Brooklyn Cookie Jar Porter comes next in Brewmaster’s Reserve Series
(Brooklyn, NY) – Gone from the taps is Brooklyn Backbreaker. Its replacement has arrived in the form of Brooklyn Cookie Jar Porter.
The Brooklyn Brewmaster’s Reserve Series is a line of draft-only beers that rotate every couple months. I’m pretty sure these beers are only featured at the better beer bars on the East Coast and are most commonly found in the NY/PA/MA areas. The next edition, Cookie Jar Porter, will debut on tap over the next couple weeks. Here is the brewery description:
“Last winter, while the Brooklyn brewing team sat around a peat fire drinking some inspirational drinks, brewer Tom Price mentioned that his friend’s bakery made some very fine oatmeal cookies. Before long, we were all talking about oatmeal cookies and how good they are with beer. Pretty soon we’d somehow decided that the cookies should actually become a beer. Funny, the things people come up with while drinking in front of a good fire.
Of course, oatmeal in beer isn’t a new idea. For centuries brewers have added oats to the mash, giving the resulting beers – usually stouts – silky smooth textures. But how best to create the flavors we had in mind? Out in Jersey City (NYC’s 6th borough), Tom’s friends at Feed Your Soul Bakery make some of the tastiest oatmeal cookies we’ve ever had. After talking to the bakers (and eating a lot of cookies), we brewed a beer from floor-malted barley malt, golden oats, raisins, brown sugar, honey, vanilla beans and a subtle dash of spice.
Brooklyn Cookie Jar Porter brings all these flavors together with light chocolate, coffee and caramel flavors to create a beer that will warm up the coldest nights, even if you don’t have a peat fire. It’s very nice by itself, but perhaps even better with roasted pork, barbecue, or traditional Mexican mole dishes. Or, of course, some oatmeal cookies and ice cream.”
Ingredients:
Malts: Floor Malted Maris Otter, British crystal, chocolate and caramel malts.
Other Grains: Whole Golden Oats
Other Sugars: Brown sugar, pureed raisins, Tremblay Farms
wildflower honey (this upstate NY farm actually sources honey for other beers like Brooklyn Local 2 and Brooklyn Grand Cru)
Hops: Willamette
OG: 19% Plato
ABV: 7.8% ABV
Note: Oliver briefly discusses working with Feed Your Soul as part of this lengthy video interview.

[...] Saturday we got up early enough so a painting contractor could come by to give us an estimate, then I ran some errands. Jill didn’t see me bring in the six bags of groceries, but she did catch me taking her flowers in, but she says she earned it because our first VD she got them later. Soon we headed into DC, Metro was fully open. I’d wanted to do lunch at the Pizzeria Paradiso in Georgetown, but WTOP reported traffic there was a mess, so we headed to the original Dupont location, since they still had a fair amount of beer. We started with the Insalata Italiana, then split the Bosco pizza (nice with added sausage). The beer was good, the standout was the “dessert beer” we shared: Brooklyn Cookie Jar Porter. [...]
