Proudly pouring as the official beer and brewery of since 2022!

Together with , we’re raising a glass all year long with The Stonewall Inn IPA. Every sip helps support The Stonewall Inn Gives Back Initiative () and their work uplifting q***r communities around the world.

When you say one game, but everyone’s way too competitive. Keep some East IPA on deck ✔️

Why can’t renovations be done with the snap of your fingers? Cause good things take time (and this one’s almost there)!

We’re just a few months out from opening our new Brooklyn home, and trust us, it’ll be worth it. Oh, and did we mention there’s a rooftop?

Looks like a beer, foams like a beer, tastes like a beer... you get the idea.

Meet our Non-Alcoholic Brooklyn Original — a bold, toasty, and undeniably smooth brew with a dry-hopped amber character. Give it a try.

Not saying we built a brewery in a month, but… we’re building a brewery in a month.

It’s all very technical: you lift the tanks, you place the tanks, you hope you placed the tanks correctly, and you have brewmaster Garrett Oliver nearby just in case!

We’ve officially upgraded to more room for experiments (and questionable ideas that somehow turn into great beer). This should be fun.

You can now choose Brooklyn, no matter the occasion with our non-alcoholic lineup. Because cutting back on alcohol doesn’t mean cutting back on flavor. That’s why we created non-alcoholic versions of the beers you already know and love — whether you’re an OG Brooklyn fan, a non-alc aficionado, or sober-curious, we have a brew for you!

Loved our Brooklyn Special Effects flavors? Don’t worry, those award-winning brews didn’t go anywhere. We’ve just given them a fresh look and new names.

“What were you like in the 90s?”

Building a brewery from scratch, hauling tanks into Williamsburg, and helping kick off what would become a whole lot of great beer.

Another well-deserved honor for our Brewmaster. Garrett Oliver has been recognized with a Lifetime Achievement Award from InsideHook’s The Spill, celebrating icons who’ve changed the drinks world for the better.

Over the years, Garrett has helped shape how beer is brewed, written about, and enjoyed. But ask him what he’s most proud of, and he’ll point somewhere bigger, "Overall, I think my top accomplishment has been the founding and stewarding of the Michael James Jackson Foundation for Brewing and Distilling. We’ve sent more than 70 people of color, many immigrants themselves or from immigrant families, to brewing and distilling school.”

And as he puts it, “Beer is great. But you make it, you drink it, and then it’s gone.” The future of the craft keeps moving, and Garrett is helping lead Brooklyn Brewery into our next chapter as we prepare to open our new home just a few blocks away later this summer.

Congrats to the boss, !

We found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. It's Brooklyn gold.

Where there were once mounds of snow, the melt has revealed something much better: Summer Ale.

After nearly 30 years at Brooklyn Brewery, Sherwin Chang has pretty much seen it all. Joining in 1996 as employee #61, he’s worn just about every hat here from accounting, HR, IT, and more. Around the brewery, he’s basically Mr. Brooklyn.

Naturally, we asked him to share a few stories from the early days (and we mean EARLY). Let’s just say… they get interesting. Hear what he had to say ⬆️

We always knew he belonged in the Hall of Fame. Now it’s official: our Brewmaster Garrett Oliver has been inducted into ’s Hall of Fame.

For 32 years, Garrett has been brewing legends (Black Chocolate Stout, anyone?), driving innovation here at Brooklyn Brewery, designing breweries, writing essential beer literature, winning a James Beard Award (and then some), and helping push craft beer forward around the world.

Around here, he’s also the guy who’s spent three decades shaping what this brewery is all about: curiosity, great beer, and a deep love for the craft and the community around it. His passion for brewing, teaching, and lifting others up has left a mark far beyond our brewhouse.

Safe to say we’re pretty proud to have him on the team. Congratulations, , very well deserved!
