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. Strong Place, Cobble Hill’s late-bloomer of the Beer Book bunch, is open for business (as of July 26). Two dozen tap beers and one savory menu await.

STRONG PLACE
270 Court St. at Kane St., Cobble Hill

What it is: A gastro-pub featuring 24 tap beers, new American fare and a raw bar.
Why we love it: From the chef and owner of Bocca Lupo. If it’s any bit as tasty, atmospheric, and dependable, we’ll soon be hooked. Also, expect an amazing back yard (which should open in September).
Who to bring: Your future in-laws, foodie dates.
What to order: Crispy Duck Leg Confit, Grilled Lamb Burger with Feta, Fried Ipswich Clams Oysters.
Strong Place fun fact: For many years, the space was a bookstore called Shakespeare’s Sister.
