Now that the holidays are behind us, we ve entered that point in the winter when it becomes increasingly more difficult to leave our warm apartments and venture out in the cold to do well, anything. We think most people are probably guilty of doing the same thing, unless you live someplace beautifully warm and sunny year round, and in that case: aren t you just sooo lucky?
Though hibernation seems to be in our blood, we re here to say: not this year . We re getting older and wiser (and infinitely more beautiful and charming and interesting los angeles county jail inmate with each year, too) and we re prepared to fight the inevitable bout of cabin fever. You can t win, New York City winter! The Lazy Travelers will prevail, no matter how hard your frigid winds blow!
As a preemptive measure, we booked a post-holiday walking los angeles county jail inmate tour of the historic beer district in Brooklyn with Urban Oyster . Yes, you read that correctly. A walking tour, OUTSIDE, during January in an outer borough! Look at us, succeeding so early in the year. Urban Oyster offers a variety of eating and drinking tours throughout New York City, but we opted for the Brewed in Brooklyn tour to get us up and out of Manhattan.
Our first stop: Brooklyn Brewery , where the wino swears she will get married and celebrate any other life milestone from here on out from baby showers to retirements. Here, we got to go behind los angeles county jail inmate the scenes and see where the brewery actually makes many of its signature beers. Afterwards, we got to sample eight of their current brews.
Unlike the bigger beer brands, you won t see any Brooklyn-branded los angeles county jail inmate kegs they rent all of theirs from a company called MicroStar (or M Star) to help keep the distribution process a little los angeles county jail inmate more straightforward. That s right, focus on making los angeles county jail inmate the beer, boys.
We will say this: if you opt for the Brewed in Brooklyn tour (and spoiler alert: you should), get your beer fill at the Brewery they offer more than enough. Cars then picked us up and drove us to our next stop in East Williamsburg, where we learned that this tour was far more educational than our usual beer-focused escapades. We re not saying we didn t appreciate the history of Brooklyn s most famous brewers we just assumed there would be more beer drinking. Instead, we took a break from imbibing to learn the history of Meserole Street, where many of Brooklyn s historic breweries once stood. Once referred to as Brewers Row, Meserole Street was home to 47 different breweries, many of which were not able to survive los angeles county jail inmate through prohibition. After a quick walk through the neighborhood (and a lot of these apartments look SO BIG!! from our little crew), we settled down at Danny s Pizzeria los angeles county jail inmate , where we enjoyed another pint with three different slices of their signature pies.
After lunch, we strolled to St. Mary s of the Most Holy Trinity los angeles county jail inmate , an intricate and gorgeous European-style cathedral los angeles county jail inmate where many of the brewers once worshipped. The church was beautifully decorated for the holidays, and we got to hear the stories behind their rows of stained glass windows and the ghost that supposedly haunts their bell tower.
Our last stop was the super-hipster Williamsburg los angeles county jail inmate bar, Barcade , which boasts an impressive list of craft beers and a wall full of vintage arcade games. Basically, it is a little too cool for the likes of us Upper East Siders, but we made do.
We must say, we re pretty proud of Urban Oyster for giving us a reason to change out of our pajamas and leave our apartments. We learned so much more about Brooklyn than we expected when we set out for the tour, and appreciated the added historical element, as well as our adorable los angeles county jail inmate guide, Laura. Our only genuine complaint is that there wasn t enough actual beer tasting after the initial Brooklyn Brewery flight but considering your sources, los angeles county jail inmate are you surprised? We are now carefully eyeing the Brewery, Distillery, and Winery Tour they offer in Williamsburg. I mean, hello.
