Profile

It seems like it should've been here for decades, but the now-famous Brooklyn Brewery has only been around since 1987, setting up shop in this ivy-colored, yellow-brick warehouse in 1996. The brewery opens its doors to the public on Friday nights, allowing visitors to imbibe surrounded by enormous vats of prized brews like Monster Ale and Brooklyn Brown. For hops aficionados, there are free hourly tours of the brewery on Saturdays between 1-4pm. In the spring, check out the brewery's annual Pigfest barbecue in the Tobacco Warehouse at Brooklyn Bridge Park. — Maura Egan

Extra

Brooklyn Brewery's label was designed by Milton Glaser, who also designed the "I Love New York" motto.

lazy, cheap weekend event

I went here with a couple friends on a Sunday afternoon. The beer is cheap and the atmosphere is chill. If you are looking to do something during the weekend that does not require a lot of money I recommend going to Williamsburg. Check out McCarren Park, all the shops on Bedford Avenue and then hit up the Brewery. The beer is cold to perfection and you can also order pizza.

Go for the beer, not the "tour"

And eat first! The "tour" wasn't exactly a tour. You went into a room and listened to a woman talk over machinery for 30 minutes, which included talk of middle eastern peacekeepers and hostages being killed. In our experience, a tour must involve 2 or more rooms, and at least walking 20 ft. In one room is a bar, the other room has vats. there is no tour. no "tasting no "flights" although you buy chips for tastings but you are just buying beers. they need to work on their tour experience. and hearing most of their beer is brewed in utica new york is a little disappointing...
