Perfect for anyone to enjoy, it offers light toasty flavours and spicy, subtle citrus hop notes.

“We pulled in our favorite parts of our home borough in New York – the bright colors, crackling energy, flavorful people and parties that never end, and bundled it all up into one brilliant beer and global campaign,” says Jonas Bjarkow, Global Marketing director, Craft Beer. Consumer testing shows the new pilsner significantly outperforms key competitors on purchase intent and overall liking with the bold packaging creating standout on shelves and discoverability with those playful Brooklyn icons. “It’s important for us to have a pilsner in our Brooklyn portfolio, it’s a classic style loved by so many beer drinkers – this is about putting soul into scale. It’s crisp, bright, refreshing and premium, and we believe it will become one of the new classics of our range,” Jonas continues.

Brooklyn Pilsner will sit alongside other award-winning beers in the Brooklyn Brewery portfolio, including leading premium craft Brooklyn Lager, it’s powerful IPA line-up with The Stonewall Inn IPA, Pulp Art Hazy IPA, Defender IPA and East IPA as well as the fast-growing alcohol free Special Effects range with the new classic Hoppy Lager and the newest addition, the IPA.
