See Brooklyn Brewery's massive new Williamsburg home

Brooklyn Brewery is moving from its North 11th Street tasting room to a new headquarters at 1 Wythe Avenue near the current location. The new site is nearly four times larger and is designed like a campus with a rooftop terrace bar, expanded brewing facilities, and a full kitchen. A large ground-floor Main Hall includes flexible seating, retail space, and doors that open directly to the street. The fourth-floor terrace offers skyline views and greenery. Food becomes a major focus through a partnership with chef Michael Ayoub, featuring Neapolitan-style pizza and beer-friendly dishes, plus a demo kitchen with livestreaming for culinary events. The beverage program expands beyond beer to include wine and cocktails.

"Thirty years after opening its original tasting room on North 11th Street, Brooklyn Brewery just revealed fresh renderings and new details for its upcoming move to 1 Wythe Avenue, a sprawling new headquarters that's set to begin a soft opening later this summer before a full grand opening celebration this fall."

"The new space, located just four blocks from the current brewery, is nearly four times the size of the longtime Williamsburg location and sounds more like a full-on campus than a traditional taproom. There will be a rooftop terrace bar, expanded brewing facilities, a full kitchen, event spaces, immersive AV systems and significantly more room for the brewery's famously eclectic programming."

"The renderings show a bright industrial space that keeps the familiar warehouse aesthetic intact, but adds massive windows, greenery and a much more open indoor-outdoor feel. The centerpiece is a huge ground-floor "Main Hall" with flexible seating, retail space and walls of doors that open directly to the street."

"Perhaps the biggest change: food is finally becoming a major part of the experience. The brewery is partnering with chef Michael Ayoub, founder of Brooklyn pizza institution Fornino, on a menu centered around Neapolitan-style pizza and beer-friendly dishes. There will also be a dedicated demo kitchen with livestreaming capabilities for culinary events and collaborations."
