On Tap: Big Alice Brewing

On a little street in Long Island City, NY lies a little brewery with big beers. Overlooking the east river power plant that inspired their name (Big Allis), Big Alice has been brewing "an ever evolving line of unique and interesting" beers since conception in 2013. At that time they were New York City's second smallest brewery. Operating as a nano brewery producing 1/3 barrel per batch, this brewery has created beers including a Purple Potato Tripel, a banana habanero multigrain ale, and a dandelion and fennel bulb IPA to name a few. Each beer comes in a wine bottle size corked bottle and can be cellared for up to 10 years (the life of the cork). Average ABV usually ranges anywhere between 9%-up as high as 15.3% (Single Malt with Cardamom). The brewery is open to the public Friday evenings from 5-7:30 pm. During this time Brewers/Founders Robby Crafton, Kyle Hurst, and founder Scott Berger are usually on hand to show you around and tell you about their beers. Stop in, meet the team, and enjoy some of the most "unique and interesting beers" New York City has to offer.
