Brooklyn Pour 2014 Unites Local Brewers and Beer Fans

The Village Voice celebrated its fourth annual Brooklyn Pour at Skylight One Hanson (One Hanson Place, Brooklyn, 718-783-5437) on Saturday, September 27, giving craft beer fans the chance to taste more than 125 beers from 70 breweries, many of which are based right here in New York.

A broad range of brews was on display, from flagship favorites like Captain Lawrence Brewing Company’s Captain’s Kolsch and Ithaca Beer Co.’s Flower Power IPA, to seasonal debuts like KelSo Beer‘s Kellerfest, Finback Brewery‘s I Pumpkin A (Pumpkin IPA), and Coney Island Brewing Company’s Freaktoberfest Big Ol’ Pumkin Ale With Espresso Beans.

A few non-barley-based selections showed up to the party, too — Ace Pineapple Cider by California Cider Company and Wölffer Estate Vineyard‘s dry white cider and dry rosé cider, for instance.

Whether you attended and want to relive the moments or missed out and want to get pumped for next year, take a peek at these shots and see what the 2014 Brooklyn Pour brought to Brooklyn this year.
