NEW YORK CITY | Folksbier Brauerei opened their taproom in 2017, just around the corner from Other Half Brewing, and offers visitors the chance to enjoy beers that are a bit different than what the rest are offering. The focus at Folksbier Brauerei is on traditional beers and brewing techniques. Since 2014, they’ve even been growing all of their own hops on a farm in Northern Michigan.
The taproom is small, but has a surprisingly cozy atmosphere, with warm lighting, lots of wood, a few communal tables and bar seats. Think a traditional German beer hall, shrunk to the size of a small room, in a warehouse. On the nine taps you’ll find an assortment of traditional beers, and tasting paddles are offered if you want to try a few things. The staff are all very knowledgeable and can you talk through what’s available at any given time.
We love the Glow Up, a 4.0% ABV Berliner-style weisse with an ample wheat body, that’s soured using Lactobacillus for a tart, sour finish. Different seasonal fruits are added depending on the time of year which adds a nice element to the beer. We also enjoy the Selvina, an 8.0% ABV bière de garde featuring a rich malt character brewed with rosehips. It’s deep gold in color, with an interesting interplay between spicy noble hops and citric zing.
