Brooklyn was once known as America's brewing capital; at the turn of the 19th century Williamsburg alone was home to nearly 60 breweries. The originals are mostly gone, but this relative newcomer has been bringing back the hops since opening here in 1996. The Friday-evening happy hour means $3 beers—try the popular Brooklyn Lager, the Belgian-inspired Local 1, or one of the seasonal brews. Beer buffs can join a free guided tour on Saturday afternoons.
