I live right across from the old Hittleman Brewery, and it’s such a shame that it’s become a food distributor/warehouse. How amazing would it be to get it up and running again as an actual brewery?? Bring beer back to Bushwick!

Rheingold setting up shop in Bushwick again? Ummm… I dunno. That’s likely to inspire a lot of mixed feelings. Read the history of how they came to leave in the first place and you’ll understand why.

At any rate, what *would* be very appropriate for any brewery that should set up shop in Bushwick is to bring back this old classic style:

I correct myself. Greenpoint Beer Works (the aforementioned so-called Greenpoint brewer) is actually in Clinton Hill. The company’s website states that their original plan to set up house in Greenpoint failed and they ended up in Clinton Hill. It was easier to keep the name.

Too bad about the Brewery moving. They’re within walking distance of where I live in Greenpoint. Beer garden would be nice for them to have, though. Coney Island Lager has a myspace page. in one of their blog posts, they say the lager was created and brewed by a Saratoga Springs brewer and a Greenpoint brewer. If rumor says the beer is local, perhaps it was brewed in Greenpoint? interesting nonetheless. great website and myspace profile they have, too.

Ahh, Jimmy met Jeremy? He’s quite a character. Wonder why he wasn’t pimping his own stuff that night. I’m surprised.

And a previous post, no not brewed in San Fran. It’s brewed here, he’s just ‘bicostal’. In fact their Coney Island Lager is brewed in the BK. Can’t recall exactly where but it’s local to the extreme.

This building is right next door to my old place. It has been used as a woodworking/carpentry business for as long as i lived there.

Once a good micro brewery opens the area will improve. But for those that don’t drink how about a coffee shop, or such.

I’m sure it won’t be long before some place brew-related opens up in the area,whether it be a brew-pub or something akin to Beirkraft in Park Slope. You can already see the good beers moving into the local bodegas pretty quickly as the beer snobs move into the neighborhood.

Yeah, according to the Brooklyn Paper.
