Also known as the S. Liebmann’s Sons Brewing Co., this brewery was demolished in 1981 and the Bushwick lot has sat vacant since then. As of August, Simon Dushinsky’s Rabsky Group has been working to develop 977 units across 10 buildings on the site, with the centerpiece being a 392-unit ODA-designed structure at 10 Montieth Street.

While the main brewery was located up at at 10 Montieth Street, this site was also part of Rheingold's Brooklyn empire. Since the early 2000s, it has been the Rheingold Gardens affordable housing complex. [Image via Bluestone]

The Nassau Brewing Company made beer on this Crown Heights site until 1914, after which Heinz used the site to produce canned goods. By 1941, it was a used car and auto body shop. By 2001, it belonged to a moving and storage company. As of January, the plan by Crow Hill and architect Formactiv is to convert it into a mixed-use complex with ground-floor retail and 38 apartments. There is even talk of a restaurant in the underground vaults that date back to 1860. [Image via Brownstoner>]

After operating at sites in Manhattan on Broadway, Seventh Avenue, and Park Avenue, Schaefer began producing beer at this Williamsburg site in 1916. It did so until the company announced the site’s closure in 1976. By that time, Schaefer had a new brewery running near Allentown, Pennsylvania. In 2006, a new mixed-use building opened on the south end of the site. Called Schaefer Landing, it has two towers jutting up from its base, and houses 350 residential units.

This is the site of two warehouses that served the brewery. The are being demolished so former New York governor turned real estate man Eliot Spitzer can built three 24-story, ODA-designed residential buildings that will hold 856 rental apartments.

William Ulmer was a German immigrant who, in 1871, founded his own eponymous brewery. In the 1890s, he constructed the machine house and engine room on this block in Bushwick—and though Prohibition all but ended the brewery's production, the buildings remain. Along with a two-story office building constructed in 1885, they were designated as landmarks by the Landmarks Preservation Commission in 2010. The machine house and engine room are on the market and ripe for residential conversion while the office is privately owned. [Image via LPC]

The Hell Gate Brewery was created by German immigrant George Ehret in 1866, and by 1877, it was the largest brewery in the country. Named for its proximity to the Hell Gate section of the East River, it occupied the entire area stretching between 91st and 94th Streets and Second and Third Avenues. It stayed open after Ehret’s death, but his family eventually sold out to neighboring brewer Jacob Ruppert in 1935. The area is now occupied by several buildings, some of them residential.
