Brewed in Brooklyn Tour
Explore Beer, Breweries, and the Legacy of Brooklyn's Beer Brewing Industry

Toast your way through the past and present of beer brewing in Brooklyn! Once home to 48 breweries, this ancient and tasty trade disappeared from the borough in the 1970's, only to be reborn in recent years with craft breweries leading the way. On this tour, we'll take a behind-the-scenes look at how beer is made at one of Brooklyn's present-day breweries, explore the pre-prohibition era as we check out 19th century brewery buildings and a church, and share stories of the German immigrants who worked and lived in the neighborhood in those days, and, of course, have plenty of craft beer and food along the way.

Tour Highlights:

• A private tour of a working brewery plus beer tasting.
• Visit two remaining 19th century brewery buildings that were once part of the old Brewers Row.
• Lunch: Pizza and lager beer - mmm....
• Stories of brewing, bottling, and even bootlegging.
• Stories and history of the German Neighborhood
  
• More delicious craft beer at a bar in Williamsburg.
