Any chance of seeing the pictures from the brewery exhibit anywhere else, anytime soon? We missed the exhibit and would really like to see the old photos of the brewery.

Josh: If your Rheingold tasted like rotten apple juice it means you drank from an old keg. Try a bottle...much better.

I'll take a Rheingold anyday over Bud or Coors.

Rheingold was better when they were still making "Rheingold Extra Dry". The reformulated version is just boring.

The Brooklyn Historical Society is running an exhibition about beer in Brooklyn: 100 Bottles of Beer on the Wall: Brewing in Brooklyn, from May 14 to Oct. 15. "[It] examines the cultural and economic role of Brooklyn as an important center of beer production from 1870 until the 1970s. Visitors also will discover brewing methods and recipes for creating distinct flavors and aromas, as well as beer appreciation skills and the art of home brewing. On Friday evenings, May 14 through August 27, the Historical Society will celebrate local brewing by creating a beer garden featuring Brooklyn bands and beer from the Brooklyn Brewery." http://www.brooklynhistory.org/exhibitions.html

Josh, I agree Rheingold is an acquired taste. It leaves the dryest aftertaste I have ever experienced of any beer. Yet, I still prefer it among all the 'cheap' beers out there.

It's too bad that Rheingold tastes like rotten apple juice mixed with beer.
