I told him that I am not really a lager fan and wanted something with bite so he grabbed a tasting glass, poured me some and told me that I would be surprised. I had a taste and I was surprised and quite pleasantly too.

According to Garrett Oliver of Brooklyn Brewery, “We took an Austrian style and used a British technique and got an American beer.”
Well done too!!
I didn't get the bartenders name but he was a very engaging and knowledgeable chap, explaining all of what they had in bottles and on tap. While I was sipping on my Brooklyn Lager, I really wished I had time for another. He gave me a sample of Stiegl from Austria and showed me how the bottom of Strongbow glass was etched in order to hold the head on the beer.
It was an enjoyable way to spend twenty minutes.
