New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg will cut the ribbon to inaugurate the local expansion of the Brooklyn Brewery on Monday, Feb. 14 at 10am. Brewery President Steve Hindy, Brewmaster Garret Oliver and partners Robin and Eric Ottaway will be joined by the mayor at the brewery’s Williamsburg location. The $8 million expansion will increase the capacity of the brewery from 12,000 barrels a year to 120,000 barrels.
