30 Best Craft Breweries in Brooklyn

Kings County Brewers Collective Brewery • $$
381 Troutman St, Brooklyn

“KCBC Brewery stands out as a beacon for beer aficionados, boasting an expansive space that instantly welcomes you with its warm and inviting vibe. The sheer size of the place allows for a diverse crowd, from casual drinkers to serious hop heads, all finding their niche in this vibrant atmosphere. The selection of beers is nothing short of amazing, with each brew showcasing the craftsmanship and passion of its creators. From rich, robust stouts to crisp, refreshing lagers, there's something for every palate. The vibe is lively yet relaxed, making it the perfect spot to unwind after a long day or kickstart a night out with friends.However, there's a catch—KCBC's focus is solely on their brews, meaning snack options are non-existent. While this might be a slight downside for those looking to pair their pint with a quick bite, the quality and variety of the beers on offer more than make up for it. It encourages guests to immerse themselves fully in the tasting experience, perhaps even prompting a visit to local eateries before or after. In essence, KCBC Brewery is a must-visit for its exceptional beers and the nice vibe it offers, even if it means planning your snacks elsewhere.“

“Being possessed of a very childlike palate that only enjoys extremely sweet and soda/juice/candy-type beverages, I used to hate beer and had never had one In even remotely enjoyed. However, trying some of Evil Twin's sours, I'm definitely a beer convert (well, Evil Twin's sours and similarly sweet beers, at least).“

Threes Brewing Gowanus Brewery • $$
333 Douglass St, Brooklyn

“An impressive selection of CBs ranging from refreshing flagship pilsners and lagers at approx. 5% alc. content, to bold IPAs with around 7% ABV, and even indulgent rich barrel-aged stouts boasting 10-13% ABV. The staff is efficient and welcoming, ensuring a pleasant experience. One tip: if you plan on ordering food, it's advisable to do so nearer to the entrance before proceeding to the counter beer seats to avoid missing out on the opportunity to pay with your credit card!“

TALEA Beer Co. - Cobble Hill Brewery • $$
61 Bergen St, Brooklyn

“This is everything you want in a local brewery. Open, chill interior; beertenders who are friendly and know what they’re pouring; beer, cocktails, snacks, and nonalcoholic options aplenty. *AND* it’s queer, woman, and veteran owned.Also, the Fan Fan Tart Disco deserves to be in a museum. It’s that good.“

Other Half Brewing Company Brewery • $$
195 Centre St, Brooklyn

“Other Half is located a block from the apartment building I live on. Ever since I moved here nearly three years ago and tried one of their IPA’s, I haven’t been able to drink beers from other breweries.This might seem like an exaggerated statement, but it is true. Their beers are at a completely different league than anything I’ve ever tried. World class.“

BKE Kombucha Brewery •
310 Meserole St, Brooklyn

“Such an amazing and welcoming atmosphere. The owners were such laid back chill people. They educated us on how they make their kombucha. Definitely made with passion. A must try! We left with kombucha to stock our fridge. Also they now are offering food and it was to die for. The pickled string beans and preserved lemons they used to cook our food with had flavor bombs of greatness. Cheers to Saleena and Lawrence!“

Strong Rope Brewery Gowanus Brewery • $$

“Wish they had more of a beer selection, especially with all the breweries in the area, but the atmosphere here is totally unique and worth it. The donuts were to die for, especially for only $4, and 5 flight glasses for $18 is also a great deal. Interesting space in the back for music meetups, we really enjoyed it. Thanks!“

Kato Sake Works Brewery • $$
379 Troutman St, Brooklyn

“Love and highly recommend this place. The sake is delicious and approachable for sake newbies, the staff is super knowledgeable and passionate, and the vibe is chill and dog friendly. The brewery tour is a fantastic deal (it includes a few drinks) and super informative—they explain the process so well that by the end of the tour you’re left with clear ideas about how sake is made and various factors to look at when identifying sakes.“

Wild East Brewing Co. Brewery • $$
623 Sackett St, Brooklyn

“It feels like the area has become saturated with high alcohol hazy IPAs, which I do enjoy, but this place offers more variety for the everyday beer lover. Very friendly staff, lots of indoor and outdoor space and if you catch it on the right day, you get an awesome collaboration with some of the cities most underrated food trucks and tasty bites. Great way to spend some time. Just wish there was more regular TV viewing for sports, but that's just my bias.“

Endless Life Brewing Brewery • $$
585 Franklin Ave, Brooklyn

“I stopped by Endless Brewing Company in search of their Kölsch style beer “Construed to waste your time”. The Kölsch was everything it should be crisp with a light yellow hue and served at a perfectly chilled temperature to bring out its best flavor. Best I’ve have had outside of Cologne Germany. Endless Life Brewing in located in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn and has been set up with its neighborhood in mind. The perfect place to come and sit with friends for a chat or play couple games. Their back patio is softly lit and has picnic tables perfect for night of catching up and maybe grabbing a small bite. I had their homemade mac and cheese and I swear they had my grandmother in back making it.“

“My daughter was recently married in Greenpoint Brooklyn. After contacting several bars/restaurants trying to make arrangements for a welcome reception, I came upon Threes Brewing. Angie, the Director of private events, was extremely informative and easy to work with. Everything from planning the menu, to decor, and various odds and ends that go into making a successful party we’re met by Angie . Dave lead the nights celebration along with an exceptional and attentive wait staff . I could not have asked for anything more perfect. And, by far and away, they were the most reasonably priced venue. Great bang for our buck.“

Brooklyn Kura Brewery • $$
68 34th St, Brooklyn

“My partner and I visited two weeks ago and had a phenomenal experience!Carolina was a server and was super knowledgeable about the sake and friendly. She and Kyle were very thorough about answering all our questions about the process of brewing sake (and shochu!) and how Kura develops their food and beverage menu. It was a fairly quiet day, so they (and Joanne!) really took their time making us feel at home.It was St. Patrick's Day and Kyle made some cute experimental shots with greenery from the local market to share with us.The presentation of everything in this bar was cute! We loved the use of scientific beakers as decanters. We had a flight of everything on tap, as well as some cocktails and the pickled fruit and veg platter. The pickled strawberries in particular were delightful and a nice compliment to the sake.My recommendations: Sunset (sake) and Kakariko (cocktail).Will definitely be back next time we are in New York! It's tragic they don't have a Boston outpost, but I'm glad some of their sake is available locally... and we got some bottles to take home.Thank you everyone so much for the great time!“

“They make great beers, they do all over the board in terms of beers. They specialize in IPA but do all sorts of beer. Very industrial setting. A handful of tables but lots of standing area. It was pretty quiet on the Saturday night we were there and chatted with the brewer. Oh and they have board and card games.Fun chill low key vibe in an industrial setting.“

If that wasn't enough, they had an NA IPA on tap that tasted indistinguishable from an alcoholic beer. Great bartender too. I even liked the music :)“
