Brouwerij Lane

“It's a well-cultivated list with tastes, small and large drafts, and growlers available for all but the rarest of the rare.”

“But for spring/summer/fall, there's no place I'd rather be for a pint than BL's back patio.”

“Even if you're not here waiting to get into Paulie Gee's, Brouwerij Lane is a solid place to get hard to find and otherwise magical beers.”

  1. Hung out at Brouwerij Lane with a group of 5 while waiting (~2hrs) for dinner, and I can tell you the time definitely flew by here!

    They offer a great selection of beers on draft, all the staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable- they were able to make great recommendations for the varied tastes of everyone in our party. In addition to the beer on draft, they also had extensive bottle offerings. In terms of food, they did offer small snacks (pretzels?), but these had sold out prior to our 7:30pm arrival.

    I'd recommend stopping by Brouwerij to grab a beer or two (or three)! It's an excellent place to kill time while waiting for a reservation, but I'd also say it's worth the trip on its own.   Sidebar: I also loved their bathroom. Kegs of beer & some sweet StarWars wallpaper.

  2. I think I can call this my favorite place to buy beer in NYC.

    I went in, bought a growler, filled it up with Belgian brown ale, and took it home. When I'm done, I will return the growler, and fill it up again, or get a refund.

    This makes me so happy. Beer is so much better in 64 ounce units than in bottles.

    They have some geeky good beer here. It's like Europe.

    I shocked the guy with my pretty decent pronunciation of Dentergems Herfstbier. I'm not Dutch.

  3. Craft Beer Heaven

    They have a huge selection of craft beer that is constantly changing. Enjoy the beer there or get containers filled to go.

    They have tap, bottles, and cans.

    No mainstream beer hear, it's the Brooklyn way, jew kno?

  4. I can barely spell nor pronounce this place but this is an awesome joint. Fun spot in Greenpoint to do some beer tasting with friends. A cute and cozy bar.  The fireplace was such a nice touch. Keep our hiney warm from the freezing winter's night. This place was a big hit with our friends and we were able to score a table and enjoy trying more beers.  Great selection of beers to taste with low to high alcoholic percentages.  The staff was very informative and helpful.

  5. Great beers, a backyard, and sometimes food. Brouwerij Lane hits on all cylinders.

    True, it's not the biggest yard (especially when people are grilling hot dogs on a panini grill). And yes, it's awkward to stand around in the corner waiting for someone to be available to pour you a beer. But hey, this is beer we're talking about, not fine dining.

    Like most beer store/bar combinations, they have a rotating list of beers, ranging from local to imported specialties. Had a nice sour on tap.

    They also have kombucha so that's a thing.

    When I was there, they were grilling Fleishers wieners. I got the last one before the panini press broke and they had to pull out some sort of pancake griddle looking thing. But hey, good hot dog.

  6. Went into Brouwerij Lane on a Friday night to pick up a simple 6-pack for my husband and I to share (since it was reaching "freezing" cold status for us relocates southerners!

    The place itself was pretty busy, most people sitting at little tables enjoying their beer and conversation.

    We grabbed an empty carton and headed to the coolers. We picked from a varied selection of brews, mostly unfamiliar to me.

    The price of the beer was pretty steep to me ($25 for a 6-pack) but I suppose when you look at it, you can't buy six beers in a bar in NYC for that, at least not on a random Friday evening outside of Happy Hour.

    All in all, I will plan to return but also, given their space may venture out to another beer store for increased selection.

  7. While waiting for a table a few doors down, we grabbed beers at Brouwerij Lane to kill some time. The vibe is super casual and inviting. They have great selection of beers on tap as well as a cooler full of bottled and canned beer that you can either drink in house or take to go. When we were deciding what to order, there was a super knowledgeable employee standing nearby who offered his take on the beer, was able to explain yeast that was used in a particular beer and how it affected the taste, and offered to let me taste the beer before settling on it. We love finding a place where beer nerds feel right at home!

  8. loved this little hole in the wall.  you walk in and are met with a boatload of taps which you can easily fill a take home growler with if you feel like it.  it's pretty small which is nice for a pre-dinner drink with friends.

    in another note, i'm really upset i missed the star wars wallpaper in the bathroom.
