Transmitter Brewing

A good choice of craft beer. Highly recommended.

My wife and I have been visiting this brewery since their Long Island City days back in 2015–2016, and from our very first visit, we were impressed by the exceptional quality of their ales. This isn’t your typical brewery serving IPAs, sours, or lagers—instead, they specialize in outstanding ales, some of the finest I’ve ever tasted thanks to their craftsmanship and attention to quality.
The Brooklyn Navy Yard location is a bit more polished than the original Long Island City spot, which had a certain charm with its rustic, industrial vibe. Still, the new location offers a great setting, whether you prefer to enjoy a relaxed drink indoors or savor a beer outdoors in a laid-back atmosphere.

Amazing beers, their triple is like the Belgian originals! And the owners are legit, really into their business. Go check out

Great people great beer great view

Had a great time at Transmitter Brewing. Getting there from Midtown was a breeze—the ferry ride was under 20 minutes, and it’s less than a five-minute walk from the landing to the brewery. The space is relaxed and welcoming, and the beer was excellent. They offer sampler flights so you can try several different styles—everything I tasted was solid. The staff were friendly and happy to make recommendations. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to.

Beer not great. Bartender very rude. Felt very unwelcome. I would not return

My wife and I love the idea of this place, and it’s such a cool space, but the last three times we’ve been here, the bartenders have been oddly rude, even to the point of turning us away before closing time (before we could even really interact with them!)… If you are the owner of this establishment and you are not one of the rude bartenders, then your people are doing you wrong! Sadly, we’ll probably just bypass this place and go to King’s Country Distillery in future visits to the Navy Yard area.

The best beer and the nicest folks.

Discovered this taproom by accident after missing the ferry and am meaning to go back to try more of the range of beers. The space was great very relaxed and friendly atmosphere, and perfect to enjoy a chat with friends over a few quiet beers.

Great Belgian style beers, friendly staff, clean space. Bonus brewery cat.

This place will transmit your life for sure! Great taste great place and the smell of fresh brewing beer is amazing ?

Excellent alternative outside of the tourist hub of Brooklyn ?

Great sours. No IPAs. There’s pizza in the same building.

Beer was ok, but I encountered the rudest service I’ve ever experienced at a brewery (I’ve been to dozens around Europe and North America). The pony-tailed guy working had no other customers, but treated us like an inconvenience.

Also, you have to leave the brewery and walk some distance to use what is essentially a mall bathroom. So lame.

Great tour and better beer
