Detailed itinerary

This is a sample itinerary, all schedules are subject to change. The Underground Brooklyn Brew Tours kicks off at Wild East Brewing Company, a brewery that specializes in farmhouse ales, hazy IPAs, and barrel-aged sours.

Down in Sunset Park a group of like-minded individuals converges every day from each of the five boroughs. Led by Blake Tomnitz and Kevin O’Donnell, the team is here to make great beer and to get that beer into your hands (and mouths). With four core beers being brewed year-round – IPA, Pilsner, Gose, Hoppy Lager – Five Boroughs focuses on quality above all else. When you join City Brew Tours at Five Boroughs you’ll get backstage access to see not one but three different brewhouses from their production scale down to their 1 BBL pilot. You’ll also get a glimpse into their state-of-the-art quality lab and spend the rest of your time in their sprawling taproom which can seat 150 people, has multiple draft lines, special events and a stage, and a retail shop.

BIG aLICe is dedicated to sourcing organic and local ingredients and supporting state and local agriculture as a licensed New York State farm brewery. They partner with New York hop farmers and maltsters and collaborate with other nearby businesses for specialty ingredients.
