Transmitter Brewing

No Longer In Business

Finally visited the microbrewery. Its really very small, with 4-5 picnic tables and only bottles. No taps at all. 4-5 of their bottles available, with flight size glasses for all. The guys are great, beers are fine, but to visit once only.

Small brewpub located in the middle of the brewery with a nice selection of beers. Had a pretty long chat with the head brewer, very nice guy. Beers are delicious, too.

Odd place located under the bridge. Tasting room is small, but they’ve added a roped off area in the brewery itself with a pair of picnic tables. Three beers pouring for free, but you get a sample of about an ounce or two. Your next beer size available is an entire 750, either of one of those three, or a few others. So binary price points of 1oz = free, 750ml = $15. Beers are good, and a reason to come here would be to purchase bottles, not sit around a brewery and drink like many of us want to do at breweries. Not sure if I’d include this on a brewery tour of the area, although on the upside if you’ve got a group, you can taste the three pours, buy a bottle or two, share with your group, then move on and you’re in and out very quickly. Solo, it’s less of a hangout space.

Two picnic benches inside the brewery and a barrels for standing. Really friendly staff although they’re busy (which is a good thing). Three free samples poured out of bottles then a bunch of bottles that are offered to enjoy at the brewery. Decent selection of beers as these guys seem to have an endless imagination and refuse to keep a standard brew list. Have to admit the bathroom is a mess but the over all decor in the warehouse is quite nice.

This is a working brewery with a tiny desk set up in the entryway so you can taste the beers and purchase bottles. Really nice lady was pouring four bottle samples, and a friendly couple shared the bottle they had purchased for in house consumption. It works!

Started our LIC beer/brewery crawl here. Tiny "tasting room"/"retail shop" located inside a garage-style production brewery. Small table as well where you can consume purchased bottles if so inclined. Only 3 beers available on my visit, all of which were solid. The lady working the tasting room was very friendly. We had a good chat about beer while consuming our samples. Bottles are slightly overpriced. Overall, this is a nice little stop, close to the 7, interesting to see, and fun, even if it isn’t really a destination/hang-out type of spot.

One small room for bottle purchases. They had 3 bottles open for pouring samples and around 6 bottles total available for purchase. This isn’t a place to linger and is most definitely a brewery off-licence during their public opening hours. Everyone seemed pretty chilled hanging out here. Fun place to find and a good start to a day of brewery hopping around LIC.

Tasting room sized as big as a small office , where you walk into a very friendly lady who will gladly have you drink a sip of each beer they currently have for sale . The beers were the best of the 3 breweries ( in my opinion ) and I was glad with the small sips , since I had a day of drinking behind me already . Lovely little place .

As others have said...hard to believe there’s a farmhouse brewery under a bridge in LIC. Yes it’s small...and yes there is a limited selection...but the beers are very good. Since the place is small and the sample pours are small...there isn’t much to do here...so try the samples...buy a couple of bottles...and enjoy the beers at home with a nice meal...which they’ll compliment well. Transmitter is a great add on to an LIC/Greenpoint beer tour...but certainly not a destination place for someone living outside the area.
