10 Best Breweries and Beer Places in Secaucus

"Take the L to Williamsburg and hop off at Bedford Ave and you’ll be just a couple blocks from Brooklyn Brewery. The craft brewer hosts a small batch tour that’s a must at just $18 for two hours of drinking and learning (the kind you'll actually enjoy). Book ahead—or prepare yourself for around-the-block lines if you wait—and you’ll get four very generous tastings (plus a glass that's yours to keep) of just-tapped varieties like their flagship Brooklyn Lager and farmhouse Sorachi Ace Saison, as well as seasonal pours like Brooklyn Summer Ale."

"Take a free guided tour of Williamsburg's Brooklyn Brewery and see where the borough's craft beer revolution started, this being one of the city's first post-prohibition craft breweries. Learn how the hops are made and the history of the company that started out as a 1-man home micro brewery before expanding into the success that you see today. You can also visit the taproom after the tour to try some of the craft beers but there is a..."

"Brooklyn Brewery started with a dream to return brewing to Brooklyn. Brooklyn used to powerhouse of American beer production, and clearly it is once again. “Our namesake borough runs on the creative energy of the many communities it contains."

"East WilliamsburgAt Grimm’s sleek brewery in East Williamsburg you will find sours, farmhouse ales, and funky lambics all bottled up alongside canned IPAs and ales. Grimm was once known as a brewery without a brick and mortar location of its own, but now they’re known for on-trend design both inside its minimalist space and emblazoned on the side of cans. How to order: Pickup at the brewery, delivery via GrubHub and Caviar, or shipping across New York state via website"

"The home of these longtime gypsy brewers is probably the most aesthetically pleasing brewery I have ever set foot in. If you're looking to go on a beer date, this is the spot. The space might come off a bit Williamsburg-pretentious at first to a brewery traditionalist, but the beer speaks for itself."

"East Williamsburg , Williamsburg"

"Since Rheingold closed shop in the late '60s, beer has been produced outside of the borough—City Island brews upstate, and Bronx Brewery trucks in kegs from Connecticut. At this 5,000-square-foot draft operation, Chris Sheehan (Chelsea Brewing Co.) makes all beer on-site, turning out a 30-barrel lineup of German-style ales, hearty stouts and Frosted Hop ale, made with frozen upstate wet hops. The dark-wood taproom functions as a 25-seat bar and retail shop—a perk of a farm brewery license, which also requires Sheehan use local ingredients—that sells pints, flights and to-go growlers."

"Gun Hill is a Bronx-based brewery operating out of Williamsbridge, and they also have a bar in Mott Haven called Gun Hill Tavern. It’s a plain, relatively quiet space with concrete floors, and they serve a small menu of standard tavern stuff like mozzarella sticks wings. But mostly you come here to drink beer, specifically Gun Hill Beer, like their Void Of Light stout with notes of coffee, chocolate, and pretty much everything else that’s brown and pleasantly bitter."

"If you’re both beer lovers, hit up the Gun Hill Brewing Co. for some handcrafted brews. Food vendors sometimes make an appearance, or bring your own food from a nearby spot."

"This brewery owned by Ed Raven, who also owns Brouwerij Lane in the neighborhood, began life in the spring of 2014 as Dirck the Norseman and started selling limited-edition cans on site around two years later, after that name was ditched. Raven’s brewing flock consistently produces delicious IPAs and double IPAs, while also, refreshingly, proving eager to tackle traditional styles most modern American brewers stay away from, like English mild. You may have noticed an absence of fresh cans from the brewery’s Instagram feed recently, and that’s for good reason: it closed late last year to move to a larger space, on Manhattan Avenue."

"Located in Greenpoint, the northernmost neighborhood in Brooklyn, Greenpoint Beer & Ale Co. holds both a lower floor Beer Market and indoor dining room, as well as an upper floor, open-air rooftop terrace. Colorful and industrial-chic in setting, the rooftop and its 'easy-to-notice' green stained glass water tower is a fantastic spot to enjoy some sunny drinks and charming views over the Greenpoint neighborhood. Being a brewery, the menu of course comes packed with a wide selection of craft beer."

"Head to the Bohemian Beer Garden to relax or one of the many microbreweries popping up all around NYC (Singlecut Beersmiths / Rockaway Brewing company).D) For shopping, catch the LIC flea market on the weekend. Don’t miss the gorgeous retro-chic Sweetleaf coffee shop if you’re in the area, which turns into a bar a night."

"Rockaway Brewing Co. is a hip and funky brewery in Long Island City, Queens. Their simple, no-frills taproom is very laid back and welcoming. It has a local New York vibe and is a nice low-key spot to chill at and enjoy some delicious homebrewed beer."
