18th Ward Brewing

Greenpoint’s industrial edges have long been a magnet for makers—artists, woodworkers, and, more recently, brewers who turn grain and hops into something you can actually drink. 18th Ward Brewing opened its doors on Richardson Street, a quiet stretch where the clatter of the BQE fades into the hum of fermentation tanks. The address, 300 Richardson St, Brooklyn, NY 11222, places it squarely in the neighborhood’s creative core, where old warehouses meet new ideas. Beer is the only agenda here, and the taps flow with whatever the brewers decide to coax from the kettles that week. A call to (718) 387-4025 will tell you what’s currently on offer—no frills, just alcohol and beer. Directions are easiest pulled up on your phone; the map keeps the walk from the G train short and simple.
