A lot can change in a couple years. In April 2014, Good Beer Hunting founder Michael Kiser was in New York to speak at an event. He and I took the opportunity to go on one of Joshua M. Bernstein’s always-fun homebrew tours. The theme of this particular tour was homebrewers who had recently “gone pro” and opened a brewery. It was on the tour that I first met Rob Kolb and Anthony Accardi. The pair had just opened Transmitter Brewing in Long Island City at the edge of the Newtown Creek. They set up shop right below the Pulaski Bridge, which loomed above and cast a long shadow over their new digs. The two were old friends, ex-bike racers, and avid homebrewers before they went into business together.

Now, with just a couple years under their belt, and the New York City brew scene continuing its expansion, they’ve also expanded, upping their production and sending their Belgian-inspired farmhouse beers all over the city. Almost two years to the day from our homebrew tour introduction, I sat down with Kolb and Accardi to see how things are progressing.
