DUMBO gets its own beer
Coney Island Brewing Co.’s New Beers Honor Brooklyn’s Storied Past
Two new beers, created by Coney Island Brewing Company, pay homage to Coney Island’s past and to the legacy of Brooklyn as a haven for artists.
Overpass — with juicy citrus flavors and tropical hop aromas in a deep golden, richly aromatic IPA — recognizes the artists, musicians and renaissance souls who staked claim and built a community Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass (DUMBO), according to Coney Island Brewing Company.
1609 is a deep amber ale with a full malt, slightly nutty character and strong citrus hop nose. Coney Island Brewing Company says the beer’s bold nature was inspired by the neighborhood’s history; 1609 was the year that explorers first set foot on that massive dune along the Atlantic that became Coney Island.
