In breweries, small is big. Here's how two Brooklynites took on the giants and lived to tell the tale.

Come to Beer School: Bottling Success at the Brooklyn Brewery. Meet founders Tom Potter and Steve Hindy (who before becoming a craft brewmaster worked as an AP foreign correspondent in the Middle East.) We'll taste 6 craft brews and have small plates of lamb, cheese, crab, pumpkin risotto, and chocolate.
