    Be sure to sign up for a brewery tour as soon as you arrive, as they fill up pretty quickly during the weekends. With beer tokens costing $20 for 5, it's a great way to sample a wide variety of beers.

    Awesome brewery U pay with tokens up front and then go get all the beers u want. Has the big tables. Brewery tours from 10$ to free. No food but you can order from local places. Cool little gift shop

    The beers that we tried weren't that great but it's a nice experience to go inside and see the crowd. Buy the 5 for $20 beer tokens and you're set. Find the german bar on 3rd street afterwards!

    A great spot to sample the local microbrewery's selection! You can bring your own food and play Jenga or cards at a table. We've always enjoyed the tour, its more of the history than a walking tour.

    Get the tour—it's only one room and then it's back to drinking some of their rare and cask-conditioned beers in a fun, noisy-but-bearable bar space. Say hi to the warehouse cat while you're visiting. Read more

    5 tokens for 20 dollars in the weekends is just great! Try the sour beers! And the 4 tokens worth Belgian triple is totally worth it, specially because they give you the glass!

    It's impossible to go wrong with a trip here. Enjoy a tour or grab a brew or two with your friends inside at the beer garden. A lively spot on the weekends.

    The brewery that put Brooklyn Craft Beer on the map. Do a tour,and stick around after to drink a few of their offerings. Personal fave is Black Chocolate Stout.

    great tasting room stop if in wburg. they offer free tours and it's always cool to hear the 80s story of the wburg location's expansion into a national brand.

    Lots of rules and strict time constraints here, but once you get passed that, it’s a pretty good time. The Blue Ribbon fried chicken was among the best I’ve ever had!

    Get here EARLY on weekends! Once the line forms outside, you can't enter until people leave. Great for groups (once you can snag a table). Lively and fun atmosphere.

    Great place to drink a beer and get to know more about the history of Brooklyn Brewery! The tour is free and each beer is about 5 dollars. Our guide, Mike, was great! Hilarious stories and lots of fun

    You can’t go to Brooklyn without visiting the brewery. These boys would agree! Although in terms of beer selection I prefer some of the other places nearby like Tørst!

    Fantastic small batch tour, was really focused on the history and beer tasting more than the actual brewing process. Sampled some fantastic beers

    Great spot. The tour was worth going on. The line to get beer was unpredictable on a Sunday. Sometimes short, sometimes crazy long. Mad dog the line until it's short or get 2 beers while you're there

    Come for the cornholing competition on the last Tuesday of the month, an experience not to be missed. Watch out for the neighbors with the shared backyard - boy can they throw!

    The deal is great:$20 for 5 brews. The brews are great and they offer a lot of beers that are only available at the brewery. The line is entirely too long. Need to find a way to serve more people

    This is a very similar experience to many other brewery rooms in the country, so nothing unique. However, the beer is excellent and the value is great for New York ($20 for 5 beers).

    Free tour of the Brewery! Why wouldn't you!?! Be sure to take a beer with you; don't worry, it's encouraged. If you're lucky to get Ian as a tour guide, you're winning at life.

    Its beer. Good beer. Beer you should drink. Immediately. Maybe a flight? Get a flight. Both of them. Simultaneously. Drink it.

    After the brewery tour, trade in tokens for brews like the ’55 Pennant Ale, congregate with your beer-loving brethren in a packed cafeteria, and play a few hands of poker while you enjoy the buzz. Read more

    Hello beer! You have to splurge just once and try the special 4 token menu. The quad I had was to die for and comes with a souvenir glass.

    It's a bit of a misnomer. The brewery in Brooklyn only brews the local "big bottles" and nothing else. The tour is quick. You buy wooden beer tokens. They used to be cheap.

    Bring a pizza (or order one) and bring a nice game like Cards Against Humanity. Meet up with some friends or meet some new ones! Drink some great beer and have a really good time!

    Great for happy hour on Fridays. If you come on a weekend get there early to snag a table, then get a pizza delivered and relax and enjoy all the greatness the brewery has to offer!

    Yep, five (albeit small) beers for $20 ain’t half bad. Good atmosphere. We meant to go on the tour but accidentally just kept drinking.

    If you want a behind-the-scenes look at one of the city’s famous breweries, now is the time. The Brooklyn Brewery, located in Williamsburg, hosts a wide range of free tours on Saturdays and Sundays.

    Arrive early if you want to get a spot/picnic table. Ask the "bartenders" for a sample if you're not sure what beer you want. And forgo the tour - it's not that great.

    Good fun, plenty of beers on tap, bit too 'college crowds' getting drunk at times, but worth a visit

    The brewery is currently in the midst of a multi-million dollar expansion that will boost its capacity in the borough. Right now, much of their beer is brewed at F.X. Matt Brewing in Utica, NY.

    Really busy on the weekends but the atmosphere is worth it. Long beer lines so considering ordering multiple beers at once.

    Almost all of the beers are vegan! But watch out for the brewery’s Brooklyn Local 2 and Brooklyn BAMboozle beers, along with several past Brewmaster’s Reserve drinks, which may contain honey.

    Beer tokens are $5 each, and each token gets you a beer! Solid deal. Gets really crowded on a Saturday afternoon but the line moves fast.

    I've been here several times, but this past weekend the brewery was like a combination of a dog park and a nursery. Let's keep our children and pets at home please!

    You can host parties or events here for large groups. Open bar and brewery tours are available. I'm a fan of the 1/2 Ale, myself.
