At The Test Brewery on Metropolitan Ave, we pair small-batch craft drinks with breads, pastries, and pantry staples made from scratch daily. No shortcuts, no compromises — just food and drink that tastes like it was made for you.
We're not just a bakery or a brewery — we're a neighborhood gathering place where quality ingredients meet honest work.
Every loaf, roll, and pastry is mixed, shaped, and baked in-house each morning. We batch small so nothing sits overnight — you get what just came out of the oven.
Our rotating taps feature local and house-brewed ales, lagers, and seasonal stouts. Every pour is matched to complement what's fresh on the bread board.
We source from nearby farms and bakeries whenever we can. Our regulars know our faces, and we know how they take their coffee. That's the point.
The Test Brewery started with a simple idea: what if a bakery and a brewery shared the same door? Not as a gimmick, but because bread and beer have always belonged together — both are made from grain, water, time, and patience.
Since opening our doors at 302 Metropolitan Ave, we've been feeding the neighborhood one sourdough loaf and one pint at a time. Our bakers arrive before dawn. Our brewers work weekends. We believe that showing up consistently is the real craft.

BakeryDon't take our word for it — here's what our regulars have to say.
"I stop here every Saturday morning before my walk. The sourdough is the best I've had in Brooklyn, and the staff remembers my order. It feels like a real neighborhood spot — rare these days."
"Brought my family here for Sunday brunch and everyone left happy. The pastries are incredible, and the beer selection kept the adults entertained. We'll be back next month."
"As a home baker, I appreciate the technique in their loaves. The crust, the open crumb, the fermentation — you can tell they care. The stout in winter is a game-changer."
We're right on Metropolitan Ave in the heart of Brooklyn. Walk in any time during our hours — there's always something fresh on the counter and at least one new brew on tap.
