Brooklyn Brewery
Location: Brooklyn, New York
Founded: 1987

With nearly 30 active beers brewing today, Brooklyn Brewery is likely one of the most important craft breweries in the country. Starting as a small project in 1984, the company has been a remarkable success story and an inspiration for countless others trying their hand at the brewing game. Current brewmaster Garrett Oliver also gave the craft beer industry a boost with his 2003 book, “The Brewmaster’s Table,” a kind of testament to beer that claimed that a well a crafted beer could be just as interesting and sophisticated as any bottle of wine.
