Talea Williamsburg
On a recent visit to the flagship location of one of the hottest craft beer brands in NYC, I joined other NYU Alumni for a great night of networking for a true culinary experience hosted by Tara Hankinson, one of the co-founders of this women-owned brewery. Along with LeAnn Darland, the other co-founder their combined namesake is the inspiration for their brand TALEA. Talea was in the middle of breaking ground on their first location right in the middle of covid in 2020, and had its opening delayed until March 2021. They are now rolling with having added their 4th location next to Bryant Park, earlier this winter. They now have 2 locations in Brooklyn (Williamsburg and Carroll Gardens), and two locations in Manhattan (West Village and Midtown) as they pass their 6-year anniversary. The Williamsburg location is where all their production takes place, and is a vibrant part of the North Brooklyn craft beer scene. In their current portfolio, the Al Dente Italian Style Pilsner is one of the stars, along with Sun Up, a West Coast Style IPA that has been getting solid distribution off premise in NYC. Their bagel inspired Lemon Basil Lager from the Weekender Series, was a new limited run entry that launched for Earth Day as a collaboration with Black Seed Bagel and Gotham Greens to turn surplus bagels and reduce waste into a craft beer delight. They continue to innovate and are changing the perception of craft beer in NYC and beyond.
