New Brooklyn Beers

We are proud to introduce two new beers to the Brooklyn family: AMA Bionda and Brooklyn BAMBoozle.

Brewed by Amarcord Brewery in Apecchio, Italy and designed by Brooklyn Brewmaster Garrett Oliver, AMA Bionda is a golden beer born of aromatic malts, three types of hops, Italian Orange Blossom honey from Sicily, and water from springs that date to Roman times.

Commemorating BAM's 150th Anniversary, BAMBoozle features NY State wildflower honey, and is fermented to a dry complexity by our Belgian yeast strain before being re-fermented in the bottle like Champagne.
