Set your watch for Island Time. Brooklyn’s Threes Brewing has opened a bar on Governors Island for the summer. The bar features a lineup of their beers, wine, cider and non-alcoholic beverages. Food is also available from their restaurant partner, Popina.
Transmitter Brewing has opened its new tasting room at Building 77 in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The brewery had moved from its original Long Island City location earlier this year to the new space, which is housed in the same building as Russ & Daughters’ new Brooklyn outpost and a Brooklyn Roasting Company kiosk, with other food vendors and manufacturers coming soon. Transmitter moved all of their production equipment, piece by piece, to the new space, but what sets it apart is the large tasting room – the first for the farmhouse-focused brewery.
Strap in for a hoppy ride. Brooklyn’s Other Half Brewing holds the second annual edition of their Green City festival on Saturday, June 22nd at Industry City in Sunset Park. It’s a celebration of the beer style Other Half is best known for: IPAs. Brewers of IPAs from all over the world will be in attendance, and it’s a great opportunity to get to try some hoppy, some hazy, and some juicy brews you can’t normally get your hands on.

Other Half opens near Rochester
Brooklyn’s Other Half Brewing has officially opened their new upstate brewery in Bloomfield, New York, about twenty miles southeast of Rochester. The 8,000 square foot space is where they’ve been hosting can and bottle releases since acquiring the old Nedloh Brewing facility last year, but now the brewhouse is up and running, making familiar and unique Other Half offerings that are served in their expansive taproom. The new site will also be home to the brewery’s new sour program in development, with former New Belgium cellarman Eric Salazar at the helm. It’s the first of several new projects for Other Half to open – a second Brooklyn taproom and a DC offshoot are in the works as well.
The craft beer industry generates nearly $1.4 billion in economic impact to New York City, and $5.4 billion statewide, according to a new Economic Impact Study commissioned by the New York State Brewers Association. The 2018 data shows that the over 400 breweries in the state contribute significantly through spending and jobs at both breweries and in allied industries, from bars to farms.
