7 New York Breweries To Visit In Honor Of St. Patrick's Day

Brooklyn Brewery, Williamsburg

The renowned Brooklyn Brewery, located in the heart of Williamsburg, has become a staple in most New Yorker's homes and bars. It was founded in 1988 and has been producing quality brews ever since. The leaders of the brewery have published several books on beer and food pairings, and the world's best breweries. Their Tasting Room also serves as a venue for community meetings, and employees serve on non-profit boards like Prospect Park Alliance and the Brooklyn Historical Society. They're open Monday through Thursday from 5-7pm for Small Batch Tours, have Happy Hour every Friday, and are open Saturdays and Sundays for tastings. We're sure you've tried their beer before, but stop by the brewery and taste it fresh from the tap. Our Recommendation: Brooklyn Lager [Photo via]
