About the Brooklyn Brewery
Steve Hindy and Tom Potter founded the Brooklyn Brewery in 1988. Both homebrewers they quit their jobs and focused on brewing beer. Milton Glaser did the logo design for the company and received a share of the company by doing so. Originally their beer was contracted by Matt Brewing Company, and they focused on the distribution of their beers. In 1996 they acquired a former matzo factory in Brooklyn and converted it into a functional brewery.
The company’s head brewmaster is Garret Oliver and he has been working for the company since 1994. The Brooklyn Brewery has received many awards and accolades for their beers, and the company continues to grow in popularity!
