| - I'm not over here often enough to hit Brawley's as often as I'd like, but I'll make the trip to pick up special occasion beverages or if in need of a keg of good beer at an affordable price. After touring the walk in fridge to see what was in stock keg-wise, dude claimed he could get pretty much anything, given a few days notice. Awesome.
Also pulled out his last bottle of Brooklyn Black Ops to (brag about) show us. He then quickly re-stashed it behind the counter.
This is a beer cave, complete with dark corners, mysterious brews, and an old doggy. Not open late (7pm every day 'cept Sunday, when they close at 5) but worth making the time after work to swing by-- great wine selection and seriously impressive bottles of beer from all over the world, reasonably priced. Some may think $20 bottles of heifeweizen are over the top. Me, I'd rather put it on my Christmas list, knowing that it can, at least, be gotten somewhere in the Queen city.
We were told to grab a free glass on the way out, which was a nice touch (we'd only dropped about $20). I'd have probably bought it anyway, since the collection of glasses is reasonably priced and diverse: flutes, pilsners, cute pints from around the states and globe (Ska Brewing, huzzah!).
As their site says: "By necessity we sell the bigger corporate brands, but in a perfect world we would not." You can pick up some Heineken here, if need be, but there's far better choices to be had.
