Next Exit: Brooklyn - A Craft Beer Reunion
Ойын-сауық
In Episode 3, Hop Culture Magazine Founder and Untappd Director of Strategic Sales and Media Kenny Gould heads to Brooklyn, arguably the best borough in New York. 😜 Feel free to prove us wrong!
The entire Hop Culture team called New York home for many years, so in a way this was a little bit of a homecoming for Gould.
In Brooklyn, Gould hits up one of the most important breweries on the East Coast (hint: Other Half), one of the best craft beer bars in the country with a former Hop Culture alum (hint:Tørst), and much more.
If you’re looking for breweries with some of the highest-rated IPAs and mixed-fermentation beers in the country (not to mention top-notch coffee and spirits), taprooms redefining what it means to be a beer consumer, and an elite beer bar with spiritual guides instead of bartenders, you should probably cross the bridge into Brooklyn.
In classic New York fashion: This is a very big city yet with a small, tight-knit beer community that’s always coming up with something new.
As the Hop Culture team liked to say when they shared a beer, “May it always be!”

OH is absolutely top notch, at home and in person at the taproom. What they have been able to do to sustain their quality while growing is nearly unmatched. Talea hit the nail on the head with their self-description. Really solid beer with great service and a unique in-person experience. Going to their taproom last year in Brooklyn, my wife and I had an awesome time and had amazing service. On another note, as a male beer nerd, I appreciate their movement toward other demographics (women, non-beer drinkers) without isolating or “offending” the typical crowd (white male), I think they balance this very well and it shows in their speech about their brewery and culture.
Other Half and Finback are always on my list when I visit Brooklyn. You were so close to Wild East, Strong Rope, Threes, and Grimm. You need to spend more time walking and drinking 🙂 Come to Cincinnati next!

@@untappd4695streetside is unmatched in cincinnati IMO. Might as well come to Columbus while you are on OH (only 90 minute drive, and you can hit Dayton on the way - Branch and Bone, Little Fish). Columbus has Columbus Brewing Co, Derive (my favorite), Hoof Hearted, Seventh Son, Combustion, Wolf’s Ridge, Land Grant, Somewhere in Particular, Dankhouse, Jackie O’s, and Pretentious to name a few.
LOVE this series! Would love to see STL (Schlafly, Urban Chestnut, etc)

Love Other Half, I've been to their DC Location a few times and have had many of their canned beers. Great location for untappd. I'd suggest another little secret nitch to check out is Spy Glass Brewing located in NH.

First time going to finback in Glendale Queens, on a Uber it was literally the end of a very residential street a little surreal.
Can't wait to be back in Brooklyn to try all of these! I love how Finback is also going in new directions, especially with coffee

Thanks for including Other Half, their beers are incredible. I think their same-day home delivery service in Brooklyn got me through the pandemic single-handedly. Very sad that I don't live close by anymore, I miss their brews something fierce.

What do you recommend to drink?
I've been to all the breweries you visited - though I went to the Domino Park location for Other Half. They're all good, and of course you couldn't get to all the breweries in Brooklyn, but the one that most deserved a spot, in my opinion, is Strong Rope. Their Gowanus location is a short walk from Finback, and their Red Hook place on the waterfront, with great views of the Statue of Liberty, is a must-visit brewery taproom. The beer is excellent, too.
Fun fact: Tørst is Norwegian and means thirst or thirsty. Just wish some of those Brooklyn breweries would export to Norway! 🍻

Wild East and Threes should definitely be on this list. Other Half and Grimm got hype during the hazy boom but the aforementioned breweries are doing better stuff.

Also from that song “Is there a place for the hopeless sinner Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own?” Do you think maybe he was talking about white people who gentrify neighborhoods like Brooklyn? 🤔
