New York State’s first sake brewery was first co

New York State’s first sake brewery was first conceived, naturally enough, over a chance encounter drinking sake in Japan; founding partners Brian Polen and Brandon Doughan were in the country for a mutual friends’ wedding in 2013, and quickly bonded over an appreciation for the quality and variety of sake they had encountered on their trip. Having seen the craft beer explosion in the US they naturally wondered, “why not sake?”.

When they returned, they started to experiment with home-brewed batches on improvised equipment. And once the yields from their self-taught, home sake operation reached a level that they were happy with, they took the leap in 2018, opening a brewery and taproom in Sunset Park: BROOKLYN KURA!

We’ve visited the brewery countless times, often in the company of visiting sake craftspeople from Japan who are a little awed by the creativity employed to overcome the lack of equipment and resources… and who are also naturally skeptical of how good the sake can be. It never gets old to watch their eyes go wide as they taste what these two Americans have been working on and see what they have accomplished in just eight short years.

Today on #skurnikunfiltered, we’re introducing Brooklyn Kura, who today is producing some of the best sake being made outside of Japan. We’re excited to bring their efforts to a wider audience and share with everyone just how great American-made sake can be.
