AirBnBeer: Brewing Connections
In 2017, we hosted our very first AirBnBeer Experience at our Harlem Brewdio, located at 453 W. 141st Street. This wasn’t just any event—it was one of the first experiences launched by Brian Chesky and Airbnb in NYC. Our Brew Craft Beer in Harlem experience ran for 2–3 hours, brewing small batches (1–3 gallons) and bringing together beer lovers and the beer-curious from around the block and across the globe.
It was more than brewing—it was about community. As we stirred and sipped, we shared stories, discussed current events, and sometimes capped the night with dinner or drinks at a neighborhood spot. Locals returned later to pick up their bottled brews, while visitors came for the joy of connection. Over the years, we welcomed aspiring brewers, fathers and sons, best friends, office teams, date nights, class reunions, Valentine’s celebrations—even a marriage proposal and an engagement!
The pandemic brought this chapter to a close, along with a property dispute that led to the sale of our building. But we packed up and brewed on! We’re deeply grateful to Dr. Valerie Daly and the visionary team at St. Martin’s Church Vestry for giving us the “hopportunity” and supporting local entrepreneurs.
Today, our brewing experience is on the road, and we can’t wait to share a brew in a neighborhood near you.
Stay tuned for our next stop on Airbnb and check out other upcoming events and experiences.
Cheers!
