NY State farm brewery w/ seasonal beers, cider, wine & spirits
"If, on a nice summer Saturday, you’re wondering where all the Citi Bikes have gone, they’re probably just clogging up the stations in Red Hook. At the center of the action is Strong Rope Brewery, where people sip flights of beer on a waterfront patio in the presence of Lady Liberty. There’s usually a food truck or two parked out front, but you can also bring your own snacks. (Defonte’s and Hoek are nearby.)" - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah
"If you need—not want, need—to drink a beer by the water, head to Strong Rope in Red Hook. The brewery has a massive patio with picnic tables, views of the Statue Of Liberty, and groups comparing flights on Saturdays in the summer like they get paid to debate the intricacies of sour IPAs and summer ales. Plan a Red Hook excursion, and then spend several hours here. Strong Rope also has a bring-your-own-food policy, so pick up some Defonte’s sandwiches on your way, or go eat some seafood at Brooklyn Crab." - molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim, willa moore, will hartman, neha talreja
"Trek out to Red Hook to take in the beautiful New York Harbor views while sipping on beers made with ingredients from the state at this location of the brewery. Sunset is the ideal time to visit." - Nadia Chaudhury
"If you’d like to hang out outside with a big group for several hours, Strong Rope Brewery is your best option. There’s a large indoor area where you could throw someone a birthday in the winter, but it’s the patio that makes it worth a trip to Red Hook whenever the temperature surpasses 55 degrees. Grab a picnic table out front, order a flight, and watch Lady Liberty until sunset. You can also bring your own food to Strong Rope—Defonte’s and Hoek Pizza are both close by, so plan accordingly." - willa moore, bryan kim, neha talreja, matt tervooren, molly fitzpatrick
"Strong Rope Brewery isn't technically a restaurant, because it doesn't serve food. But it does allow you to bring your own food, which means you can get takeout from any of the spots on this list—plus dessert from Steve's—and eat it on the large outdoor patio, which has glorious views of the water and the Statue Of Liberty. Come with a big group, spread out at a picnic table with flights of beer, and pretend New York is a beach town." - willa moore, hannah albertine
