I think the first time was when Wicked Pete's brews were over here, pushed by Oddbins when they still had a decent choice of beers from around the world.<BR/><BR/>I remember Waitrose took it at one point and they also ended up selling it off cheap.<BR/><BR/>I've not seen anything from Wicked Pete for many years so assume they're no longer around.<BR/><BR/>We were in New York in the mid to late 90s and wandered over to Brooklyn for a brewery trip - we were the only ones on it - which was nice. I believe they may contract brew some of their main brands out of Brooklyn.<BR/><BR/>I agree with southportbooze that their Brown Ale is a lovely beer and in probably my favourite.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3003698046664815822.post-3701704481513518552008-02-27T21:48:00.000+00:002008-02-27T21:48:00.000+00:00It might be in my top ten (which actually has abou...It might be in my top ten (which actually has about fifty beers in it...). As you say, a great beer to drink when you just want something to accompany dinner or watching telly. We always enjoy introducing British real ale types to it and watching the confused and delighted looks on their faces.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3003698046664815822.post-86916400468863363232008-02-27T19:57:00.000+00:002008-02-27T19:57:00.000+00:00When I was last over in the States, about 6 years ...When I was last over in the States, about 6 years ago, I had Brooklyn Brown Ale which was pretty damn good.
