Brooklyn Brew Shop

In the summer of 2009, Erica Shea and Stephen Valand quit their advertising jobs and with a small savings started making beer kits- because "beer is recession-proof!"  Erica became a beer maker after she discovered her Dad's old brewing kit but had trouble finding the ingredients in NYC.  And really everything is available in NYC- so a niche was born!  They started selling them at the Brooklyn Flea Market, the word got out and the rest is history.  Their kits have been featured in New York Magazine, Time Out, Real Simple and many more.  It has also been mentioned on CBS, Live with Regis and Kelly and NBC.  What a great gift for that beer loving guy in your life!  They say; beer making isn't difficult and that "if you can make oatmeal, you can make beer."  It requires little space, will save you money and your beer will probably even taste better than the bottled beer you can buy down the street!
