Brewed in Brooklyn Tour
Explore the story of Brooklyn beer brewing, past and present!
Discover how the rise and fall and rise again of the beer brewing industry tells a larger story about the neighborhood of Williamsburg, the borough of Brooklyn, and even the country as a whole. The tour starts at the Brooklyn Brewery, where you are get a private tour of the brewing facility and sample all of the beers on tap. From there, you will be taken to the heart of the old Brewers Row in East Williamsburg, once a German immigrant neighborhood known for its brew houses and beer gardens.
