Specialties
Big Alice Brewing is serving up some of the most interesting and original flavor forward craft brews you’ll ever have the pleasure of tasting.
We’re a nano-brewery, which means we produce very small batches of craft beer. That gives us the flexibility to be creative and experiment with a variety of ingredients and flavor combinations that you might not expect.
We’re also a New York State Farm Brewery, which means our beers are made from locally grown farm ingredients. Locally-sourced hops and malts produce craft beers with the freshest artisanal flavors while also supporting our state’s farmers.
Stop by and try some of our brews such as the Sour One, Freedom Bock, Hibiskas Goes-uh, or the Cascade Single Hop Sour.
We think you’ll love the results. Our taproom in Long Island City is open 5 days a week for flights, pints, and growler fills. Come join us!
History
Established in 2013.
Big Alice Brewing was born because of a shared passion for homebrewing among co-workers at Arista Air Conditioning in Long Island City. As we shared ideas, recipes and the results of our creative experiments, we fueled our mutual enthusiasm for craft beer as well as our brewing expertise. After a great deal of planning, the brewery officially opened in 2013 with a capacity to brew 60 gallons per month. Then in 2014, we purchased a larger brewhouse that increased our yield to 155 gallons for each batch! That allowed us to make the switch from bottled to draft beer. Today, we produce 6 new craft beers every season, and we do still offer a few beers in bottles.

Business Owner
Kyle Hurst (Co-founder/Brewer)
Kyle is originally from Wisconsin. Wisconsinites are fiercely passionate about their beer. Like so many of his peers, Kyle’s beer drinking career began at a tender age. After discussing this new lifestyle choice with a judge at the local court house, Kyle found that he also enjoyed giving back to the community. However, it wasn’t until well after he was on the right side of the law that he tasted a friend’s homebrew in the mid-nineties that he was even aware of the many possibilities that beer possessed. Beer drinking could be an event for all the senses, so his mouth invited his eyes and nose to the party. Seeing Kyle’s intrigue, his wife bought him his first homebrew kit as a Father’s Day gift the following June. He brewed on and off for the coming years trying as many different styles as he could because at that time in Wisconsin, despite the tradition, variety was not very large part of the commercial beer landscape.
