On the weekends, you’ll find the brewery bar bustling with crowds, but weekdays have a more relaxed vibe. Be sure to wear closed-toed shoes for safety. If you plan on staying for a few drinks, be sure to check the Tasting Room hours, as it is not always open after tours.
You can find the brewery located in Williamsburg at the crossroads of Wythe Avenue and 11th Street.
