BROUWERIJ LANE GREENPOINT.  What can I say. This little beer bar/beer shop has everything you want in a neighborhood joint.  I guess to call it a joint is even too much.  It’s a little room with  a couple of tables, a GREAT draft selection of sessions for the long pub crawl and a fridge filled with a fine selection.  You know when they have an empty can of Heddy Topper on a shelf as decoration, it’s all going to be good.

They had the Jever  Pils on draft and the Jever truck was delivering the bottles.  It’s always one of my favorite German beers, light, crisp but with that skunky flavor…and I say that in a good way.  I texted my friend from Sweeden and he told me to hijack the truck.  Take a good close look at the selection…well worth it.  If I lived in Greenpoint, I’d have to be here at least weekly.  Ben the man pouring the beer and working the register and doing everything else was eager to have us sample many of the other beers and it was just perfect.

They sell no real food so you can BYOF.  They do have locally brined pickles and some chips.  GO TO THIS PLACE!  I insist!
