Fort Hamilton Distillery & Tasting Room

Fort Hamilton Distillery & Tasting Room sits above the quiet piers of South Brooklyn. Distilleries have quietly moved from rural backroads into urban neighborhoods, turning once-unused spaces into places for local flavor. The modern city thirsts for small-batch spirits, and this one has answered the call.

Find it at 68 34th St Building 6, 2nd Floor, Brooklyn, NY 11232, where the factory windows now hold copper stills instead of shipping crates. The second floor space keeps the raw industrial edges of its waterfront past while blending in sharp aromas of malt and rye. It’s one of those conversions that makes you wonder how you missed it before.

The phone number waits quietly in the corner of flyers and web pages—718-395-3981—and answers whenever curiosity strikes. An all-women team runs the show, guiding tastings that walk drinkers through grain to glass. Just steps away from the Gowanus Canal’s industrial glow, guests explore barrel samples and custom infusions on the same floor where ingredients once arrived by barge.
