They host events fairly often, like the Maibock Party in early May, which I also attended-
Here, Ed Raven (the owner of Brouwerij Lane and Raven Import Co) explains the origins of Maibock, and goes over some of the seasonal offerings-
There is a fantastic selection of 'mix and match' bottles for sale in their coolers -
And while you are there, you can enjoy a half pint for 2 bucks or a full pint for 4 bucks. But if you want to take home one of their great tap selections (which change regularly)...
...Then pick yourself up a growler (a term I never heard prior to this establishment - it holds about 4 pints) for 5 bucks and have it filled it with the beer of your choice!
If you're lucky, Erik Olsen will be working that day. If you're not sure which beer to select, let him know what brands or types of brew you prefer. He will be happy to explain the different available beers and give you a sample before you make your selection. (This man has not steered me wrong once! Thank you, Erik!)
And with all the constant TV and movie shooting that goes on in our neighborhood - a good amount of the trailers parked up and down Greenpoint Ave - Brouwerij Lane makes sure the film crews know they are welcome -
So, if you are a lover of great beer, I highly recommend checking this place out. Leave with a mix and match 6 pack or buy a growler and bring home some fresh, delicious tap beer, which is what I do. Of course the beauty of the growler is bringing it back for a refill when you're done. In fact, I need a refill myself. I'm headed over there now...

Oh I am so glad their hours changed. Now I will be able to stop in after work. No more corner store after this. Brouwerij Lane is one of my favorite places in Greenpoint.
Bummer...I wish we knew of this place when we were there! My husband would have bought the place out! :)
Jenn- Sorry you didn't know about it when you were here. But I hope you guys had a GREAT time in NYC! Maybe we will see you again (if you come back, I'll give you a mini tour of Greenpoint, including Brouwerij Lane)
I've just gotta tell you Sheryl, I've been reading your blog for a while and you are a fascinating person. I've never really been interested in New York before...until I started reading your blog. I love the pictures and the way you describe things. It definitely inspires this southern chic to maybe one day visit your city. :)
Delilah, thank you so much. That's a really nice compliment. NYC is so huge, there is so much to see and it changes pretty constantly; so there is always something for everyone. The trick is finding it! :)
You forgot to add that Erik is hot. I don't think he could ever steer me wrong, regardless of beer selection...
just moved to Greenpoint, and your blog is super fun and helpful! I definitely need to head out to B's bikes (just a block away from my apt!) for a tune up, and a beer won't hurt...thanks! I luv your blog!
Starbuck, I know. He' super hot. I wasn't going to mention that and just let the photo speak for itself, but I agree with you.
Miriam- Welcome to charming, magical and sometimes odoriferous Greenpoint! I'm glad you found my blog and it gave you some helpful information. There are a few other neighborhood blogs in my blog roll that you should check out if you have not already.
This sounds so great. My brother lives in Fargo and keeps an empty growler in the back seat of his car just in case he wants to pick up some beer. Didn't know that existed here. So excited!
