Reviews
Transmitter Brewing has long been on my list to try. Steve and I were very excited and grateful when that opportunity finally arose in which at long last got to try one of their beers! The beer we had was the G1 Golden Ale with Pekko. This was a Belgian Pale Ale that was a lot of fun to drink as it had unique flavor profile which made it very intriguing! Flavors to be on the lookout with this beer are earthy, floral, citrusy, dry aftertaste and an herbal essence. Perhaps the herbal part was what really got me into this beer as I do love a good herbal beer. I have never had a bad experience with them and I certainly didn't have a bad experience with this one!
Great craft beer bar, focus on beers other than IPA's like Lagers and Pilsners. Take the Ferry from Manhattan! and visit the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Pinball in the back, be sure to say hi to the cats watching over the brewery
Transmitter Brewing is a craft brewery that opened in Queens, New York in March 2014. It was founded by business partners Anthony Accardi and Rob Kolb. The two met in 2005 through their mutual love of avid road cycling. They also shared a love for beer and soon began homebrewing together and experimenting with isolated strains of yeast. The duo was eventually inspired to open their own brewery with a focus on crafting Belgian-style farmhouse ales. They founded their name and brand (inspired by Brooklyn's Transmitter Park as well as a nod to ham radio) in 2013. A year later they opened up their brick and mortar location under the Pulaski Bridge in Long Island City. Accardi and Kolb referred to their new business as an urban farmhouse brewery. After a few years and much success, Transmitter had outgrown their modest location. In May 2019, Transmitter opened up a new brewery and taproom in the Brooklyn Navy Yard at Building 77 (aka 'The Market at 77'). I recently visited Transmitter Brewing while I was cycling around NYC. I was trying out a number of Brooklyn breweries and pizzerias and this was my second stop of the day. Building 77 was a beautiful new building. The ground floor is a retail marketplace and food hall that also featured a pizzeria, a bagelry, a salsa kitchen, and more. Transmitter's taproom has a decent amount of seating inside as well as in their outdoor beer garden. They also had no less than six pinball machines for customers to play. I enjoyed short pours of "NY7 Plum" (Fruited Sour), "S9 Noble Saison", "T1 Triple Ale" (Belgian Tripel), and "B1 Bourbon Barrel- Aged Barleywine". Everything I sampled was very good, but the latter (which featured notes of bourbon, plum and toffee) was easily my favorite. I had a really fun experience at Transmitter Brewing and I hope to visit their taproom again in the future!
What a great space this is for a very chill brewery. It os located at Brooklyn Navy yard which is a 5-10 min walk from the east river ferry. The guy who helped me was very nice and let me taste two beers before deciding on which one I wanted to get as a full pour. They have plenty of seating indoors and out. They also have comfortable couches/chair corner. They have a wonderful merch area. I had the pilsner which was pretty good. I did take a pack of beer home, the pilsner one. I would highly recommend this place. One last thing they have pinball machines!
Transmitter has helped me discover a new love and appreciation for beer in a world filled with macro lagers and hoppy IPAs. I wish they had better distribution so I could get cans in more stores but for now I always stop by the tasting room when I'm in the area.
