Hey everyone! Tonight I am opening up a bottle of Brooklyn Brewery's Brooklyn Local 1. Just today, Brooklyn Brewery announced that they are building a brewery in Stockholm, Sweden, in partnership with Carlsberg Sweden and D. Carnegie & Co. They are hoping to start brewing some brand new beers in the facility by the end of 2013. In my opinion, this will be the first of several announcements in 2013 of American breweries expanding overseas, and overseas breweries expanding to America (Brewdog anyone?). Brooklyn Local 1 Brooklyn Brewery Belgian-Style Strong Ale 9.0% ABV 26 IBUs Brooklyn Local 1 poured a yellow golden color, with a 3 finger width tall head. This is a great looking beer. I poured it into our brand new Golden Monkey tulip glass! Using a tulip glass will draw more of the beer aroma to your nose as you're drinking, and will hold the large head of a Belgian ale. In the nose, I get smell...
