About Eckhart Beer Co.
Eckhart Beer Co. is a lager brewery and taproom on Johnson Avenue in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Its website calls it NYC's lager brewery. It brews a handful of styles from the European lager tradition rather than chasing dozens of trends.
The taproom runs ten taps, lager-forward top to bottom, and pours each beer in the proper glass. Styles on the list include Helles, German-style pils, Czech-style pale, amber and dark lagers, a Kolsch and a Haus IPA. The brewery says it sources its malt and hops from traditional lager-producing areas in Europe.
This is a sit-down room with table service and a full food menu. The menu includes bratwurst, spaetzle gratin and a pretzel with beer cheese, along with falafel and vegetarian and vegan options. There is also a small list of wine and cider, plus house-made non-alcoholic drinks.
The taproom has room for a big group or a quiet date. Its website says children are welcome when supervised. It also says there are no televisions, in the interest of conversation.
