- jonBarbados6 contributionsBest brewery tour I have done in the world!Great tour focusing on tasting rather than a too in depth "how to make beer" tour, best I have been on. Getting a can to take round with you, multiple tasters with how to taste notes etc. great guys there all with sense of humour and interaction. For the price too we were surprised at how much beer you get given and a free glass also! Best brewery tour I have done in the world. And the beer there is superb! Wish they shipped more to the UK!Visited January 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 22 January 2023
- Lauren FBrotton, United Kingdom2 contributionsBest Brewery Tour ever!!The best brewery tour we've ever been on. The staff made the tour really fun and interesting. Getting to try the experimental beers was really cool as well as getting an unexpected free glass at the end! The merch on offer was great as well as the selection of beers available to try in the tap room. We also stayed after for drag bingo which was incredible!Visited January 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 24 January 2023

- Andreas F1 contributionWorth a visit!Can absolutely recommend taking the tour, was both entertaining and interesting! All the people working there are really welcoming and cool. Highlight for me was getting to try some great beers you can't get anywhere else, both during the tour and after, in the bar🍻Visited April 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 17 April 2023
- KCinLGLos Gatos, California840 contributionsPretty Cool BreweryCool brewery near our hotel so we stopped by for a flight. Place was poppin’. The beers are good, and place gave positive vibes. It’s pretty big and if you don’t want to be in the main room where it’s pretty vibrant, you can sit at the front of the house upon entry; there are some single/double seats there. Although packed and busy, the workers move fast and there’s never a long wait or a long line to order your beer. Would definitely visit again when in town.Visited July 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 17 July 2023
- Tsubasa HJapan1 contributionWorth the trip to BrooklynFun to know how to brew beer. The length of the tour was just right. Got 4 beers and a gift glass for each person. Reasonably priced considering the quality of the beer. Def coming back when they move to the new place next year.Visited August 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 10 August 2023

Had some great Brooklyn brewery beer at an Artichoke Pizza spot, so keen to visit the brewery. New to New York as travellers from New Zealand. Quite the subway mission plus walking yet got there.
Met at the entrance by staff without any hellos or smiles just instructions to take a table, scan the code and order. He was not happy!
Followed his instructions and ordered our beer. Beer arrived from another staff member that made no attempts to engaged. Ordered another couple of beers and snack food with similar staff response. Felt like maybe we were not overly welcome.
The beer was great without a doubt, yet costumer service was very unwelcoming. Maybe it's just the Brooklyn way?
Bit disappointing. Would have been great to have had a conversation with the brewery staff about the beer they make.

Don’t go here if you mind sharing a bathroom with all genders. Zero privacy for woman and children. Will not go here again. Plus it’s highly overpriced.

I was visiting NYC and decided to do a trip out to Brooklyn to visit the brewery, as I am a fan of the beer and thought it would be a fun activity. I checked opening hours on the website, and it was apparent that the brewery offered a free tour on Sundays 1-6pm, so we decided to go and visit on this day. We got there, and the door was opening and there was a large number of people in the Brew House enjoying a pint. However, the man on the door was extremely rude and told us it was closed. When we asked why, he asserted that a private event was taking place and we were not allowed to enter... Ironically, there was a sign on the wall next to him saying that the brewery was open until 6pm, and it was now around 3:30pm.
I was annoyed, and disappointed that this man did not even apologise. I'm sure we just had an unlucky experience, and if you do actually manage to get inside the beer is pretty good. Customer service, not great... if I would you, I would double check before you go that you can actually get in. In fact, this extends to most places in Williamsburg. The vibe is cool and edgy on paper, but in reality it's pretentious and full of rude people, and there were lots of "private events" on at about 3 roof top bars we tried too. My advice would be to stick to Dumbo.

As part of a business occasion, a bunch of us came for the evening. We had the opportunity to tour the brewery and sample four different beers.

They do not. It is a brewery that offers some of the best craft beers to date. They put a lot of energy and hard work into perfecting them. There are several places near there that can take care of your GIN needs. Be sure to stop by and check out the tour that Brooklyn Brewery offers. It is an amazing place!

¡Hola! Tengo entendido que son solo en inglés, por lo menos cuando yo fui en octubre no había en español. De todas formas si no sabés tanto inglés como para interpretar todo lo que dice vas a disfrutar igual el tour viendo los equipos, el recorrido por la fábrica y al final podés comprar alguna de sus cervezas que son muy buenas!!

What time day and time did you go?
Planning to head there in a few weeks and don't fancy waiting in line in the cold.
Any advice on the quieter times to visit is appreciated.
Thanks

We went around 9:30 and there were no lines, but I would suggest going earlier. I think it closed at 11:00. We had plenty of time to enjoy two beers but never good to be around when the lights come on. Besides the super loud music, it was a fun time. We didn't do a tour, just went for drinks.
