-shirts, some coozies, as well as larger sized cans/growlers for taking home. We ordered pretty much everything on the food menu amongst our group and it was all pretty tasty. The chicken shawarma was great, although some found it to be a bit spicy (I loved it). I look forward to visiting again next time were in the neighborhood.
