Beer halls are like the cupcakes and meatballs of drinking establishments: so trendy right now! And soon a new one will be coming to Bushwick, housed inside the 4,000-square-foot Danbro Studios building, and sporting an 11,000-square-foot outdoor garden—making it the city's biggest beer garden to date.
According to DNAInfo, the joint—which will be called The Well—is being opened up by Joshua Richholt, who told them, “If we’re going to have a very large selection of beers [250 different bottled beers with 60 more on tap], why not have the biggest in the city?” The plan is to offer beer from every New York State brewery. They'll also be hosting food and beer pairings, classes, and a farmer's market. And the space is fitting, as a former 19th Century brewery—it's located at 260 Meserole Street, conveniently less than two blocks from the Montrose L stop.
As if all that wasn't enough, Richholt will also be opening The Wick in the same location, a 75,000-square-foot music venue (he's already got some practice rooms and an instrument shop in there). Both spots should be opened by the fall, if all goes according to plan.
