I’ve recently written quite a bit about beer + breweries + Brooklyn. After running into Brooklyn Brewery founder Steve Hindy a couple of weeks ago, I’ve been busy reading his book, Beer School. Well, guess what? Someone’s actually made a documentary about the industry and its history, called Brewed in Brooklyn. It premieres tonight at 8pm. Filmmakers John Weber and Kim Bjorheim will be hosting a Q&A and talkback session. Go check it out, and yup, there will be free beer!
