Take Five: An Early Look at Five Boroughs Brewing Co.
Some folks journey to Sunset Park for tacos, others for dumplings and hand-yanked noodles. On Saturday, July 8, fans of spanking-fresh IPAs, pilsners, and raspberry goses should make hay to the melting-pot neighborhood for an early look at Five Boroughs Brewing Co., New York City's latest and greatest brewery.
Haven't heard of Five Boroughs? That's because the team has spent the better part of two years turning a bygone factory into a 30-barrel production facility (read: huge) and spacious taproom dedicated to New York City's dynamic and creative spirit.
Five Boroughs beers are made for the Bronx's hidden trails and sprawling Manhattan avenues. For lounging in Staten Island backyards and on Brooklyn fire escapes. For cutting out early in Queens and staying out late everywhere. The brewery's goal is to create a culture that encompasses every New Yorker, offering beers they can call their own.
The brewery isn't yet open to the public. But this afternoon Five Boroughs will open for a special behind-the-scenes tour complete with samples of the ready-for-primetime beer (more on that below). We'll also have food, likely the finest tamales Sunset Park can offer.
Ready to Take Five? Tickets are limited. The experience: not to be repeated.
Beers:
Pilsner - The Czech-style pilsner is light in color and body, with a clean, bitter finish. Czech Saaz hops impart soft floral and grassy aromas. This style is deceptively difficult to brew, and we've worked hard to refine this underrated lager. (5.0% ABV)
Gose - An incredibly drinkable low-ABV beer, our Gose is a textbook blend of acidic sourness and saltiness. Fermented cool with our house ale yeast, this beer finishes super clean with barely-there bitterness. (4.0% ABV)
Raspberry Gose - The clean, pleasantly salty Gose is conditioned on heaps of ripe raspberries. The result is a flawless blend of salty tartness and sweet fruit. This spin on our standard Gose has a refreshingly prickly carbonation and a noticeable dryness that perfectly accompanies New York City summers. (4.0% ABV)
IPA - Our IPA is a modern take on the West Coast original. We add most of the hops late in the brewing process, resulting in a colossal aroma of citrus balanced by herbs and pine. Flaked wheat and Optic malt contribute complexity and body, but this beer is all about hop aroma and bitterness. (6.8% ABV)
Helles - Our take on this classic Munich lager is brewed with Hallertau hops, German pilsner malt, and soft New York City tap water. Our Helles is a testament to precisely balanced, high-quality raw materials. Fermented long and cold with our house lager yeast, this Helles offers a crackery malt backbone and restrained bitterness. (4.5% ABV)
Wheat Pilsner - Wheat malt and Motueka hops may be the last ingredients youd expect in a traditional pilsner, but they provide the old-world beer with distinctive new-world flavors. Late-addition Motueka hops lend a nice lime-zest character and the German wheat malt adds a bit of tartness with a soft, creamy mouthfeel. (5.5% ABV)
Mosaic Pale Ale - Our Mosaic Pale Ale starts with a grain bill that includes a generous amount of pale rye malt and flaked wheat. Next comes a massive addition of Mosaic hops, resulting in huge notes of tropical fruit, berries, and citrus. The Pale Ale's profile is accentuated by small additions of Chinook hops, which contribute a balancing piney-herbal character. (5.8% ABV)
