Transmitter Brewing — Restaurant in New York

If you love beer, you need to go here.

Transmitter brews truly delicious beers (such as my favorite stout and one of the best triples I've ever had). Everything is bomber style, but the beers aren't too high gravity. Very rich, complex, nuanced flavors. Wide variety of brew types, all great. Make sure you pour with a little head, because every beer has a delicious one. But, those are just their beers, which you can get in a few places.

The tasting session at the brewery itself is amazing. You're literally tucked away in a corner of the brewery at small makeshift tables. The kegs and brew instruments are right there. So it smells like beer being made and you can watch them close out their day and see how they brew. They're more than willing to talk about the brews and they all have a great passion for brewing. It ends up being an amazing experience for a beer lover. Can't recommend enough.

The golden ale was a nice basic ale that will please just about anyone. The saison and especially the Brett saison ramp up the funk like Bruno Mars and don't disappoint. They serve only via bottle here, and you have to beg for the singular picnic bench, so come with friends or a...

I straight up love this place. The first time I came by a few years ago, they were to-go only, but now you can actually post up and drink your beer. Intimate brewery space, the clientele are polite and well-behaved, and Rob, Tanya, and Anthony are super affable and generous. My only worry is that this place will continue to blow up (see Other Half Brewing) and you won't be able to even stand in there anymore. The beers are fantastic, rustic European ales. I like the balance between trusted beers like golden ales and more exotic things like saisons made with grape must. They take interesting risks but also stick to tried an...
