Yassky's Fridge
Apparently David Yassky isn't participating in the Brooklyn Brewery boycott.
A very revealing piece in the new Brooklyn foodie mag, Edible Brooklyn, takes a sneak peek into the Yassky family fridge.
Complete with a running narrative, the City Councilmember and 11th District Congressional candidate had this plug for Brooklyn Brewery:
Brooklyn Brewery Beer
They are the model of a community-friendly business. And they have a great product.

NoLandGrab: The Brooklyn Brewery boycott hasn't been easy for local beer lovers, who decry brewery owner Steve Hindy's public statements in favor of Atlantic Yards, and his support for Brooklyn Bridge Park (the "park" that must be self-sustaining while Ratner's Atlantic Yards receives a billion-plus dollars in subsidies).
Brooklyn Brewery wears the "community-friendly" label a bit more uncomfortably of late; just ask those who are being displaced by eminent domain, like Freddy's Bar & Backroom, and neighborhood activists who are fighting to save Brooklyn Bridge Park from luxury condos.
