Brokelyn Beer Book 2.0: coming soon
Mondays are rough enough, even without the news that New York is saying adios to toxic booze juice Four Loko. But cheer up because we’ve got the good news you’ve been waiting for (and one that’s a lot better than drinking alcoholic battery acid): The second Brokelyn Beer Book is nearly here! You nominated some of the best beer bars in the borough and Team Brokelyn has been hitting the streets hard over the past two weeks signing them up. We’ve nearly filled the entire 30-bar roster so keep your eyes peeled on Brokelyn, because they’ll sell out quickly. So whose beers can you look forward to enjoying with your Beer Book 2.0?

This is the latest in our series on the venues featured in the Brokelyn Beer Book. With its prodigious on-tap and bottled selection, Bar Great Harry in Carroll Gardens is about the beer, plain and simple.
BAR GREAT HARRY

280 Smith St. between Sackett & Degraw, Carroll Gardens, 718-222-1103
What it is: Hops heaven
Why we love it: 20 constantly rotating craft taps, one rotating hand-pump cask and 30+ bottles
Who to bring: Beer snobs who know a Sly Fox from a Flying Dog.
What to order: We couldn’t presume to decide for you, but the dub pies are cooked fresh per order.
Bar Great Harry fun fact: Every other Tuesday is Brewery Night, with $4 beers from the brewery of the day.

Although most of the 16 places listed below have similar hours and prices (weekdays 5-8, $3 beers), some standouts caught our eye: Camp’s Recession Thursdays run all night long with $3 well drinks, while Bar Great Harry offers 21 beers on tap as well as well drinks and bottles, all 2 for $5! Once the clock strikes 8 you can always saunter down the block to Gowanus Yacht Club, where $2 and $3 drinks are the norm. Read the rest of this entry »
This is the seventh in our series on the venues featured in the second Brooklyn Beer Book. Let’s just allow ourselves to believe this week that the spate of warm weather is the harbinger for a glorious spring to come, which is why we’re featuring Bar Great Harry, whose wide-open doors provide just the right amount of air flow to enjoy those early spring breezes.
Open those doors and let the sun shine in
BAR GREAT HARRY

What it is: Hops heaven that stands out from the preponderance of watering holes on Smith Street.
Why we love it: Knowledgeable staff helps you choose from 20 rotating drafts and 70+ bottles; two pinball machines keep your hands busy; a welcoming atmosphere for your pooch. Read the rest of this entry »
