Coney Island Brewing Company is Back!

By Chilled Magazine

COME JOIN US AT “THE WORLD’S SMALLEST BREWERY” JUNE – OCTOBER 2012

 Coney Island Brewing Company • 3008 W. 12th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11224

Shmaltz Brewing Company, ringleaders of Coney Island Craft Lagers® and HE’BREW – The Chosen Beer®, is thrilled to announce the second official season of Coney Island Brewing Company – the World’s Smallest Brewery – located in the heart of Coney Island; right next door to the Coney Island Circus Sideshow at 12th Street & Surf Avenue. At last year’s ribbon cutting ceremony, which featured Brooklyn luminaries such as Marty Markowitz (Brooklyn Borough, President) and Carl Hum (Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, President), New York media outlets and beer fans alike witnessed the unveiling of something truly spectacular, a fully-licensed commercial brewery producing approximately one gallon of beer per batch. NY Metromix reported, [quote]”those are some mighty tasty bottles of beer.”[/quote] Beer Street Journal (blog) stated, [quote]”The beers are just as creative and unique as Coney Island itself.”[/quote] Edible Manhattan commented, [quote]”drink beer made on the world’s smallest set-up. We bet you’ll enjoy it.”[/quote]

Coney Island Brewing Company is now open to the public! The Shmaltz brewing staff – along with special guest brewers – will craft three original beers each week to be bottled and sold at the brewery in collectible Coney Island Brewing Company packaging. All recipes brewed at CIBC are exclusive releases inspired by the local artistic and gastronomical landscape. Recent batches include a Pumpernickel Bagel Porter; a Red, White, and Blueberry Hefeweizen; and a Caramel Apple Ale. Shmaltz Brewing’s Coney Island Craft Lagers® and HE’BREW Beers® are also for sale at the brewery, and a limited amount of beer sampling will be available on premise.

Amid the controversy, chaos, and uncertainty surrounding the future of Coney Island, Shmaltz Brewing Company is proud to both honor the history and to participate in the ongoing evolution of America’s Playground. A recipient of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce’s “Distinguished Business Award” and recently named “Best American Craft Brewer (2010)” by Beverage World Magazine, Shmaltz continues its ambitious efforts to bottle Coney Island’s unique culture and ferment excitement for the neighborhood’s regeneration through the opening of Coney Island Brewing Company.

Coney Island Brewing Company’s storefront was made possible by a fellowship from Coney Island USA as part of their small business incubator program, which runs up until December 2012. Although the “World’s Smallest Brewery” will remain in operation as a permanent wonder and curiosity in Coney Island for many years to come, Shmaltz Brewing is looking forward to future expansion plans for the brewery to a larger location in the summer of 2013.

Coney Island Brewing Company will be open for business from June 2012 through Labor Day Weekend and likely until Halloween, and the hours of operation are: Thursday – Sunday, 12 pm – 6 pm. The brewery is located at 3008 W. 12th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11224, directly adjacent to the Coney Island Circus Sideshow and Museum.
