Fifth Hammer Brewing

 

 

Once was good, but has been unable to maintain consistency as they've grown. Staff has become incredibly rude and you're guaranteed to wait on a line to get in on the weekend. Given the competition in the area (Finback, Rockaway, Icon, Singlecut.. the list goes on...), the rudeness of the staff, and the lines to get in, recommend avoiding this place considering the quality of the beer.

Great neighborhood spot with fair variety of brews and airy indoor seating area. There’s usually 2-3 to go beers in 4 packs and another 5 or so crowler options to go.
Dogs are welcome and almost every night there’s a food vendor on site.

High ceilinged warehouse space with tasting room partitioned in front of brewhouse. Long bar perpendicular to entry seats about 15, with table packed into remainder of space. Two large garage doors open to street. 12 beers on tap, the one I had was very good. Lively crowd.

 

 

 

Yet another quality spot for super tasty brew in BKLYN/Queens NY...what a great area for beer!

Industrial/garage kinda space, nicely renovated and quite comfortable to have some of their high quality offerings at the granite stone topped bar or at one of several tables or benches...chill music, not too loud make this place a fine place to stop in for a few beers and/or to bring food into...(sometimes they have a food truck, but they offer no food of their own)

Mary and Chris are great owners/brewers/visionaries and hosts...really enjoyed our first visit and def will be back...if I was a local I would be a regular, and I always think that is high praise....

 

 

 

this is not one of the big name new york breweries that we came here to visit this week. it was sort of a random stop for us, but after touring around the last few days, i can confidently declare this place to be one of the best operations in the city. the beer list is diverse as can be, nuanced lagers, funky saison types, fruited sour beer, barrel aged bretty stuff, hazy hops, they do it all, and we drank through a fair bit of the list, and there isnt a dud among them. the space is rad too, high ceilings in an old warehouse looking industrial space, but the christmas lights draped over the pile of barrels and the video of a fire burning on their projection screen gave it a cozy holiday feel nevertheless. they have done a lot with a little here, its mellow, with a long bar and minimal seating, and the brewery on the other side of the building but visible from the walk to the restrooms. they had a huge list of beers and a ton of cool stuff. norwegian saison with juniper branches was for me the winner, but we had killer beer from top to bottom here, including a nicely done pils type, a salted plum sour, and basically everything in between. they really are making some impressive beers here. service was cool, gal behind the bar was friendly and stoked, and the dude making the beers took the time to chat with us, really kind young dude who doesnt seem to be letting it go to his head. loved the beers in here, ill make a point to visit them again when i am back in the city. dont overlook this place, its as good as any of the hyped up beer destinations here...
