Ok so something that Jonathan Lewis knows (as well as the rest of us as it’s been covered in the news) is that Transmitter Brewing is moving its operations to the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Why is this relevant? They occupied a building that sat right under the Pulaski bridge.

Bourough-Straddling Stadium here we come!!!!!
transmitter brewing, holy crap i love this companies marketing. the subtle handwritten notes on the labels feel like something i'd find in my grandfather's cellar. he passed before i was born but the dude tinkered and saved all his stuff and i used to love rummaging around down there when I would visit my grandma in the bronx. I like beer but ill admit I don't do enough sampling of the local craft brewer. I might just order a case to give it a try. but damn they have so many varieties, don't think I'd even scratch the surface.

I'd recommend a visit to the brewery for anyone that likes craft beer and hasn't been there. It's maybe a 5 min walk from the hunters point station. Tiny place but they typically have 3-4 beers available for a free tasting. Almost every time I've gone at least one of the two owners is there either working on brewing or talking to customers. Really nice guys worth supporting and they brew some very interesting different beers. They exclusively brew wild/farmhouse style beers which isn't for everyone but worth a try. They cultivate their own wild yeast strains and it's truly impressive the wide variety of flavors they can produce with them.
 
I had a subscription from Transmitter for a while because I wanted to support a local Queens place and they were my favorites after I tried a bunch, including Finback, Big Alice, and SingleCut. I only dropped it because I couldn't keep up. I don't really drink that much at home. But I highly recommend it.

Same, their CSB subscription is a good deal but it gets hard to keep up with after a while.

I was gonna ask if anyone knows if dogs are welcome, but on the side i just wanted to check google maps to see if i ever passed by the place and wouldn't you know it they have a tie line for dogs. I might just check this place out the next (semi-)warm weekend after taking the pup out to run.

Yeah that's one of the owners dog's that always there with him. The place is about a laid back as it can get, doubt they would have any issue with you bringing your dog along.
 
^that would be amazing. But I think if they were that far along with stadium plans to tell season ticket holders, someone out there would have gotten word of it and wrote a news article. We can hope.

I have not seen any updates on the belmont park proposal. I wonder if that's still on the table. Personally, I think it's too far and outside city limits is not good for a CITY team. If it's still on the table, hope they change their minds and look for something better.

I think it's crazy that they haven't been able to find a location to build a stadium within city limits. Of course, I am admittedly completely ignorant about the logistics involved in finding a location and getting the requisite approvals and such out of the way.

It would be fantastic to get news of a new stadium prior to the 2018 season.

Their seating area is literally a table or two plunked down in the brewing area. Super laid back, no problems at all with a dog.
