A fermentation tank is lowered in front of the future home of Non Sequitur Beer Project in Bushwick on March 18th
It’s March and we’ve already had three breweries open in the city this year: Endless Life, Other Half Domino Park, and TALEA Beer Co. Believe it or not, there are still more openings forthcoming as the pandemic slump starts to wind down. Here are three to keep an eye on for openings as the weather warms up.
Non Sequitur Beer Project: This roving brewing operation is going brick-and-mortar. Last week — with barely a week’s notice — he took delivery of a 20-barrel brewhouse from a closed brewery at his location on Wilson Avenue in Bushwick, Brooklyn. While there’s a lot of work to do before the brewery is operational, brewer Gage Siegel hoping to open the taproom soon so you can drink Non Sequitur beers on-site.
Last fall’s waterfront pop-up at Strong Rope’s future brewery in Red Hook
Strong Rope Red Hook: Late last summer, Gowanus, Brooklyn-based Strong Rope opened a pop-up taproom outdoors on New York Harbor in the same complex that houses the Red Hook Winery. That spot will return soon, but it’s is also where their new brewery and taproom will open later this year, with views of the Statue of Liberty and the passing Staten Island Ferry.
The future taproom at Alewife Brewing in Sunnyside, Queens
Alewife Brewing: They’ve been serving beer outdoors since late last fall, but Alewife Brewing’s brewery and taproom are well under construction in Sunnyside, Queens. Once completed, the spacious, mirror ball-adorned taproom with plentiful bar space overlooking the brewhouse will be serving the thirsty masses at the first brewery to open in Queens in nearly two years.
As always, we’ll let you know when each of these (and more!) openings happen.
