Brooklyn Lager, the Brewery's flagship label, is New York's "hometown" beer, brewed to a pre-Prohibition recipe that dates back to the days when Brooklyn was the brewing capital of the East Coast. Brooklyn Lager has won numerous awards, beginning with a first place finish at the Great American Beer Tasting in New York in 1989, the brewery's second year of operation. Brooklyn Lager was also awarded a Gold Medal in the Vienna Lager category at the Great American Beer Festival in 1992, and was named World Champion Amber Lager by the Beverage Testing Institute in Chicago in 1994. In 1996, it received perhaps its most prestigious award yet, as a panel of judges comprised of brewers and industry experts named the brand, "Best Craft Lager in America."
