Brooklyn manages to fulfill many of my young adult fantasies: bars open at every hour, crazy rave parties when a bar isn’t pushing the boundaries enough, and people of all ages in outfits that look like they belong at rave parties roving the streets day and night. But one aspect of this party-fueled equation doesn’t quite deliver, and that is its breweries. Smaller towns like Philadelphia and Portland have a much greater selection of innovative local breweries, so imagine my surprise to learn that for a while Brooklyn produced 10% of all US beers, most of which were brewed right here in Bushwick – say what?? Yes, once upon a time, many breweries called Bushwick their headquarters, including Trommer’s, F&M Schaefer, Piels, Liebman, Ehrets, Goldenrod, Old Dutch, Charles Schafer, and Schlitz! That’s a far cry from the current state of affairs, with an abundant selection of imports but few local producers. But while we anxiously await for this problem to be remedied, Sixpoint Brewery (located in Red Hook in South Brooklyn) is hard at work keeping Brooklyn’s beer legacy alive, and Anchored Inn here in Bushwick is helping them out by serving my favorite of their beers on tap: Sixpoint Righteous Ale.
