“Small do it yourself microbrewery set on the border of Brooklyn/Queens.”
“I really loved their ginger IPA, which had a nice balance of ginger with hops, as well as the Hazel Eyes, which had a sweetness and nuttiness.”

My friends and I stumbled into B&T Brewery one Sunday AM, and it was really chill. It had a great neighborhood feel and top-notch beers. All 12 beers on tap are brewed right there, and the bartender was generous with the tastings. The group at the brewery definitely included locals who appreciate beer, but there weren't any obnoxious "aficionados."

I liked the cave-like feeling inside, as the space is much larger but without windows, than it may seem from the outside. But they did have some lawn chairs by the entrance if you wanted to soak in some sun.
Pretzels for sale. Cash only.
Cool place with very good beers. I brought my beer club here and there were 36 of us and everyone had a nice time. The bartenders were friendly and were happy to explain any of the beers to you. They have beer flights, which is nice, because you can sample several beers before you commit (although some of the beers were pouring verrryyy slowwwlly when I was there so even filling up a small glass took some time, which led to backups for people waiting to get beers). There was nothing I didn't like, but their brown ale and the saison (not the dark one) stood out as exceptional beers.
This place is very close to the L train, not even a five minute walk from the Halsey stop and although they don't serve food other than pretzels, most people who wanted something to munch on went down the block and brought back pizza or calzones.
You can really taste the quality of this beer and I hope to see it distributed and sold in some of my local haunts but in the meantime, it's definitely worth a trip out to Ridgewood. I got there in 33 minutes from my place in midtown on a Sunday so it's an easy journey.
