On March 5, Steinway & Sons and SingleCut Beersmiths @singlecutbeer marked the 173rd anniversary of Steinway’s founding in New York City with a joint celebration in Astoria, Queens, honoring two neighborhood institutions united by craft, community, and place. At SingleCut Brewery, they unveiled “Artisans of Astoria,” a commemorative dry-hopped Altbier brewed for the collaboration.
Steinway & Sons acquired more than 400 acres of land in Queens in the late 1860s and began building pianos in Astoria in the early 1870s. SingleCut, founded in Astoria in 2012 as Queens’ first production brewery since Prohibition, is located just around the corner from the Steinway factory, a proximity that helped inspire this collaboration and its shared emphasis on artistry, engineering, and tradition.
Do you remember?
We’ve seen a whole lotta changes in our 12 years, and we’re in the midst of a huge game of Jenga moving fermenters around redoing our Astoria space in prep for Saturday’s 12th Anniversary celebration we’ll be hosting.
More trips down memory lane to come between now and Saturday, stay tuned.

Look at that satisfied guy! That's our owner and head brewer Rich in his happy place - a proper English Pub. And right here in NYC! Discovered via the YouTube channel InsideHook, subtitled "I Know A Place" (highly recommended, a video blog of great NYC drink oriented spots) The Shakespeare is a very cozy, warm place with a true English menu and cask ale. We know you cask ale fanatics are out there, please take note! 🍻
We had a fantastic night last week at one of our fav Brooklyn spots, Brouwerij Lane - an OG of craft beer in NYC. Natch we brought along our vinyl rig to accompany our brews offered, it's how we do. And thanks to the great local community that came out, we love it when a pub has such a fantastic group of regulars. ❤️
To those that like to pair our beer with music, food etc we now offer a new pairing: Two 4-packs are now available at a discount from our Tap Rooms. Why? Because we luv ya! Available now. 🍻
Tasting Notes: OH LA LA! ❤️
The honey you're tasting is 100% real honey (and a very rare variety at that), no extracts or other tricks. Real ginger and lemon too. We venture to say you've not tried a beer like this, now available.
