Hands down one of the best breweries in NYC. They're my default recommendation when people ask for a good brewery in the city. They consistently nail every style of beer they produce and have a great tap room. Give them a visit, you won't be disappointed!

Had the best day here with my food truck Torta and a big Pilsner...I'll be back!

KCBC Brewery stands out as a beacon for beer aficionados, boasting an expansive space that instantly welcomes you with its warm and inviting vibe. The sheer size of the place allows for a diverse crowd, from casual drinkers to serious hop heads, all finding their niche in this vibrant atmosphere. The selection of beers is nothing short of amazing, with each brew showcasing the craftsmanship and passion of its creators. From rich, robust stouts to crisp, refreshing lagers, there's something for every palate. The vibe is lively yet relaxed, making it the perfect spot to unwind after a long day or kickstart a night out with friends. However, there's a catch—KCBC's focus is solely on their brews, meaning snack options are non-existent. While this might be a slight downside for those looking to pair their pint with a quick bite, the quality and variety of the beers on offer more than make up for it. It encourages guests to immerse themselves fully in the tasting experience, perhaps even prompting a visit to local eateries before or after. In essence, KCBC Brewery is a must-visit for its exceptional beers and the nice vibe it offers, even if it means planning your snacks elsewhere.

Great local brewery and taproom. Every time I've been there, the quality and selection of beers left nothing to be desired. The space is well designed with plenty of tables and a polished look that doesn't make you forget you're in a brewery. They also have board games, food popups and events.

Best beer I've had in NYC. Tasted 5. The staff is delightful and the service just perfect. A must visit if you're into great brew or just want to experience a well run friendly outfit.

Such a good experience. Their beer was amazing, more than 10 beers on tap. I love how they always have some sours and barrel aged beers. Their staff was amazing. Say what’s up to Max.

Great beer. Cool facility. Great service. Easily accessible for such a popular spot.

Nice to be back indoors at one of my favorite Brooklyn breweries

BEACH ZOMBIE IS THE ULTIMATE SUMMERTIME BREW! Also an Amazing brewery, varied and rigorously updated selections (not just beer!) You can smell the aromas of brewing while tasting their amazing product. Always cool AC, nice weekly food pop-ups, and clean bathrooms.

Real craft beer....great vibes....Nice people 🍺🌞🙏

KCBC always has delicious, lovingly crafted beers on tap, many of them being top-tier collaborations with local places. The service is always fast and courteous and the bathrooms are generally clean. There are board games to play, or bring your own, and dogs are super welcome.

Along with the other breweries we toured last weekend we made sure to stop by KCBC, as we've been fans of their beer for a long time but have never made it to the brewery itself. In comparison to the other breweries we stopped at KCBC actually seemed a lot larger, less crowded but still very populated, and we had no problem getting a seat at the bar. The beer was great, and KCBC seemed to be the most cleanly of all the breweries we stopped at that day (and most well-lit!). The staff was great and we will definitely go there again when we're in town.

We were lucky enough to try Robot Fish at the beach with friends. One of the best beers we've ever tasted. After that taste we signed up for a membership and got a few Crowlers. The Sandcastles Saison and Dangerous Precedent did not disappoint. We can't wait for the taproom to open so we can bring all our beer loving pals.

KCBC is easily the best brewery in New York City. And there are other fine breweries, this one has never lead me astray and has introduced me to varieties I was not aware of. It also seems like a good date spot based on the ratio that seems more balanced than most tap rooms.

KCBC may be my favorite NYC brewery. They reliably offer a range of beers from lagers to sours to the more of-the-moment IPAs of consistently high quality, the bartenders are always friendly, and on a more surface level they have a comfortable, high-ceilinged space that provides for my money a better experience than certain more widely-known local spots. A+.

Sweet set-up with original interior fittings - not sure about the low tables though. The beers we tried were excellent - Robot Fish being my personal go-to beer. Bring a friend and you could stay awhile without knowing it...

This spot is amazing, the vibe is cool. There is a Wide variety of beers. My beverage of choice is Cider or sangria. Just so you know that IPA hits.

Delicious cooperative brewery with fresh and original beers on draft. Check the schedule because pop up art and food offerings are often available. Worth a visit if you like a good beer in a brewery-like space.

Really chill brewery and bar offering a variety of beers. The space is an open design with large windows. The sour beer I tried was tasty. I recommend visiting this place. Their plants on each table are real in case you were wondering.

Great craft beer mixed with good music. They also have a flight option with 4 to try - which is nice.

Delicious craft beer. Great hangout vibes. Small curbside patio. Small to go cooler.

Always LOVE coming to KCBC when we’re in NY. Wouldn’t be a trip unless we went there. Staff is always awesome, the tap list is always phenomenal and the vibe is always right. Didn’t get any beer pictures this time around, just doggos.

Fabulous place. Excellent beer selection with slider options so to you can try them all. Very dog friendly. Lots of board games. They also let you bring in outside food, which is great.

Wow! What a place! The beer the vibe, awesome! Worth the visit. Oh! Don't forget to try the empanadas, I'll recommend the ones of cow.

Really nice taproom located in an old wearhouse. Six to twelve beers on tap, and one local cider. A couple of cans and bottles to stay or to go. Giant windows facing the streets lights up the space during the day, and even gives you a little bit of outdoor vibe during the summer when they're open. Can get pretty busy during the weekends but you can usually find a place to sit. Dog friendly. Bonus point for the L train info on top of the fridge.

Delish beer. Ordered for delivery Upstate and they included a yummy treat too. Their Deadlock Victim is pretty amazing. You can taste all the flavors without any of them being offputting. Definitely glad they can ship outside of the City. Keep up the Hoptastic work 🍻.

Awesome brewery! If you love beer, this brewery is a must visit!

Cool spot with a really fun drink menu and flights. We spent a few hours here playing games (BYO) and trying new beers. Definitely a spot to hit up!

Truly one of the great breweries of Brooklyn. If you are in Brooklyn for beer cannot miss this place however you will regret it for the rest of your life.

This place is like a second home to me, with good reason. Amazing staff, best brewery for quality and variety in the area, and one of the best in NYC period. Very friendly to the local art scene too, if their comic-art style labeling doesn’t give that away.

So we hit a bottle store in Carolina. Bought a can just on the “Art” . Absolutely delicious.

Great selection of beers and very friendly staff.

Awesome place to grab a craft beer and amazing selection all made in house!

Went here with my gf last weekend. Good vibe, liked the heavy metal playlist & the vibe of the workers. Cool spot

Awesome staff all the time, great selection beers always on the go.

Stopped in the area on a tour. Found this place by accident looking for a restroom. Guy running the bar let me and my wife taste a few beers before deciding what we wanted. Super friendly and well kept. If you’re in the area stop by and have a beer for me!

Aaaammaazzziinnggg!!!! Home of some of the best stouts that I have ever tasted! Hats off to the brew masters!! If you are a fan of stouts you WILL be a fan of this place.

Great choices of beer, friendly service, reasonably priced for Brooklyn. Would love if the stickers were free but oh well :)

Planning my trip to New York I found KCBC on IG. Glad I came across them, great tap room and great beers

One of my fave Brooklyn breweries. They have great IPAs which is pretty much the bar around here. But their pilsners are also always lovely which I think is a too oft overlooked fact. Plus the space is cute and they take the safety of their guests given the pandemic really seriously which is always nice to see.

Awesome brewery! Their flights are priced well. We went on a Thursday night and it was pretty crowded but not overbearing. Greeted a lot of pups and had a great time!

It was a nice, relaxing afternoon here. beers were delicious. nice atmosphere. will come back

Stopped by with a couple of friends and we tried their beer flights. Such a good deal and the vibes are immaculate. If you’re doing a bushwick brewery crawl, highly recommend stopping by here!

Really chill Bushwick brewery with a solid lineup of cleverly named beers. Wanted to stop by for one beer, but the brews and vibes were so good I stayed for more. Tried the 100% Idaho, Octopus Drum Solo, Mr. Pomelo, and The Great Catsby. Of the bunch, my favorite was Octopus Drum Solo - a citra hopped double IPA, probably one of their more well known beers and one I’ll be coming back for. And great news- the brewery is located near many great restaurants, so if the munchies hit you are covered.

A really great spot that’s BYOF. The beer selection is really good and beats most breweries in NYC. Great lagers and stouts specifically. I also like that they have nice outdoor seating. Bar service, which I like, but also some table service on weekends.

Cool vibe, good music, great variety of beers. Flight of 4 dmall beers for tasting is $15. Plenty of games available.

Awesome brewery, slot space ,friendly bartenders. Beer is also nice and they have awesome merch like penguin glasses!

Awesome brewery, and quite the happening place. Lots of patrons, which speaks to the beer on tap. They have a fridge with cans to go. Beer is great, staff helpful, despite the place being busy.

Awesome brewery! It's a big open space with lots of seating. Lots of different styles to choose from, guaranteed to find something you like!

Nice open space and atmosphere, beers are really good but only 14 oz pours. Used to west coast brewery’s with standard 16 oz pints.

Love it great space atmosphere & most goodness there beers. What’s awesome the allow you to bring your own food

They no longer fill up personal growlers and one cannot customize their 4 packs but they still make fine beer. They do offer pre-mixed 4 pack cans and the taproom is now open.

Such a good brewery and a wonderful space with a great staff. Love coming here!

Hillary Guzik-Jung

Between the aimrt and the staff, this place is awesome. I have heard that the beer is also awesome here too(but I can't drink it). However they have more than beer and they have na too! They play all the major sports if that's your thing. You can reserve tables for parties. Beers are great, staff are great! Seriously give them all the tips. And they often have pop up food, whis had always been spot on! Tonight was good by Q! Yummm... I hope you get a Q food night! Also, all bathrooms are non gendered and clean. Drink here be happy..

Brianna Maldonado

Ava was my bartender and absolutely made me feel so welcome and taken care of as a solo visitor. My first time and enjoyed the beer, atmosphere, and bar staff so much! Will absolutely be coming back!

Jo Purpich

I really like this brewery, but they get crowded fast! I recommend reservations. I’m also happy that they now offer more than just beer for my gluten-challenged friends.

Barbara Lindner (Travelling Wife)

Here 6/29/25 and very cool beer options, nice space, and good music however of course you come here for the beer! The neighborhood is also great for graffiti and seeing the old NYC. We tried paws and Octo Brau and enjoyed both. Today they had fries with benefits for food.

Tez Boyes

Yer basic taproom, a bunch of their own great beers on draught and can, mix of lager, IPA and silly stout. Bar staff that know the beers. The afternoon I visited there was a DJ on playing some light rock, a nice amount of background ambience without getting in the way of having a conversation.

Graeme Wheatley

Great beers from KCBC. We visited on a Saturday afternoon, and the place was pretty quiet. The choice of beers was very good with lots of different styles to try. We opted for a tasting board, which allows you to pick any four beers that they have on tap. This is a great offer and allowed us to sample some amazing beers, including a great 14% imperial stout.

Romain Penet

There is no best way to start a trip to New York than with some great IPAs. Second time to KCBC still the best! And definitely some of the best can designs. If you love beer you have to go there.

Sarah P.

Not only one of the greatest breweries for different IPA’s, but the brewery offers a great option for seating, ambiance, and it’s dog-friendly! The neighborhood is unique and artsy. Highly recommended!

Jeff S.

Cool funky vibe with great brews never had a stout from KCBC before was pleasantly surprised and IPAs here are always a standout. Really nice cicerones behind the bar know their brews. Pizza recos in the area weren't as awesome but brews they know spot on...

Luiza Marns

Definitely worth the trip from Manhattan out here. On a trip where we stopped at 5 breweries in and near the city, this is the only one I am currently planning to go back to. Many good beers. Indoor seating is a nice atmosphere, as is the outdoor. Not many employees, but very efficient at getting us drinks. Looking forward to going back and grabbing some cases some day in the future. ________________ 🌏Weight Loss Motivation. 🔥Impressive Weight Loss. She Used This 1 Easy Trick! Instagram👉 @slims_pro

Hazy IPA lover’s paradise. - Dog friendly, nice space, friendly service, great beer! - Outside food is allowed to eat here. - Happy Hours, yes! - fruity sour beer, yes! We ordered 2 Hazy IPA with the servers’ recommendation and they are sooo good! Dynamite Evaluation is my favorite that comes with a fruity aurora and 🫧, very flavorful and refreshing!

Nice brewery, good variety of beers and quality products. It's possible to buy a variety pack of cans to take away, which appears to be uncommon for breweries in the area (which is incomprehensible).

Gautam Ramchandani

Terrific local brewery with good music! Lots of beers on tap and can also sample a flight. You can also buy canned beer. We got a 4 pack of their pilsner. The cans are very colorful with interesting graphics. The service is very friendly. This is a great place to hang out on the weekend!

Photos have cards with the drinks labeled. Brewery in Brooklyn with casual seating and decent selection of draft beers. They have half-off flights on Wednesday and Mon-Thurs happy hours so more worth to go during those times. The pours here were all very good — there wasn’t one I didn’t like. The kombucha honestly was my favorite. It was like a light kombucha and very refreshing on a hot day. Even if you don’t enjoy the “kombucha stank”, you’ll enjoy this one. I recommend getting the mango.

Vera Quill

Love this place. Literally a gem in the neighborhood. They always change up their brews. The beer is never less than excellent. Great place to go after dinning around the area, or roll in with the kids / it is stroller friendly after lunch / early dinner. They let you buy food outside and bring it in, but nowadays I saw they had a food truck in there on the weekend. They have lots of games to entertain everyone of all ages. The beer selection and tastings alone are entertaining enough- not to mention the names they pick for their beers!

Great place! Good brews , great environment and outdoor seating to enjoy drinks at. Located in the heart of bushwick, right around the corner from the bushwick collective , after your drinks maybe a quick stroll for some art?

Cool place, some beers like my nice Pilsner was at friendly $6. But, one of the smallest "pints" I have ever seen. Lets stick to generally recognized volume and measurement standards.

gonna give this 4 stars. really like the space. crowd was pleasant. clean and fun playing games. the beer just didn't stand out for me. was hoping to be surprised by taste and after trying 2 flights i just wasn't that impressed. bartenders were also a little inattentive.

Great beer in a fun open space with communal tables. Certainly not the best brewery in the area, but KCBC is definitely trending upward lately with their hops and sours. Love that its bring your own food.

You can’t go wrong going to a brewery with a couple friends on the weekend. We got flights because how could we choose just one? loved the pink sour. I recommend getting reservations ahead of time because we had to sit outside, which wasn’t the greatest setup.

Lovely place. Big, lots of beer option, several beers to-go. Worth a stop

Nice space and quite good beers. I was pretty impressed that everything I tried was very good.

I arrived here one night and sat down at the bar. I ordered their stout which was quite good but otherwise the bartenders ignored me for the whole night. The place closed early and I was surprised by it without them asking me for a last call. It's a quiet place, not one I'd recommend to be social.

If you are interested in international quality beer, I wouldn't come here. This is more of a ipa and upstate craft beer kind of place. Packed with young Bushwick crowd and groups playing boardgame and loud music playing, this happened on a busy hot summer day. I am sure it's less loud and crowded on a quiet night. I think I only saw susage on a bun the only food option here. Rest are selection of 15 beer ipa. At $6 to $8 a pop, you can enjoy it for a good 20 minutes or at least for me. I am not a fan of these beer because they don't taste good to me. If you like German beer, I advise you to stay away. Place is huge but still hard to find a place to sit.

Grew brews. Flights are a good way to try multiple. Can also get cans to go. Vibe was super fun, people selling food, and plenty of board games. Like many of these breweries, a bit tight (especially on a weekend), so you might be up close to someone who just ran 10 miles and is now in a onesie. Anyways, great beers, and the vibe is as good as you make it. Also, if you're debating coming for an afternoon, make sure to check out the area / surrounding blocks -- this spot is in a sweet part of Bushwick

Excellent beers, friendly staff, decent prices. Make sure to try a sour as they do a terrific job with them—-one of the best in the country.

Lovely spot! Went for bar trivia and ended up really enjoying how open and casual the place is with movie themed beers and a kind staff.

The area is really cool. Come pay it a visit. It’s not far at all. Incredible beers 100% made in Brooklyn (Bushwick to be more specific). Incredible names, really funky cans, all the brews I’ve tasted are good. Friendly atmosphere and freshly made tacos on Tuesdays. What else do you want ? I love Brooklyn.

Catherine Introcaso

Great experience here during Happy Hour! Excellent $5 pours of their Hazy IPA and Pilsner. Can’t beat those prices. The area is pretty chill too. Loved all the plant life and they have finessed the homey yet industrial feel of the spot. Their brews were all strong and I loved how many four packs they served. No food, which is very ok! Here for the beer and that’s all. Excited to trek back to bushwick again sometime to visit!

I love this place and their beer but they should tell the skinny girl with glasses on Tuesdays to be more careful with the customers. She crossed when I was at the bar, without saying excuse me or anything. They have one of my favorite beers. I always drink here and order to go, I hope my next visit will be better.

Beer is very cool but happy hour offer works not for all draft.

Excellent but indifferent to the taproom. Small place with many hard, reflective surfaces. It was crowded so this means it was very loud - uncomfortably so. Barkeeps were indifferent, not especially friendly and had to wait a while to be noticed when waiting for a drink. Most importantly, the flight of four beers ranged from very good to truly outstanding.

Beers are well and good. The barmaid was uneven and curt with me. Kept giving me a weird look and was confrontational. Eventually I got in an argument that somehow escalated to the manager cutting me off. I've never seen such weak customer service from a watering hole in my life. Felt rather inauthentic, pretentious, bourgeois, and corporate. Silly and lame for a brewery in Bushwick. Two stars for good ale and a large storefront with funky decor. If you just want a throwaway brewery for your tourist Bushwick moments this one will happily oblige.

Morbid Curiosity is super-fun trivia, the beers are great, and the bar staff has always been on their game, IME. That said, unless the doors are open and you can get seated away from the bar, it's an absolutely miserable place to talk. It was 90dB when the music was /off/, and having to scream to have a conversation with friends who are sitting next to me sucks. Two of our party bailed early. The best beers in the world won't make a bar good if you can't share them with the folks you're there with; at that point, you're drinking alone next to people. The place could be a five-star experience if they'd put in some sound-absorbing materials and tell whoever's DJing that it's a bar, not a dance club.

Great beer but had to wait awhile to be acknowledged at the bar
