Meet The Artist: Clara Kirkpatrick

September 19, 2021

If you’ve been to our Tasting Room recently, you’ve probably seen our incredible new mural from Clara Kirkpatrick, also known as @doodle-deli: View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Brooklyn Brewery (@brooklynbrewery) We recently added a new Tasting Room storage section with some clean walls, and figured it would be a great spot to show off a vision of our home borough. Clara’s bright colors, layered worlds, and personal knowledge of the neighborhood were a perfect fit. She said: “As someone who spent several years living in the Brooklyn Brewery neighborhood, I wanted to create a mural that felt authentic to the neighborhood. I want the experience of walking by this …

Lighting Up B at K5 with Smile Neon and Masaya Nakayama

September 6, 2020

In February 2020, we opened the doors of B at K5, a subterranean haunt in a 1920’s-era cellar fueled by Brooklyn beer, tacos and creative chaos in Tokyo’s historic Nihonbashi neighborhood. With fresh-pressed tortillas, the latest IPAs, an incredible team, the occasional mosh pit and Tokyo’s finest selectors on the decks, we almost had it all. But B is a powerhouse – an electric transmitter emitting contagious frequencies of collaborative energy across Japan – and we needed a bat signal. To get the job done right we teamed up with Hidenobu Takahashi of Smile Neon, one …

Sanitize Like A Brewer With Isopropyl Alcohol

July 12, 2020

Spray bottles of isopropyl are fixtures around our brewing and cellaring spaces, where they can be grabbed for a quick sanitizing spray. Brewing is all about keeping things clean, and these bottles are a key part of the continual work of keeping everything spotless. With Covid-19 putting pressure on supplies of hand sanitizer and soap, we wanted to pass along some tips on sanitizing your hands and surroundings with isopropyl alcohol. To start, make sure your isopropyl alcohol is 70% concentrated. Hand sanitizers above 60% are considered effective on Covid-19 and most pathogens, but for spray you’ll need to bump …

Milton Glaser

July 5, 2020

Milton Glaser, the graphic design icon who created the Brooklyn Brewery logo and helped make Brooklyn an international brand, died yesterday in Manhattan on his 91st birthday.  Milton was a mentor and a friend to me for 34 years.  My wife Ellen and I and our daughter Lily shared many dinners with Milton and his wife Shirley over those years.  My first meeting with Milton did not come easy.  I had talked to more than 30 design firms looking for someone to help me develop an identity and logo for Brooklyn Eagle Brewery, an idea I had cooked up with my downstairs Brooklyn neighbor, Tom Potter.  None of those firms had given me confidence they could do the job.  Ellen suggested I call the best in …

Black Lives Matter

June 7, 2020

We see you Brooklyn. We see you Minneapolis. We see you Louisville. We see you LA. We see you DC. We see you Seattle. We grieve you, George Floyd. Tony McDade. Breonna Taylor. Nina Pop. Ahmaud Arbery. Eric Garner. Botham Jean. Atatiana Jefferson. Kalief Browder. Sean Bell. Emmett Till. We’re in pain, we’re angry, and we’re scared. And we know that’s a microcosm of what black people feel every single day in the face of systemic oppression, injustice, and racism. We owe so much more and have a lot of learning and listening to do, and we’re committed. Right now, we can only say we stand with you and we see you…

Taking On Covid-19 Together

May 17, 2020

Usually when we say “hello from Brooklyn,” we think of our Williamsburg offices and Tasting Room, which we call home. Since the onslaught of Covid-19, it’s been a little different. Our home is closed, and while there’s still beer being shipped, almost all of us have scattered to practice social distancing like the rest of the world.  Across the globe, our teams are staying home. Our pets are overjoyed. Our families are, fortunately, safe. And we’ve got beer, sure. But it feels very weird being separated from our home…

Brooklyn Gives Back

May 10, 2020

Since closing our Williamsburg home in mid-March as COVID-19 began to affect New York City, we’ve watched the world change. Many beloved restaurants and bars are closed, and all of us are scrambling to make sense of a new normal that includes masks, separation and social distancing. For us, that’s included navigating a path forward for our business and our people. Unfortunately, we have furloughed much of our team. This allows our people to retain their health insurance and file for unemployment while we work to bring them back. Our block is quiet, except for the sound of clapping for our frontline healthcare workers every night at 7 PM.  We’ve been quiet, too. But we have been busy. Here’s a look at what we’re up to: We’re…

The Brooklyn Brewery Best Of 2019 List

January 26, 2020

2019 was the latest in a long line of years that started with, “well, it can’t be weirder than previous year, can it?” By the time we hit the finish line on December 31, the answer is clear: 2019 reached impressive new heights and bizarre new lows in the weirdness game. Among the oddity, still, we had some serious bright spots. We polled our team to see what their favorite parts of the year were, from film to beer and beyond. As usual, only some of them read the directions, but we’re still looking forward to digging through everyone’s favorites as we prepare for the crowning oddity of 2020.

See You At Stonewall: Tree

August 25, 2019

To celebrate Stonewall 50 and WorldPride in NYC, we gathered a group of remarkable people with their own Stonewall stories to tell. Read them all in our blog, and say hello when you see them at Stonewall. “Hi, my name is Tree. I’ve been a bartender here at the Stonewall- on and off- for almost fifty years.” Yes, fifty years. Tree just turned eighty, but still holds down his shifts behind the pine at The Stonewall Inn three nights a week with the same sharp, subversive wit and care that have made him a landmark in his own right over the past five decades. He’s been a part of the LGBTQ+ scene…

See You At Stonewall: Stacy Lentz

August 11, 2019

To celebrate Stonewall 50 and WorldPride in NYC, we gathered a group of remarkable people with their own Stonewall stories to tell. Read them all in our blog, and say hello when you see them at Stonewall. As a co-owner of The Stonewall Inn and CEO of The Stonewall Inn Gives Back Initiative, Stacy Lentz channels decades of outspoken activism to make the world better for LGBTQ+ people. At a young age, however, that never seemed possible. “I grew up in a small Christian town in the middle of a cornfield in Kansas,” she says. “I never thought I’d be able to come out without being scared to death of the social …

See You At Stonewall: Tatenda Ngwaru

July 14, 2019

To celebrate Stonewall 50 and WorldPride in NYC, we gathered a group of remarkable people with their own Stonewall stories to tell. Read them all in our blog, and say hello when you see them at Stonewall. As an intersex activist, Tatenda Ngwaru strongly believes in speaking out truthfully. “I remember seeing someone use a microphone, and being drawn to it.” She says, “I wanted to be loud, and to speak my truth.” But for much of her life growing up in Zimbabwe, that outspoken drive literally risked her life. Intersex people are born with ambiguous organs, so sex cannot be determined at birth…

Paolo Krystyan has been working at The Stonewall Inn as a bartender since around 2008. He’s earned a number of nicknames over the years, to the point that he’ll “answer to whatever you call out.” His warm, welcoming attitude have made him equal parts favorite bartender to regulars, and occasional therapist to those at different points in their coming…

Explore The World Of Sherry With House Of Lustau & Brooklyn Capataz

April 7, 2019

For many Americans, sherry is something of a mystery. It’s been relegated over the years to the very back of our national bar cart, only truly shining in serious cocktail bars or Edgar Allen Poe references. We believe it’s time for sherry to step forward once more, and luckily enough, House of Lustau agrees. We’re proud to introduce you to Brooklyn Capataz— but first you have to learn about sherry. Come with us. By definition, sherry is a fortified wine grown and produced in either Jerez de la Frontera, Sanlúcar de Barrameda or El Puerto de Santa María in Andalusia, Spain. All sherry starts as a wine produced from white grapes and is fortified with a grape spirit …
