Der Schwarze Kölner in Fort Greene

March 24, 2010
7:00 pm to 10:00 pm

What better way to welcome sobriety back, after a week of post-St. Patty’s Day (the *other* “green” drinks) hangover, than to booze it up once more? Only this time, instead of green paper hats, you’ll have green-minded Brooklynites. Don’t worry, the beer’ll be the same.

For our March event, we’re checking out Fort Greene’s new beer garden, Der Schwarze Kölner. With long tabled communal seating, this chess-floored beer hall makes it easy to get to know your fellow Green Drinkers. But don’t let that distract you. Boasting eighteen taps of German’s finest, a selection of almost twice that in bottles, and one of the only spots in town to serve organic Bionade (if you’re going non-alcoholic), owners Dale Hall and Randi Lockemann weren’t kidding around when they opened up shop at this choice corner of Fulton and Greene. They even squeezed in some tasty German cuisine, from pretzels, to sausages, to cheeses.
