If you’re near the Brooklyn Navy Yard and you have a ride home, this is the time to sample, purchase, or simply drool over Kings County Distillery’s coffee whiskey and bourbons. Their specialty spirits are mashed, fermented, distilled, and aged inside the Yard’s red brick Paymaster Building. Their heart is in the city, as their non-GMO grains are grown completely in New York. What began as the smallest commercial distillery in the country has become an award-sweeping staple for Brooklyn visitors.
