Brooklyn Greenmarket Wheat - Using Ingredients Grown Within 200-Miles of The Brewery

We brought you the label, and now some additional details coming for Brooklyn Greenmarket Wheat from CrainsNewYork:

Brooklyn Brewery is unveiling a new beer on June 19 that is unlike all of its others. Greenmarket Wheat, as it's called, is made from products that were grown within 200 miles of New York City—in other words not in Germany, Canada, Belgium and the Midwest, where the local brewer purchases most of its grains. Its last brew, for example, a Belgian-style beer called Sorachi Ace, is made with hops developed in Japan.

The new beer is the product of a partnership with GrowNYC, a nonprofit that runs the city's 53 greenmarkets, and a number of local farms that have committed to growing wheat, barley and hops to supply local craft breweries. Brooklyn Brewery will pay GrowNYC a percentage of sales as part of a licensing deal.
