Worth it, says Antonina. Warm an inviting, the relaxed taproom is the only place to be this summer.

What I wrote thereFold it away

Kings County Brewers Collective (KCBC) opened in 2016 and broke Bushwick’s dry spell. It was the first brick-and-mortar brewery Bushwick had seen in 40 long years.

The owners (three friends) needed a creative outlet and opened a brewery that would allow them to experiment with various beer styles. The rest, as they say, is history. Expect to find an impressive variety of lagers and IPAs.

The best way to try the wide array of brews is with a flight (which on Wednesdays will only run you $10). Warm an inviting, the relaxed taproom is the only place to be this summer.

Unpopular opinion. Controversial take. TALEA Beer Co. is the kind of spot that makes living in NYC worth the rent.

What I wrote thereFold it away

Kings County Brewers Collective (KCBC) opened in 2016, becoming the first brick-and-mortar brewery Bushwick had seen in 40 long years. The passion-project of three award-winning brewers who decided to open up shop, 100% of the beer is brewed and packaged on-site in Bushwick. Great beer and good vibes are all but guaranteed at this popular Brooklyn brewery. What I appreciate most is the attention to detail here. Nothing feels rushed or phoned in, and you can taste the difference in every bite.
