Coney Island Brewing and the applied benefits of an Aussie accent

So right after our little beer brunch at Brooklyn Brewery we wandered down to the famous south eastern tip of Brooklyn, Coney Island. I had researched (yes, I occasionally try act like a professional journalist,) a  brewery that was doing interesting brews with ingredients such as cotton candy and candy apples. This place had to be found! Apparently they were only brewing a few gallons a week, putting them into the nano-brew club. After a brief walk around we found the place, literally a small hole in the wall next to the side show. We got talking to the nice folks inside and found out that their bottled range of beers is actually contract brewed by a great San Francisco brewing company, Shmaltz. The small-batch beers they brew on site are really just for fun. In fact when we walked in they had a mash boiling up to make a hazelnut flavoured brown ale. We got talking to the brewers about beers in australia and home brew techniques. This eventually lead to being able to try one of their beers, discretely poured into a soda cup! Shhhh! Most of their bottled range is available across the US at selected locations where good beer is available. The range is branded as lagers, even though most of them are dark beers. Having tasted some of them I believe this to be a mis-truth. They maybe lagers only by the way they were brewed but they certainly have some great depth of flavour and full rich body.
