Engagement ring, wedding ring, and suffering.

Worn once by mistake.

Before marriage and after marriage.

The woman applying for a job in a Florida lemon grove seemed way too qualified for the job.
Look Miss," said the foreman, "have you any actual experience in picking lemons?"

Craft Beer of the Week Award

Brooklyn Local 1 - Brooklyn Brewery, Brooklyn, New York, USA

Style: Belgian Strong Pale Ale

An impressive gold, red, and black label announces Local 1 in a beautifully embossed, brown bottle with cork and cage. Upon the pop, aromas of earth, bready yeast, peaches, tropical mango, and honey-touched grains captivate the nose. In the glass, the hazy orange body supports a persistent white head, while swirls of Belgian lace stick to the sides. Made with demerara sugar, the volcanic soil imparts a minerally character to the flavor. Trace wisps of thyme blend with flavors of fresh melon, apple, nut bread, saison earthiness, tobacco, and honey. The palate warms in the 9% ABV and finishes dry.

Is it a Tripel, strong Saison, or a Belgian Strong Ale? Like a Trappiste Beer, Local 1 undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle...and true quality is reflected in the superb taste.

Cheers!
