Transmitter Brewing is slated to open in early 2014, but we’ll be getting a sneak peak of their ales at the Fall Market this Saturday.
Anthony of Transmitter gave us the low-down on the kinds of brews we can look forward to this winter. Oh, and we hope you like yeast because these brewers certainly do.
GP: What do you love about beer making?
Anthony: We make delicious beer because we love to collaborate with yeast. Yeast is kind and gentle and deserves our generosity, respect and admiration.
Anthony: We specialize in rustic farmhouse ales that revolve around the flavors provided by wild yeast and hop combinations.
GP: From who/where do you draw inspiration?
Anthony: I’m inspired by microbiologists that make it their career to study yeast.
GP: What’s your main goal for the company?
Anthony: We hope to provide the neighborhood with a beer they can call their own.
GP: is your product eco-friendly/handmade?
Anthony: Our beer is 100% handmade and hand-bottled, labeled, corked and packaged. Oh yeah, and it’s made with 100% recycled yeast.
GP: Are you excited to be part of the Greenpointers market?
Anthony: Yes, this is actually going to be the first tasting event that we’ve done! We’re looking forward to sharing our beer and giving people a sense of what to expect in the coming months.
GP: What are your favorite Greenpoint food/drinks?
Anthony: Iced coffee from Propeller, chicken from Anella, beer in the backyard at Browerij Lane, and Onigiri at Ashbox all approach perfection.
