The air is crisp and chill, puffer-coated pooches are roaming the streets of Greenpoint and it’s dark by 5pm. It’s exactly the time of year to hole-up in a cozy drinking den and spend the evening getting intimate with an extensive menu of local craft beers and delicious bar snacks.
Which means that last week’s opening of The Brew Inn (924 Manhattan Ave) is spectacularly well-timed.

Why your support matters
friendly advice to the brew inn from a local beer lover. a local beer list does not necessarily equate a well curated beer list. would be nice to have more beers that i can’t already get at every other bar. best of luck.
Agreed. Too many bars are jumping on the craft beer bandwagon without seeming to understand that craft beer drinkers want variety, and aren’t going to be drawn to a place that doesn’t offer a few beers that are unique or unusual. “Local” is not always unique, especially if you’re simply choosing the cheapest kegs from every brewery in New York State.
My hope is that they’ll learn as they go and improve the list.
