"The 2,500-square-foot warehouse once home to Lantern Hall has an 18-seat bar and table-seating for 40 to 50 guests, Thompson says, with some tables running up against brewing equipment in the back of the building. A short, 4-foot tall fence sits between the seating and brewing areas, giving diners the chance to see right over it, Thompson says. Braven will offer 'a number of different beers that no one has seen from us before,' Thompson says. The brewery is now open with a limited menu but will eventually offer about a dozen options including a pilsner, summer ale, saison, and sour ale brewed with passionfruit, pink guava, and pineapple. White wine and coffee will also be on offer. The menu, created by chef Tori Valdes from Harper’s in Dobbs Ferry, features items like a burger drenched in beer cheese that comes in a pretzel bun and a fried chicken thigh served with buttermilk biscuits and sugar plum barbecue sauce. Crispy fried seitans are made in house, and vegetarian snacks include charred carrots, Brooklyn Grange baby greens, roasted beets, and crispy kale." - Carla Vianna
"New York-based brewing company Braven Brewing is bringing a brewery and restaurant to Bushwick. Braven team Marshall Thompson and Eric Feldman have signed a long-term lease brokered by M Properties Group for 52 Harrison Pl., between Morgan and Knickerbocker avenues. The 2,500-square-foot warehouse space currently holds Lantern Hall, which will soon vacate the space to make way for Braven Brewing Company. Braven first started in 2013 and currently only distributes beer within New York. Most bars in Bushwick carry the local brand, which includes an American IPA, a pilsner, a white IPA, and a black pale ale. In the new warehouse space, Braven will open a 60-seat restaurant along with its brewing operation in the back part of the building. The menu at the restaurant will fittingly be beer-centric, with takes on standard pub fare that incorporate beer as an ingredient as much as possible, Thompson says. Dishes will include beer cheese nachos and white IPA-marinated chicken bratwursts. He also says Braven plans to be the only restaurant in NYC serving DC’s signature half-smoke sausage, inspired by his and Feldman’s time living in DC. They’re currently still seeking a beer-educated chef to manifest this menu." - Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya
