Where the concierge points people first
- Other Half Brewing Company — The Brooklyn original, near the Gowanus end of Carroll Gardens, and the name most hazy-IPA drinkers came to New York for. This is where the brewing happens; go on a weekday afternoon if you want a seat. (40.6738, -73.9992)
- Other Half Brewing Rockefeller Center Taproom — The same beer poured in Midtown, a few minutes from Fifth Avenue. Useful if you cannot spare the trip to Brooklyn, but it is a taproom, not the brewery. (40.7577, -73.9788)
- Grimm Artisanal Ales — On Metropolitan Avenue in East Williamsburg, a brewery with its own taproom and a long-running reputation for sour and experimental beers. Worth pairing with a walk through Williamsburg. (40.7144, -73.9365)
- TALEA Beer Co - Williamsburg — The Williamsburg home of a women-founded brewery known for fruited and easy-drinking styles. Its Manhattan outposts near Bryant Park, Grand Central and in the West Village are taprooms that pour what is brewed here. (40.7187, -73.9483)

The name on the door is not always where the beer is made
In New York the word brewery on a sign covers two very different places. Several Brooklyn and Queens brewers now run satellite taprooms in Manhattan — near Grand Central, Bryant Park, Rockefeller Center, Brookfield Place — that serve the beer but brew none of it. If you want to see tanks and smell the mash, cross the river to the original site. Tours are not a given at either kind; many breweries only run them on certain days or not at all, so check with the brewery. You will be asked for photo ID showing you are 21 at the door or the bar, whatever your age looks like.
