The Brooklyn Kitchen located not very far from the Brooklyn Brewery hosts many instructional classes in the demonstration kitchen in back of the store. They've held classes teaching everything from home brewing, to pumpkin carving to cup-cake making and decorating. This video shouldn't surprise you coming from these guys. This video walks you through cutting the cork and top of the bottle off of a champagne bottle and a bottle of the LOCAL 1. Using a huge saber in the Brooklyn Kitchen this guy literally slices the top portion of the bottle off that still has the cork stuck in it. This seems a little too dangerous for the regular craft beer drinker, especially after drinking a bottle or two of the Local 1 which is about 8% alcohol by volume.

Dinner Cooked By Brooklyn Brewery Brewmaster Garrett Oliver
On Thursday January 14th 2011, Brooklyn Brewery brewmaster, Garrett Oliver cooked a special beer school dinner at the Brooklyn Kitchen in Williamsburg Brooklyn. Garrett paired 5 courses of world class food with 5 different world class Brooklyn Brews. LIcraftbeer was there to experience Garrett Oliver's personality, expertise, his food and his awesome beers. Heres a look at the menu that night:
One beer that was served during the dinner was a brew that is not sold to the general public. This brew was served with an amazingly tastey stuffed quail, and goes by the name "wild 1". Wild 1 is Brooklyn's
Local 1 aged in oak barrels with a special strand of wild yeast added. This brew had a very similar dry taste that the Local 1 has, but add in some perfectly balanced oak aged tannins and another couple percent abv (alcohol by volume) and this brew is awesome. Perhaps one day this brew will be available for everyone to try. Until then the only way to stumble upon this brew is at the brewery it self or at special Brooklyn Brewery events. 
The stuffed quail and wild one.
