SOLD OUT! The Brokelyn Beer Book: 25 beers for $25

Picture 42

Due to an unexpected stampede, we are completely sold out of Beer Books. To put your name on a waiting list so we can let you know if any more become available, please send an email to beerbook@brokelyn.com.

Your dilemmas: You have a craft-ale palate and a PBR budget. And you want to try some new places, maybe even outside your neighborhood. But where to go?

Our solution: The Brokelyn Beer Book!

Yes, readers, your fellow lushes at Brokelyn—and the insane design talents at The Heads of State—have joined forces on The Brokelyn Beer Book, a passport to our favorite bars and beer-centric eateries that gives you a chance to try a whole bunch of new places (or revisit old favorites) for a teensy fraction of what it would cost you without our generous financial-aid package.

Quite simply, The Brokelyn Beer Book is a coupon book good for 25 beers—pints, bottles, microwbrews and craft ales—at 25 of the borough’s best brew pubs, taverns, beer-loving restaurants, dive bars and even a bowling alley.

How much would you pay for all of these beers? Purchased one at a time, you’d pay at least $125. Easily $150. And possibly more.

But the cost for this never-before-available-to-the-public book is just $25. Or a buck a beer. (Not including the generous tip you will surely leave in your overjoyed state and the rounds you will buy your friends afterwards because you’re feeling so flush.)

It’s no accident that our limited-edition Brokelyn Beer Book comes just in time for Valentine’s Day. Whether you’re old marrieds or new maybes, is there any better way to say “I’d love to get drunk with you?”

This handsomely designed book features all the greatest bars from Greenpoint to the South Slope: The Atlantic ChipShop, Bar Great Harry, Bar Matchless, The Bell House, Black Mountain Winehouse, Black Rabbit, The Brazen Head, Brooklyn Bowl, Brooklyn Brewery, Brooklyn Ice House, B61, Ceol, The Charleston, The Diamond, The Gate, High DiveManhattan Inn, No. 7, Pacific Standard, The Sackett, SidecarStrong Place, SycamoreTrophy Bar and Union Hall. And you can walk, not run, to cash these coupons in—they’re redeemable through the end of 2010.

Click here to find out more about our participating bars.

No, the limited-edition Brokelyn Beer Book is not sold in stores at any price. Order here—by Tuesday for Valentine’s Day delivery. (Wednesday’s probably still okay but Thursday might be pushing it. UPDATE: The book is sold out. Please put your name on our waiting list by emailing beerbook@brokelyn.com.

  4. It’s 1 beer from each place? Or is it just 25 beers and you can do 5 from 5 different place?

    Do they limit what beer you are allowed to get with the book?

  5. It’s one beer from each of the 25 places. Some places have limitations on what you can get, but they’re almost all good for any draft beer or any beer up to $6 at those bars.
