I searched the USPTO and did not find any trademark for the term Brooklyn Beer:

Here are 5 pending domain names on which The Brooklyn Brewery Corporation has filed UDRP on:

BrooklynBeer.com

BrooklynBeers.com

BrooklynAle.com

BrooklynBrew.com

BrooklynBrews.com

The Brooklyn Brewery Corporation filed two other UDRP but the owners of both of those domain have transferred the domain names to company and the UDRP’s were dropped:

BrooklynPilsner.com

BrooklynLager.com

The domain name BrooklynBrewery.com has an original creation date of 1996 and has been owned by the company since at least 2001.

It should be interesting to see how and we will keep our eye on all of these cases.
