479269 Mon Jan 14 12:19:29 -0800 2008 9 2 Los Angeles Area 0 3294255 It's been posted in SF, but not here that I can find - does anywhere between, say, San Diego and Santa Barbara sell (really looking for bottled, but tap would be good to know as well) any of Brooklyn Brewery's beer selections? (I'm in no way opposed to enjoying good local brews - this is a very specific Giants-in-the-postseason expat request and the only reasonable alternative would be some recently unearthed 1980s Ballantine). Thanks! Mon Jan 14 12:19:29 -0800 2008 157413 asadasam 1 3294263 we don't get it out here :( Mon Jan 14 12:21:43 -0800 2008 3294255 11201 Diana 1 3294855 Unavailable as far as I know. I read their book (Beer School) and apparently after some forays into markets outside of the NY metro area went sour, they have re-trenched. According to the book, they sold a couple of truckloads of beer to a distributor in Florida who couldn't get it off his shelves before it went skunky. Mon Jan 14 14:30:02 -0800 2008 3294255 28056 vlad 1 3295268 I called them about a year or two back to inquire. According the them, outside of ordering it yourself from a distributor, you won't find it in any stores or bars this far west.

I guess I'm better off looking for the Ballantine's. (Though someone in the SF thread mentioned it being available in Napa - though likely that was pre-retrenching.) Tue Jan 15 17:03:14 -0800 2008 3297995 157413 asadasam 2 3300361 It just ain't distributed here :( Wed Jan 16 06:11:22 -0800 2008 3297995 11201 Diana 1 3306765 Can a case be ordered from the brewery? I would go in halfsies with you. This was my "college beer" at NYU and I sometimes dream about it.

But the look of my friend when he saw that they carry Brooklyn Lager in a cafe in Shanghai...yes, I can get Brooklyn lager here in Shanghai...it was amazing.
