Brewed in Brooklyn Tour at Williamsburg, Brooklyn

Discover the story of the rise and fall and rise again of the beer brewing industry in the borough of Brooklyn. On this walking tour, we head over to East Williamsburg to check out some of the last remaining 19th century brewery buildings; explore the diverse cultures and mom and pop businesses that make the neighborhood what it is today; learn about what happened to local beer producers; and discover how beer brewing has returned to Brooklyn. We’ll also have a private tour of Greenpoint Beerworks (makers of Heartland Brewery Beer and Kelso) and a sampling of their beers. Along the way, we’ll also visit a couple of restaurants and merchants, hear the stories of residents past and present, and, of course, sample some of the finest beer Brooklyn has to offer today.
