SUMMARY: “Bike throughout North Brooklyn with licensed NYC tour guides and learn the history of Bushwick’s Brewing community on the site of Brewers Row - 14 blocks that once hosted over 20 Breweries throughout the 19th century. From Brewers Row we head to The Boulevard - Bushwick Avenue - and gaze upon the last standing mansions of the Beer Barons’ heyday. Biking further East, we visit Evergreen Cemetary and visit a veritable post-mortem Brewers’ Row - the plot of land where many old German Brewing families are buried. Finally we return to Williamsburg and the Brooklyn Brewery where we raise a toast to the Breweries of yesteryear.”
