What You Can Expect
At the turn of the century, Brooklyn was considered a ‘Milwaukee of the East,’ providing a home to approximately 40 breweries. But by the early 1970′s there were zero breweries operating in Brooklyn. In past years new breweries have started popping up and are reinventing the crafts of their ancestors. Discover the story in depth as you follow your local guide on a walking tour through one of Brooklyn’s favorite local breweries, where you’ll take an exclusive tour and sample the delicious brew.
Next, head to the birthplace of Brooklyn’s brewing scene, where you’ll explore some of the historic 19th-century buildings that once housed brewing operations. Hear stories from your guide about the German immigrants that brewed the beer and lived in the neighborhood. Then visit the Church of Most Holy Trinity – St Mary, a beautiful church dating back to the mid-18th century. Enjoy a full lunch (included) at a traditional pizza shop that uses the freshest ingredients and end the day at a friendly neighborhood bar to sample several more local brews.
