The owners of the classic Brouwerij Lane have always been "in deep," with New York beer: beyond the cozy retail/bar combo they have also been importing and distributing to other bars and restaurants.
The Founders Rübæus, or the Peak Organic Fresh Cut Pils (probably the best beer they’ve ever made), are a great for balancing the acid of the pickling liquid.
Most people are probably going for the barbecue and the brown spirits, but the 42 draft lines immediately make it the best place to get beer in Bed-Stuy.
Check the draft list for “of the moment” beers, like Bell’s Smitten, a delicious “Golden Rye.”
The bar has garnered a solid crowd. You don’t have to let them put hop tincture in your beer, though, if you don’t want to.
Best dive bar on the UWS with a great bottle selection - to go or to stay. A solid ~15 draft choices that rotate with 7 or so staples on top of that. Daily happy hour.
