The Brooklyn Experience: Brooklyn Beer @ Saro Lounge
An eventful night indeed, I was back over at the very comfy Saro Lounge, Pavilion Elite, this time around to savour all that Brooklyn Beer has to offer. Paired with delicious noms, the food pairing with craft beer experience is indeed one to remember. Love chill events such as this, brought to us together with Thirst Mag this time around, the Thai inspired dishes and ambiance sat very well with all present. Read on.

Brooklyn Beer x Thirst Mag
It was indeed a rather exclusive food and craft beer pairing session, organised by Thirst Mag and Carlsberg. We tried out the two variants of Brooklyn Beer that evening, namely the Brooklyn Lager and East IPA (EIPA). Together with food curated for the pairing by Head Chef Nopporn Nutto and Chef Faizal, we were all set for the night.

A Little about Brooklyn Beer
We were introduced to Brooklyn Beer by Thomas Teo, Commercial Development Manager - Craft & Specialty of Carlsberg Singapore, where he shared his extensive knowledge and insights on craft beer, food pairing and the uniqueness of the Brooklyn Lager and Brooklyn East IPA. These two craft beers is currently exclusively distributed by Carlsberg.

It was a good night out |
Brooklyn Lager
Brooklyn Lager is an American amber lager in the Vienna style. At 5.2% ABVm the amber gold colour of the beer did entice us. There’s a firm malt center with a refreshingly bitter and floral hop aroma. Served ice cold, the result is a really nice flavourful beer, smooth and refreshing. We paired it with the Mini Burgers & Grilled New Zealand Lamb Skewers, and Garlic Fried Rice served from Saro Lounge.

What makes a good beer? |
It was a fun session, and the food was pretty good. Loved the Fusion lamb on skewers and garlic fried rice, coupled with Linguine Aglio Olio with Grilled Prawns, and Beef Burrito, with mini burgers, what more can we ask for?

Bring forth the food! |
Brooklyn East IPA
|
Brooklyn East IPA |
Brooklyn East IPA, at 6.9% ABV, is a clean, drinkable India pale ale that offers a bold balance, with a bright piney aroma from American hops. Pretty interesting blend of taste, there’s that firm bitterness characteristic of IPA’s ancestral British home. Between the two, I much preferred the Brooklyn East IPA. We paired the Brooklyn EIPA with Beef Burrito & Linguine Aglio Olio with Grilled Prawns.

I wonder if I will get a gout attack drinking this - happened when I drank Tiger so I'm off all alcoholic drinks for years now.
