is it nice?

[Ayrshire Chris]

Never tasted it before, I must get a few cans pre festival in the interests of research, i will soon find out if it’s crisp bright and refreshing as they claim or if it’s just pish.

As someone who lives in Brooklyn, I will never get used to seeing Brooklyn Lager in the UK and Europe. 

It's not bad - It's also not my favorite.  American beer tends to be sweeter than it should be, if you ask me. Brooklyn isn't one of those American sweet beers.  It's a standard middle of the road lager, that I think we all choose when we're unfamiliar with what else is on offer.

I had a few cans of it at the weekend and it's not bad, hopefully it's available on all the bars.

Whilst not a world beater; it’s very drinkable. Just glad we’ve not landed up with Carlsberg or some other pish water

[CaledonianGonzo]

Its better than Carlsberg and Tuborg.

All in, a win.

[nikkic]

An upgrade for sure 

[TorontoScot]

This is a win!  Much more palatable than the dross they have been serving.

Although the ABV seems to be less than the North American version unfortunately.

Same brewer makes them all - carlsberg, Tuborg and Brooklyn (someone find that Duff Beer pic with the huge brewing vessel piping off into three vats 🤣) but I’m glad they’re sending some of the alright stuff instead of the dreadful pisswater 👍

It's a W. 

Its not amazing but it's light has a decent hoppy taste. It is significantly better than Tuborg/Carlsberg as said previously.

Bring back the Belgian beer

[Quark]

If they're also doing the Brooklyn special effects LA that'll be a bonus 

[sfroml]

Was hoping for a Skol comeback....

Never been a fan of Brooklyn Lager, never had the Pilsner version though (if its any different mind😂), got to be better than Tuborg/Carlsberg though, I'd happily bring far less cans with me if ai knew I could get a decent pint

I noticed that five of the first seven comments  have come from Scots. I wonder if it was a cider announcement where the replies would have come from😊

[efcfanwirral]

Happy with that, not my favourite but more drinkable than Carlsberg! I like to start with a couple of beers before moving onto cider - its a perfect balance for me, whereas cider too early and I struggle to maintain. I won't touch spirits as I've got no self control...

[briddj]

4.6% is quite strong for your mass service lager!

EDIT: Just seen Tuborg is the same.

Spent a few months off alcohol at the beginning of the year and this was the best LA beer out there for my tastes

[Twiggy553]

The list of brands they own is endless.

I didn’t realise they owned Grimbergen or Wainwright. both of which I’ve enjoyed in the past, not sure if they’re still any good now.

Ah Grimbergen was the Belgian beer on draught
