1987, former AP Middle East Correspondent Steve Hindy and banker Tom Potter quit their day jobs and started The Brooklyn Brewery. They started brewing a facility in Upstate New York.
1989, their first truck. With a team of stalwart salesmen, they began peddling Brooklyn Lager in the streets of New York City.
1996, Mayor Rudy Giuliani cut the ribbon to open their new brewery in Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood, the first successful commercial brewery in New York City since Schaefer & Rheingold closed their doord in 1976.
TODAY, The Brooklyn Brewery is among America's top 40 breweries, and Brooklyn Lager is among the top draft beers in New York City.
