But Chicago vs. Miami is good. I've got some Chicago in me so it would be nice; but dang that James...

This might of had a chance if it only were from Brooklyn, NY; instead it was Berewed in Utica, NY. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Unless I am mistaken, this is still brewed in Brooklyn:

I guess mine could have been brewed between 1987 and 1996 since that is when this snippet suggests it was contracted out to Utica. Should have saved that bottle. Maybe I'll go later and see if they have some more. I'll report back. [smiley=beerchug.gif]

excerpt:
Tom became convinced that there was a market for this sort of beer and together with Steve they founded the Brooklyn Brewery in 1987. With the help of fourth-generation German-American brewmaster William M. Moeller, their first official beer was brewed: Brooklyn Lager. For the next nine years, their brews were contract brewed up in Utica, NY. In 1994 they hired highly respected New York brewmaster Garret Oliver to design their own Brooklyn plant and oversee production at the Utica facility. On a momentous day in 1996, mayor Rudy Giuliani cut the ribbon in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and their new plant was opened. Since then, Oliver has created some of the most well-known, well respected brews to come out of the east coast. There’s much more to be said of Tom’s and Steve’s success story (and requisite hardships encountered along the way)—all of which can be read about in their upcoming book BEER SCHOOL—Bottling Success at the Brooklyn Brewery, to be published by John Wiley & Sons in October 2005. It’s a book we’re definitely eager to pick up—after all, this is one of our favorite breweries! We hope you enjoy their two brews we’ve selected for you this month. For more information about the brewery and scheduled tours, call (718) 486-7422 or check out their web site at www.brooklynbrewery.com.
