These guys do Tuesday evening beer-and-cheese tastings where you learn everything about what you're tasting. The beer selection is big for such a small shop and they also brew their own. The cheese selection is carefully selected and with their expert help you can sample your way to the perfect cheese. Also, there are lots of little treats and snacks. The staff clearly enjoy what they do and the shop seems like a real labor of love.

My brother, who works in the beer industry, turned me on to this place. Not only is the beer selection good, but they have a wide range of edible delicacies as well (think imported chocolate and meats). This is the place to head to if you want to serve your guests (or yourself) an excellent treat!

It's more likely the staff member you interacted with was dead tired from working at a place where so many people enjoy shopping. Since the day it opened, Bierkraft has served up not only the finest, freshest selection of beeyas in the tri-state, but a friendly attitude as well. I support my local bodega, but when you want to go beer shopping, there's no other choice.

Bierkraft rocks.

Incredibly overpriced, and the salesperson I interacted with was downright rude. Go to the deli next door - they have a decent selection and its half the price.

This is one of the reasons Brooklyn is awesome. In addition to the mind boggling amount of beer, there is a huge cheese selection, and tons of chocolate. The people there obviously care a lot about what they're selling, and you can spend hours talking to the folks behind the cheese counter. They just started selling seasonal or specialty beer by the big bottle, and you bring in your big bottle and fill it up, then bring it back for more when it's empty! The world is a better place for this.
