Urban Oyster - NYC Walking Tours

Brewed in Brooklyn Walking Tour
Join us for a walking tour that explores 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. We begin the tour with a visit at the Brooklyn Brewery and sample various beers on tap, and then we head over to the heart of the old Brewers Row in East Williamsburg, which was once a German immigrant neighborhood that was known for its brewhouses and beer gardens.  We check out a few of the last remaining brewery buildings from the 19th century; talk about what happened to the local brewing industry; explore the diverse cultures and mom and pop businesses that make the neighborhood what it is today; and discover how beer brewing has returned to Brooklyn.  Along the way, we'll visit a couple of restaurants and merchants, hear the stories of residents past and present, and, of course, have a taste of some of the finest food and beer Brooklyn has to offer today.

Tour Highlights:

• A private tour of the Brooklyn Brewery, plus a taste of eight beers on tap.
• A look at two remaining 19th century brewery buildings that were once part of the old Brewers Row.
• Different types of pizza and lager beer - mmm....
• Stories of brewing, bottling, and even bootlegging.
• A beautiful cathedral-like church that was built by the German immigrants in the neighborhood.
• A stop by ABC Beverage Distributors to learn about how beer gets to customers today versus in the past.
• Tastings of traditional German beer and Brooklyn beer with gourmet small plates at Huckleberry Bar.
