Brooklyn Kura – New York’s only sake brewery and taproom – is teaming up with the renowned wild and sour producers of New Belgium Brewing for a one-night-only Sake & Sour Symposium as part of Good Beer Hunting’s Into the Wild nationwide experiential event series. 

On Thursday, December 5th from 7 - 10pm at Brooklyn Kura’s Industry City Taproom (68 34th Street, Brooklyn, NY), guests will explore the diversity and breadth of the sake and wood-aged sour ale categories with a fermentation-driven tasting menu.

The evening will be a complimentary, invite-only event and include tastings of four Brooklyn Kura sakes, including the fan-favorite #14, alongside four dynamic New Belgium wild and sour ales presented by their Wood Cellar Director and sour pioneer, Lauren Limbach. The sake and sours will be presented with a selection of four small plates, which will reflect the evening’s fermentation-focused theme.

Event guests will also experience a rare behind-the-scenes look at Brooklyn Kura’s sake-brewing process with a short brewery tour led by co-founders Brian Polen and Brandon Doughan. 

Space for this event is extremely tight and by private RSVP only. You can request a wait-list code here:

About Brooklyn Kura 

The first sake brewery in NYC, Brooklyn Kura is dedicated to crafting and serving high-quality sake and building community around the storied beverage. Respecting the Japanese sake brewing traditions that have evolved over a thousand years, founders Brian Polen and Brandon Doughan are inspiring interest in the ancient beverage with the application of unique American ingredients and a passion for the process. 

The Brooklyn Kura brewery and tap room in Industry City, Brooklyn is open from Friday through Sunday and offers a one-of-a-kind sake tasting experience. Resident sake sommeliers Sam Barickman and Nana Paturet seek to make both sake novices and connoisseurs alike feel welcome in the space, educating and pouring for visitors in an open and relaxed environment.  

While enjoying a close-up view of the moromi (sake mash) tanks in action, guests are invited to taste a rotating menu of sake on draft (sold by the glass or carafe), along with tap room exclusives, including shiboritate and moromi. To accompany the beverages, Brooklyn Kura also serves a curated menu of small plates, including toasted nori, grilled cheese, fried fava, and charcuterie and cheese plates. The tap room is also home to regular sake-focused programming, including a monthly "Sake Basics" class, regular tastings, chef collaborations, and culinary pop-ups.
