A new beer coming out:

Coney Island has the beach, Boardwalk and a minor league ballpark - and now its own beer.

Schmaltz Brewing Co., which makes Jewish-themed He'brew ale, is launching Coney Island Lager as a tribute to the storied Brooklyn neighborhood of sideshows, sun and surf.

"We wanted to do something as Brooklyn as possible," said Schmaltz founder Jeremy Cowan, who lives in Prospect Heights. "It's a perfect way to tie into the history and tradition as well as the present and future."

The first bottles of Coney are being sold at the Freak Bar on Surf Ave. and a few other bars around the borough.

The beer - the first of a planned line of lagers - is made in tiny 50-keg batches at a small brewery in Clinton Hill.

It has an "approachable" taste that should appeal to a wide cross section of drinkers, Cowan said.

"This one is definitely a crowd-pleaser," he added.
