hopIQ found 10 beers with the same dry and citrusy character as Playa de Brooklyn. Playa de Brooklyn began as a small-batch tasting room release in 2022 and moved into the national year-round range in 2025. The pale lager is hopped with Hallertau and Saaz and carries natural lime flavour, which puts a clear note of fresh lime zest over light grain in the nose. On the palate a biscuity malt base meets a tart citrus edge, the body stays light, and the finish is dry. Brewmaster Garrett Oliver conceived it with the beaches of Playa del Carmen in mind. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
