About Bitter & Esters

Douglas Amport and John LaPolla, motivated by their knowledge and passion for brewing, founded Bitter & Esters in July of 2011. Fueled by their desire to inspire, educate and nurture the growing homebrew community in a friendly space, they conceived of Bitter & Esters as a brew on premises location, homebrew supply shop, and classroom space. With access to resources, supplies and expertise, it is a creative hub for sharing brew tips and techniques. Bitter & Esters fosters a deep commitment to the craft of brewing.

Anyone can learn how, so stop by! See what you can brew.

Testimonials

Can't recommend this place enough. As a beginner homebrewer this was my go to place for supplies. The staff are great and extremely knowledgeable about the brewing process, ingredients, and equipment. If you are thinking of getting into brewing this is the place to visit.

Daniel G.

Bitter & Esters is one of the best kept secrets of NYC and honestly it makes me so happy that shops like this still exist in this city. I did the homebrewing 101 class and had a blast and learnt so much. I felt so inspired that I came home and immediately started brewing my own batch

Mariano C.

Great place to visit if you're getting into homebrewing or even if you know what you're doing. The staff is extremely helpful and will walk you through the process and even give you suggestions on whatever ideas you may have.
