State bellys up for brooklyn Brewery

New York State, or rather its taxpayers, are handing over $800,000 to the Brooklyn Brewery to assist the company's $6.5 million expansion project.

The money, according to founder Steve Hindy, will be used to help convert 13,500 square feet of currently vacant distribution space into a fermentation facility.

That should help the company increase production from 8,000 to 50,000 barrels a year.

The grant is part of the state's Downstate Revitalization Fund.
