Brooklyn Brewery is expanding its portfolio with the addition of Playa de Brooklyn, a lime lager first introduced as a small-batch Tasting Room release that quickly became a fan favorite. The new lager is available nationwide now in 6-packs of 12 oz. cans and bottles, as well as on draft.
Brooklyn Brewery’s James Beard Award-winning brewmaster, Garrett Oliver explained in a press release: “My summer Playa is in Brooklyn — in my own rooftop garden, lined with palm trees and drenched in sunshine, where Playa de Brooklyn is the star of my frequent barbecues. And my winter Playa is in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, where I spend weeks every January recharging my solar battery until I’m back up on my roof. I created Playa de Brooklyn to capture that feeling—it takes me straight to that beautiful Mexican beach, puts sunshine on my face and palm trees over my head, no matter where I actually am. It’s a state of mind… my favorite one.”
Brewed with Hallertau and Saaz hops, Playa de Brooklyn delivers a flavor that’s fresh and zesty with a hint of lime, according to the brewery. At 4.8% ABV, this lager is being introduced in clear glass bottles.
