The Corcoran GroupDecember 2, 2013Be sure to sign up for a brewery tour as soon as you arrive, as they fill up pretty quickly during the weekends. With beer tokens costing $20 for 5, it's a great way to sample a wide variety of beers.
Erik CintronMay 31, 2015Awesome brewery U pay with tokens up front and then go get all the beers u want. Has the big tables. Brewery tours from 10$ to free. No food but you can order from local places. Cool little gift shop
Mariama RentoyAugust 17, 2014The beers that we tried weren't that great but it's a nice experience to go inside and see the crowd. Buy the 5 for $20 beer tokens and you're set. Find the german bar on 3rd street afterwards!
A great spot to sample the local microbrewery's selection! You can bring your own food and play Jenga or cards at a table. We've always enjoyed the tour, its more of the history than a walking tour.
WhiskeyAvengerJune 17, 2018The brewery that put Brooklyn Craft Beer on the map. Do a tour,and stick around after to drink a few of their offerings. Personal fave is Black Chocolate Stout.- It's impossible to go wrong with a trip here. Enjoy a tour or grab a brew or two with your friends inside at the beer garden. A lively spot on the weekends.
Yuri TeixeiraOctober 13, 20175 tokens for 20 dollars in the weekends is just great! Try the sour beers! And the 4 tokens worth Belgian triple is totally worth it, specially because they give you the glass!
Paige CDecember 19, 2023Lots of rules and strict time constraints here, but once you get passed that, it’s a pretty good time. The Blue Ribbon fried chicken was among the best I’ve ever had!
Leticia FrancaSeptember 18, 2016Great place to drink a beer and get to know more about the history of Brooklyn Brewery! The tour is free and each beer is about 5 dollars. Our guide, Mike, was great! Hilarious stories and lots of fun- Patrick ScobleJune 17, 2020Fun place to come with friends. Lively atmosphere with games and lots of beer. Take the free tour and enjoy tasting as many beers as possible.
Valerie SJuly 17, 2016Get here EARLY on weekends! Once the line forms outside, you can't enter until people leave. Great for groups (once you can snag a table). Lively and fun atmosphere.
Io As SoonApril 4, 2019Awesome atmosphere, very tasty beer, great staff, you can plan a visit, assist to a live music show and buy both beers and gifts from the shop
Stina P.September 3, 2016great tasting room stop if in wburg. they offer free tours and it's always cool to hear the 80s story of the wburg location's expansion into a national brand.
Rob WawrzynczakAugust 26, 2017Fantastic small batch tour, was really focused on the history and beer tasting more than the actual brewing process. Sampled some fantastic beers
Simon CheadleMarch 10, 2019Great beers and an interesting (but short) tour. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Williamsburg
Men's Health MagOctober 2, 2014After the brewery tour, trade in tokens for brews like the ’55 Pennant Ale, congregate with your beer-loving brethren in a packed cafeteria, and play a few hands of poker while you enjoy the buzz. Read more
Rebecca BrownDecember 21, 2014Free tour of the Brewery! Why wouldn't you!?! Be sure to take a beer with you; don't worry, it's encouraged. If you're lucky to get Ian as a tour guide, you're winning at life.
Emiliano ViscarraDecember 28, 2015Excellent place to get to taste a lot of varieties of Brooklyn Beer and get to know the factory on a mini free tour.
Vedrana PlesticOctober 8, 2019You can’t go to Brooklyn without visiting the brewery. These boys would agree! Although in terms of beer selection I prefer some of the other places nearby like Tørst!
Mariana Stuginski BarbosaSeptember 5, 2015Buy the tokens before ordering your beer! You can buy food from food truck outside! I love their beer, so of course this was perfect for me.
Brooks DoyneAugust 18, 2013The deal is great:$20 for 5 brews. The brews are great and they offer a lot of beers that are only available at the brewery. The line is entirely too long. Need to find a way to serve more people- Fodor's TravelAugust 21, 2015If you want a behind-the-scenes look at one of the city’s famous breweries, now is the time. The Brooklyn Brewery, located in Williamsburg, hosts a wide range of free tours on Saturdays and Sundays.
Come for the cornholing competition on the last Tuesday of the month, an experience not to be missed. Watch out for the neighbors with the shared backyard - boy can they throw!
IvBeenThere.comMarch 31, 2015One of my favorite things to do in a new city is to explore the microbrewery scene and try as many different brews as possible. Read more
- egleMay 22, 2016This is a very similar experience to many other brewery rooms in the country, so nothing unique. However, the beer is excellent and the value is great for New York ($20 for 5 beers).
It's a bit of a misnomer. The brewery in Brooklyn only brews the local "big bottles" and nothing else. The tour is quick. You buy wooden beer tokens. They used to be cheap.
Francisco Gutiérrez JeriaSeptember 21, 2018Beautiful place in Williamsburg, great beers and nice people. Get there early because it can get very crowded.
Justin BartonMarch 2, 2016I've been here several times, but this past weekend the brewery was like a combination of a dog park and a nursery. Let's keep our children and pets at home please!- Fodor's TravelSeptember 9, 2015The Brooklyn Brewery stepped onto the scene in 1988, first bringing beer to Brooklyn from a brewery in upstate New York and then, in 1996, from this former matzoh factory in Williamsburg.

Kaitlyn EMay 21, 2012Great for happy hour on Fridays. If you come on a weekend get there early to snag a table, then get a pizza delivered and relax and enjoy all the greatness the brewery has to offer!
Josh CollinsApril 14, 2014Great spot. The tour was worth going on. The line to get beer was unpredictable on a Sunday. Sometimes short, sometimes crazy long. Mad dog the line until it's short or get 2 beers while you're there
Greg TaggartAugust 6, 2014Can't go wrong with any beer here. Plus, the tour is amazing. Make sure you snag a beer for the tour though!!
Daniel PorterOctober 6, 2014Really busy on the weekends but the atmosphere is worth it. Long beer lines so considering ordering multiple beers at once.
Nicole RovigFebruary 25, 2019Free tour. Good street parking. Warm staff! Dress young. Bring own food. Go for the Brooklyn Defender.
Amanda RellaJuly 17, 2017Cool spot to hang out and go for a free tour. Line can be long to get in but moves fairly quickly. The tour guides are really funny.
Brew YorkAugust 3, 2011The brewery is currently in the midst of a multi-million dollar expansion that will boost its capacity in the borough. Right now, much of their beer is brewed at F.X. Matt Brewing in Utica, NY.
Samantha JoFebruary 24, 2015Arrive early if you want to get a spot/picnic table. Ask the "bartenders" for a sample if you're not sure what beer you want. And forgo the tour - it's not that great.
Bring a pizza (or order one) and bring a nice game like Cards Against Humanity. Meet up with some friends or meet some new ones! Drink some great beer and have a really good time!
Lina BodestadJuly 21, 2013The first-come, first-served guided tour on Saturday was excellent, witty and very inspiring. Highly recommend a visit if you're in the neighborhood.
VegNews MagazineAugust 29, 2012Almost all of the beers are vegan! But watch out for the brewery’s Brooklyn Local 2 and Brooklyn BAMboozle beers, along with several past Brewmaster’s Reserve drinks, which may contain honey.
Tony XerriApril 15, 2019Its beer. Good beer. Beer you should drink. Immediately. Maybe a flight? Get a flight. Both of them. Simultaneously. Drink it.
Love this place. Its a Williamsburg institution. Visit before they move their location after 20 years! $20 for 5 tokens gets you 5 beers!
Daniel RichardsJune 7, 2016Free tour of the brewery, free entry and excellent choice of beers to try. Well done Brooklyn brewery.
Mallory NapolitanoSeptember 19, 2016Good fun, plenty of beers on tap, bit too 'college crowds' getting drunk at times, but worth a visit
Laura BonelliSeptember 13, 2015Favorite evening spot in Williamsburg. So chilled. Beers are fantastic and the atmosphere is so relaxed. Loved it.- Mikahla VicinoApril 15, 2018Beer tokens are $5 each, and each token gets you a beer! Solid deal. Gets really crowded on a Saturday afternoon but the line moves fast.
Natalie KFebruary 2, 2020Great selection of beers! Free tours! A great place to hang out on Saturday.
Angie GannonFebruary 20, 2011Get there early if you want to get a table! The tour is interesting and guide is very funny (and cute). You don't learn a lot f beer brewing, but more about the history of the business. Def worth the
