In the Chelsea arts district, this indoor-outdoor tasting room and brewery has an inviting neighborhood feel, plus there's usually a food truck handy to supply sustenance. If you like Hefeweizen (wheat beer), give the seasonal Sommer Fling a try (April to December). There are free brewery tours every hour between 1pm and 4pm on Saturday.
