A beer garden would be a fantastic venture for this neighborhood. There are a limited selection of decent bars, and this would be a welcome addition.

Brennen, It is the same folk that brew for Heartland but they produce that beer under contract, meaning that the brewery has little or no say in the quality or recipes of the beer. Heartland, the company, hires the brewery to make the beer, giving them the recipe, etc. Kelso is the brewery's own label of beer, nothing to do with Heartland except that its made under the same roof, and it is very good.

As long as it is run well and "beer garden" doesn't turn into "drunken lout garden".

Just in case the people who are thinking about doing this are reading this, this is an excellent idea, I've had at least a couple conversations with fellow brooklynites about our jealousy of the excellent beer garden in Queens, and how Brooklyn really needs one. So yeah, if you build it, they will come.

If it's the same folk brewing for Heartland, I imagine the emphasis will be on the garden over the beer. It's nice to wile away a few hours in a beer garden, but it's even nicer if the beer is good. MBW

There was also recent discussion of rezoning in Red Hook that would allow for a waterfront Beer Garden. Not sure if that would be for local Six Point or for slightly further north Brooklyn Brewery - but all of this seems to make perfect sense for BKLYN!

We went to the tour at Brooklyn Brewery at W.Burg, spend a whole hour there and didn't even get a free taste of beer, they say you have to buy your own beer after finishing the tour, what a cheap ass, thats what happen when a i-banker open a brewery, don't bother about the journalist stories about brewing beer in middle east in the hotel bathtub, those are all gimmicks. Not to mention that they only brew so little amount of their products there! It is universal rules, you go to a brewery tour you got free beer. No matter if you go to the Trappist Monk Monastery in Belgium or XXXX in Brisbane in Ozland, you always get free beer, at least a pint. When you go to Anchor Brewery in San Francisco they let you taste all their beer plus their own whisky for at least 45 mins of time. Thats why we never buy those Cheap Asses Brooklyn Brewery products anymore.
