LocallectualJune 25, 2012Local beer heaven in Park Slope! We had a growler of Carton Brewing's Boat Beer (Atlantic Highlands, NJ) and ogled the endless American craft beers. Gourmet food w/ local desserts, cheeses, and meats! Read more
Cooper SmithJune 17, 2012Spend the afternoon / evening on the back patio with growlers of an amazing selection of beers on tap that you won't find anywhere else in NYC. If you're hungry, you can't go wrong with any sandwich
The Corcoran GroupApril 23, 2010Easily the best craft beer shop in the city. HUGE selection of beers from around the country that you can’t find anywhere else. Buy a growler for tap fresh beer and the sandwiches are good too.
If you like your sandwiches rustic, French-ish and delicious, with a side of delicious on-tap beers, Bierkraft is for you. Tiny but cute backyard is a plus, too!
RyApril 13, 2014On a Saturday night, get there around 8:30 to grab a back patio table before the place fills up at 9. Once you're in, beer options are the best in town: e.g. gluten free, craft, Newcastle for $2.75 :D
Serious EatsNovember 3, 2011The Italiano: prosciutto di Parma, hot sopressata, deliciously fatty-edged ham roasted in-house, "Petit Jesu" salami, and a shower of Pecorino Sardo with fresh arugula, roasted peppers, and tomato. Read more
Lyndsey MNovember 2, 2014My favorite thing to get is avocado, goat cheese with honey, and arugula on a giant baguette. Not so expensive when you consider it's two meals. (If you're me, though, it's never two meals.)
every kind of beer you could want. and the sandwiches are amazing. get the roast beef and add roasted red peppers. nice back patio and free beer tastings on tuesdays.
It's all kinds of 'frat-party'-chic in here. But oh soo good. Take your palate on a wild adventure. It's one of Park Slope's finest.
Great selection of rare/imported beers. The Serrano ham sandwich is, arguably, the best sandwich I've had in my life. A growler is half a gallon and costs between $13-17. Oh yes.
If you like an amazing variety of craft beers, including their own home brewed beers, ice cream sandwiches and a good backyard, go to Bierkraft.
Excellent rotating craft beer selection. Pretty much every sandwich on the menu is great- try the Serrano ham or roast beef for starters.
Best Ham & Cheese sandwich along with Zapps chips.. you cant go wrong. Awesome rotating taps. Huge beer selection.
Always good draft choices and tons of craft beer in the coolers. Always get the spiced pastrami brisket. Tuesday nights are free beer tastings.
Alexander HooglandJune 26, 2013Superlative service; lovely outdoor patio with great music; large selection of house-cured meats and beers, including two rotating cask ales.
CompassMay 20, 2014Artisanal sandwiches and charcuterie plates are the perfect compliment to weekly beer tastings, gift baskets, and limited edition local brews.- The Corcoran GroupAugust 18, 2011Vanilla Chocolate Chunk Gelato: Come for the vast selection of Brooklyn craft biers, but leave with these fantastic gelato sandwiches.
Brew YorkAugust 3, 2011Have a pint or two of craft beer to stay, then take a growler to go! Great bottle selection, too. On a nice day, enjoy your brews out in their backyard!
Design*SpongeMarch 27, 2011I'm not a huge beer drinker, but I am a big sweet-eater and the ice cream sandwiches they stock are out of this world. Grab one of those and a bag of spicy creole chips and you've got yourself the bes
First We FeastAugust 3, 2014The garden is a mecca for Kings County beer nerds, who gather around picnic tables under giant umbrellas. Read more
Best brooklyn beer collection bar none PLUS you must get a growler or two of the always changing taps & casks. Annnnnd da sammiches are DOPE too. Win win win!
Stephen CalebroJuly 18, 2011Pricier than Brooklyn's other beer stores, but worth it because you can actually drink the beers you buy on location. The heavy guy working the tap counter needs to chill the fuck out though. No need Read more
AnnieDecember 23, 2010Grab a few of the sea salted caramels from the jar on the counter, but beware, they are highly addictive. Get of the sandwich specials or the meatloaf to go with a local craft beer. This place rules.
Beer Club New JerseyDecember 21, 2010One of the sickest liquor stores in the BK with a crazy deuce & singles selection and several seasonal taps for growler fill. Sixpoint Brewery even does custom batches for store all the time!
Margot MazurDecember 31, 2014Amazing selection and a friendly knowledgeable staff. Get growlers filled and drink samples.
Enebish Bat-OchirOctober 5, 2013Coolest place in park slope if you love craft beer and tasty sandwich. So so many choices
Shiralee LewinAugust 24, 2014Do yourself a favor and get the Serrano sandwich + bag of Zapps chips. Free beer tastings on Tuesday nights!
eric mortensenAugust 10, 2013Great beer selection. Clean lines. Clean glasses. Succeeds at the basics where so many other beer enthusiast venues fail.
Helena WongFebruary 20, 2014Not my usual sandwich pick but the Roast Beef rocked! The Serano was good but the fig spread was overpowering. Huge portion. And...Zapps chips!
#protip last weekend of each month they serve a meatball sammy that will blow you away. better than meatball shop.
Ice creme sandwiches are amazing! The beer selection is amazing! The staff is amazing! The owner is amazing!
L BApril 15, 2014don't leave without the gelato sandwiches made from Il Laboratorio gelato and Bierkraft's own fudgy chocolate brownies.
Oh no! New bread, smaller sandwiches, turkey is no longer the great roasted and pulled fresh kind... Downgrade? :-O hopefully just temporary...- Serious EatsAugust 24, 2011Serrano Ham and Manchego: Salty, sweet, spicy, bitter—this Serrano and Manchego sandwich from beer-fiend destination Bierkraft covers all the bases. Read more
If you don't want to bring your growler in but still want to save money, you can borrow a house growler to enjoy while there.
TerrellFebruary 11, 2015When: Tuesdays at 7PM How: Showing up to a Tuesday tasting will get you free beer, cheese, and charcuterie.
Sean SmithFebruary 16, 2013Grab an amazing beer and an amazing sandwich and hang out in the garden area out back.
Michael KeatingJuly 21, 2011Best ice cream sandwich in the world. Salted caramel gelato (inevitably) with oatmeal raisin cookie (surprising!) wins
Hands down the best craft beer selection in NYC, but the sandwiches (esp the wagyu beef and serrano) are amazing as well!
Beer tastings every Tuesday night! Starts around 7pm. Get there a little early and order a sammich - I recommend the Vegetarian.
amazing sandwiches, probably 100+ microbrew varieties, cured meats, cheeses, zapp's flavored chips, and chocolates.- Rich ArmstrongJuly 31, 2010Their selection rotates so the keg is always fresh. This makes a difference. Captain Lawrence Pale Ale at any other bar is just a good choice. Here, it's a revelation.
Alicia PearceOctober 30, 2013Great beer selection but beware if you don't show up right at 7 for the tasting you'll miss it.
InFOODxicationNovember 1, 2012Young fun crowd..sandwiches are huuge and delicious!! Will def be back for more!
Michael StoopackJuly 1, 2013Look for the incredible IPA, Nebuchadnezzar. Swedish. Identifiable by it black on white striped label.
