This was a cool night organized by Morlene and Yelp to try out beer in Eckhart Beer Co. I love the beer so much. They specialized in Czech and German beer. Nick, the owner was very nice and warm in welcoming Yelp Elites to try out beer and gave a tour in their brewery room. The equipment was so shiny and big in the brewery room where we learned how beer was made. It was a cool experience looking at the shiny silver equipment everywhere. It looked very expensive! I loved how they plastered high up in the walls on the first floor of the name of each beer. It looked so cool with the yellow backlight highlighting the beer. The place looked kind of like a Japanese setting with the walls and the wooden grid line plastered high up next to the staircase by the entrance. It gave me Asian vibes even though the whole place is all about European beer. The lighting was dark so it felt intimate even though there was a lot of people. We got started with a free beer for each person. The bartenders recommended the Czech lagers and there were 3 of them on the menu. I saw some Elites holding the round short mug of very foamy beer. It looked very appealing so I went for the Czech Style Amber Lager and I was glad I made that pick. It was very good and balanced in my mouth. Nothing stood out in my mouth for me to complain. All the ingredients balanced well together when I took every sip. I was happy for that. I don't like some ingredient standing out in my mouth with the after taste of it. I think it was the spiciness and bitterness blended together with caramel and fruit, which was a good mix. It was not even heavy and the foam made it very good to sip. I got another drink in the middle of the night after I finished my first drink and it was the Helles Lager. That one was not as foamy as the Czech amber lager. It was more tart in my opinion. It was still good though and pretty light. It was also not much in alcohol content. Just around 5% ABV so that was nice. Apart from the beer, we were offered an entree of either a brat dog (meat) or falafel dog (vegan). I got the brat dog and it looked so nice when I saw it. The kraut on the dog looked very cool. The sausage was pale brown so it looked high quality. It was not your average red plain dog. The brioche bun was crispy and looked very appealing. My first time trying this style hot dog. After the entree, I got to try out their chocolate mousse dessert in a nice coupe cocktail glass. It looked very exquisite. The oil and whipped cream made the whole dessert very exquisite. The oil was a nice touch, something that most desserts would never have so it was my first time trying it out like the brat dog in brioche. Apart from the entree, the staff was nice and let us try out salmon roe appetizers. I had two and the salmon roe was very crunchy. I loved how the juice came out immediately when I bit into the salmon roe. Overall, the food was very sophisticated and over the top. I was so happy and grateful to have try them out. Once again, I want to thank Morlene and Yelp for this well put together event. I want to go back to get more of their Czech lager! I also got a nice red scarf to end the night!
What a lovely Yelp Elite event at this classy, spacious 2 story brewery! We were upstairs, which had plenty of seating with tables and bar area. The interior was beautiful with high ceilings, areas of booth seating, cool lighting, deep wood and green color scheme. There was a welcoming vibe, helping transport us to another world and keeping us cozy and comfortable from the crazy thunderstorm. Upon entering, we were able to choose a beverage of our choice. I selected a Sparkling Shrub, flavored with Raspberry, Mint, and Lemon. This was light, bubbly, and refreshing. After being seated, we were served Kartoffelpuffer, a rectangular fried potato cake appetizer topped with crème fraiche, dill, scallions, and salmon roe. This was absolutely delicious and addicting. The hash brown style potato cake was satisfyingly crispy, while the savory cream, mingled with the toppings were fresh and well seasoned. Nick, the owner came out to introduce himself and we received a tour of the brewery. It was cool to see the shiny equipment and get a behind the scenes look at how beer is made. For the food, I shared a Bratwurst Dog and Falafel Dog with one of my table mates. I enjoyed the Brat Dog more, but the Falafel Dog was still tasty. The Brat was made in house with brioche bun, sauerkraut, scallions and mustard. The Brat was cooked perfectly, juicy, and full of flavor. The Falafel Dog came with tzatziki, hot sauce, pickled shallots, and herbs. This was seasoned well, though the falafel was a bit on the dry side. Dessert was Malted Chocolate Mousse, elegantly served in a pretty wine glass. The Chocolate Mousse came with a Malted Shortbread Cookie. The Chocolate Mousse was wonderfully rich and velvety smooth, with pure chocolate taste. The Shortbread Cookie was such a yummy bite. Much appreciation to Nick for opening up his establishment to us. Staff were all super hospitable and friendly! I will have to return, because there were additional dishes on the menu that looked so tempting, such as the Crispy Pork Belly, Lemon Pepper Wings (only on Wednesday), and Spaetzle Gratin. Huge thank you to Morlene, Peter (former Brooklyn CM made an appearance!), and Yelp for a wonderful evening!
Had such a great experience at Eckhart Beer Co.! I had the crispy pork belly, cucumber salad, smoked marinated olives, and the brat sandwich and everything was absolutely delicious and packed with flavor. The pork belly was definitely a standout. I also tried a beer flight and really enjoyed every pour. You can tell they take their craft beer seriously. The brewery tour was another highlight and made the whole experience even more fun. Great atmosphere, great food, and great beer. I'll definitely be back! Thanks Morlene for another great Yelp event.
Great event! Great location. Very close to the L train. Good sign when the owner greets you and welcomes you in! I started off with an IPA. After Nick explained that they specialized in Czech and German beers, I realized I needed to try a flight. I enjoyed all the lagers I tried. The food was amazing! The falafel hotdogs was made with love! The dessert was delicious! It was chocolaty, creamy and crunchy! A great finish! I will definitely be back! The vibe is so chill!
An enjoyable Wednesday night out with wonderful people. Didn't even notice a thunderstorm happening! Upon entry, it was a brightly lit hall before the main space. Once we said we were part of the yelp event, we were informed to head upstairs. Upstairs was pretty open but somehow cozy. Bathroom is actually by the staircase, super convenient. After checking in, we headed over to the tap for some beer! Beer selection was pretty good and I went for the German Pilsner which was light and crisp. This was perfect for the night. We sipped our beer and had the chance to order food, while one half of us went on a brewery tour. The tour was short but informative (learning about the process, safety, and where the sugar comes from!) filled with tons of barrels. By the time the tour was over, our food was ready. I was "adventurous" and opted for the falafel dog but went 50/50 with another yelper for the brat dog. Don't think I've had falafel on brioche bread before and the result was a bit mixed. It was tasty but a bit dry despite the add-ins. Travis, our server was super receptive to the feedback like adding Sauer kraut like you would the brat dog and said that they're still tweaking it. I also appreciated the chocolate mousse dessert. It was a nice way to end the night. Thank you so much to the Eckhart Beer Team and Yelp team! Got a 4 pack to share the experience at home.
Great Yelp event. This was a great addition to my collection of Brooklyn brewing companies. I walked away with a great overview of their brewing process how they differ with their use of German and other European hops. And the space is really cool and open. The Brat Dog was amazing as were the lemon pepper and buffalo wings I took to go.
A restaurant and a brewery tucked together in one venue. That offers German and Czech lager beers along with the culinary experience enhancing the specialized beers here. It was a true niche experience and you can feel the hands-on detailed touches from the owner of this establishment. Along with the culinary experience, we also were given a grand tour of how IPAs and Lagers are made. And how the process is for Eckhart's beers are. It's a secret and what makes this business' beer to be one of the best beer products made in NYC. The main floor is well structured with a nice retro bar and restaurant dining space. As someone who has tasted many beers from various European countries, this is one of the closest in taste I've had to an authentic German lager. So much more food is offered here too and curious how the other offered items on the menu will compliment their specialized beers. Well done Eckhart. Until next time for sure.
So I came here a week before by accident and was greeted by the owner, because his greeting was so warm I stayed around for a brew and wings, no complaints on either. Fast forward a week later and this was a really dope event. You can feel the authenticity not just in the service and the food but also in the beer you drink. The owner is passionate about his brewery and I'm sure Eckhart will be a force soon. It is very nice inside and could be mistaken at first for a fine dining restaurant, I think that adds to the aura of this establishment. Definitely recommended and will be here again. 5 stars
Absolutely gorgeous brewery! Close to the trains and a walkable area in BK, Echart Beer Co is well located. From the outside you can't tell what's all inside but when you get in, the space is amazing. There is a lower and upper level and a bar area in the back. The spaces are well designed and you could totally host events there. We were greeted by the owner, who was so pleasant and nice. The event was upstairs, which over looks the bar area..the vibe was more than a brewery, it kinda felt fancy. First was a glass of beer. I had the Czech-style dark lager and it was the smoothest dark lager I've ever had. So light, cold and refreshing. I would go back just to try all the beer. The Czech - German style pour is definitely my style. For an app we were served a kartoffelpuffer with salmon roe, which was so crispy and tasty. I could have had several of those. As for the main I had the Brat dog, which is served on a brioche bun with kraut and mustard.. the bun was the star for me. It was tasted well and so buttery. The sausage was great but it was a little too soft. I like a sausage with a bit to it. And to end it off was the malted Chocolate Mousse which was by far the best ive ever had.. id go back just for that! There are so many things on the menu I would love to try. Definitely want to go back!
Five stars for Eckhart beer co, Nick, and Travis! You can really sense the passion and excitement into what goes into the beer and the establishment and it was contagious! They are very thoughtful about their details from the menu to how they've designed the space to be consistent with German and Czech beer Halls. I ordered an IPA and my thought to myself was this is very drinkable, compared to other IPAs and it made sense after Nick explained that they try to keep the ABVs low so that people can just take their time, hang out, have 4 pints and not get wasted. In other words, European beer culture. I also thought the food was quite good. I really like the potato puff with the roe and enjoyed the brat dog. I took a bite of someone else's falafel dog. I will say that was a bit dry, but still enjoyable maybe needs more toppings to make it a bit more moist or crispy. Overall, I really enjoyed my time at Eckhart and can see myself coming back very soon!
When I joined Yelp Elite, this is exactly the kind of event I imagined going to. Huge shoutout to Morlene for putting together such a fun night that had a little bit of everything: free food, a tour, welcome swag when you walked in, and free drinks. This was one of those events you post on your Instagram story and immediately get hit with "wait... where is this?!"
This is my first yelp elite event. I was honestly pretty nervous about going to this event since I didn't really know anyone, but it turned out to be way better than I expected. Finally met the CM in person! The atmosphere was welcoming, everyone was friendly, and it was actually easy to start conversations. I ended up meeting some really cool people and had a genuinely good time. Definitely glad I pushed myself to go! I got complimentary yelp socks! Shortly after the event started, the owner brought us to brewer and explained the beer making process. He is very knowledgeable and used terms that is easy for everyone to understand. They had a bowl of salty mixed nuts to go with beers on each table. The small bites with rectangular potatoes topped with salmon row was delicious! I got a choice of brat dog. I love the toasted brioche bun! In my experience, the sauerkraut that I had were usually very "wet". The sauerkraut here has just the perfect amount of moisture and were "dryer" than the ones I had previously. The meat was also good! The chocolate mousse is smooth and creamy without being overly airy. It is giving rich and indulgent, almost like a ganache or pudding. The cookie that came with it is a perfect palate cleanser after finishing the mousse. I would love to visit again to try the other food!
Eckhart Brewery felt how the Yelp community feels: warm, personable, and intentional. It was so clear that owner Nick had such a passion for his craft and I was surprised by how interested I was to learn about the fermentation process. It certainly helped that I got to enjoy a giant mug of Svetle Special, a bready malt with hints of caramel, throughout the evening. After a lovely brewery tour, I was so pleased to return to a table of braut and it truly exceeded my expectations. I don't usually love sauerkraut, but something about the tanginess of this one really won me over. The crunch of the bun was truly perfect and I wish I had more than one! To round out the experience, we had a delicious bite of chocolate mousse, with some sea salt and oil drizzle that pulled out all the right flavors. The fact that it was a smaller portion made it that much more memorable and it was a great, light, sweet treat to finish up the meal. Thanks so much to Yelp, Morlene, and the Eckhart team for another great event.
Not a beer drinker but i throughly enjoyed this event & dare I say new spot to add to my go to list?! The space itself it's beautiful. Bright and airy even on a rainy day. The owner is a former chef and it definitely shows. Everything was delicious from the crispy potato bites, brat dog, crispy pork belly and the perfect chocolate mousse for dessert! I'd definitely come back for the brat dog and chocolate mousse. All the servers were friendly which is always a plus! I tried the Helles Lager and it was good but I'm just not a beer girl. Everyone else at my table enjoyed their beers and got more so that says something! read more

What a wonderful experience! The space has multiple levels and is very aesthetically pleasing. All yelpers received a free beverage. I ordered the Helles Lager and was told that Czech beer is known for foamy beer. For my second beer, I chose the Czech-style amber lager. I really enjoyed that one as well. We had the option of a Brat Dog or a Falafel Dog--I chose the Brat Dog which was delicious. One of the yelpers at my table ordered the pork belly. The green sauce that accompanied it was to die for. We also had the Kartoffelpuffer, a crispy potato with salmon roe. First of all, I love potatoes so they could have passed the whole tray to me. For dessert, we had chocolate mousse with drizzled olive oil. If not for the fact that I was in public, I would have licked the dish. It was that good. The food was sublime, which I wouldn't necessarily expect from a bar/brewery but we learned that the owner is also a chef. It definitely showed. We got to tour the brewery part and learn about the brewing process. The owner said that most of their beers have low to medium ABV, which I like. The service was wonderful, you can tell that they take pride in their beer! It was better to be here than in the torrential downpour that occurred while inside. Thanks to the Eckhart Beer Company for opening their doors to us, and thanks Morlene/Yelp Brooklyn for organizing this delicious event. read more

Had an amazing time at this Yelp event! We toured the brewery and learned about the beer-making process from the owner, who was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate. The brewery itself is beautiful, spacious, and has a great atmosphere with two levels and TVs perfect for game nights. The food was delicious. the kartoffelpuffer with spicy aioli was crispy and flavorful, the brat dog on a buttery brioche bun was delicious, and the lemon pepper wings were perfectly crispy and juicy. I also tried a beer flight and especially loved the IPA. The beers had unique flavors without feeling too heavy or bloating. Everything is made in-house, and you can truly taste the quality. Definitely a great spot to impress a beer lover or enjoy a fun night out! read more

It has been too long since I've been to an Elite event. This was the perfect event for a rekindle. I saw some old friends! Hi Peter D! And made some new friends. Alysha J. was my buddy for the event. We got some sweet seats and enjoyed those first Kolsch beers. Followed by the potato latke with salmon roe. We did not hold back on the second round of potatoes. The tour was informative and personal. Love hearing the back story of the brewery. People are appreciating those light, crisp beers a lot more, for sure. It's no longer the world of the IPA. The staff was friendly, detailed and personal. Love the veggie falafel dog option. It was a treat! The dessert was the prefect ending. Love a chocolate mousse. The brewery itself felt classy. Perfect for a special event but also for drinks with friends. Thank you Eckhart and your delicious German inspired brews. And thank you Morlene C.! Very helpful tips for my upcoming trip. read more
Katoffelpuffer. This was an awesome event and exceeded beyond my expectations. Can we have a brewery event once a month every month? Lol. It was great to see some old time Yelpers and even Peter D! For my first beer I went with the Czech Style Dark Lager. It was fantastic, smooth, and roasty. After a couple of Katoffelpuffers were passed around (I could legit eat a million of these) we went on a brief mini tour of the brewery. But back to the katoffelpuffers. These babies are like giant potato hash brown sticks slathered with dill creme fraiche and dolloped with a generous amount of roe. I'm in heaven. The brewery is gorgeous and well designed in itself and the tour just convinced me to wait out the epic thunderstorm and do an entire flight of brews. I went with for my flight: the Kolsch, Gose, Adambier, and the Svelte Special. I think my favorites were the Dark Lager, Kolsch, and Gose ultimately of what I tried. I also appreciate that the beer isn't curtailed to being mostly IPAs because that gets exhausting after awhile. For our food I decided to go halfsies with someone on the regular bratwurst and the falafel brat. I definitely preferred the meat bratwurst. The bun was a smidgeon over-toasted on both was the only big thing I noticed but that may be just a matter of preference. The chocolate mousse for dessert was delicious. Couldn't figure out for the life of me what the syrup in it was but it was tasty with a hint of salt. I liked the beer so much I went home with a 4 pack of some of the ones I hadn't tried and also because my boyfriend was already jealous over my event and I couldn't come home empty handed. I'd definitely check this spot out again and hope they maybe have a happy hour in the near future. Love my new Yelp scarf. Many thanks Morlene and Peter for a great event. read more

What a fun event! I liked the decor of the brewery and how spacious it was, there were 2 floors with lots of seating and tables. We got a choice of Yelp swag and I chose socks. The owner took us on a tour of the brewery downstairs and explained how they made their brews. Their beers and food were really good, they definitely know what they're doing. The brat dog and chocolate mousse were so yummy! read more
Had a stellar time at the event and am in love with the brewery! So stunning! Really enjoyed the tour and the ability to ask questions about the beer making process. The beer was delicious and so was the creative food. Definitely will be telling my friends about this spot. Will be visiting again with a group this summer! read more
Thanks yelp for creating this event where I attended my first brewery tour. It was super informative and well organized. The tour vibe was very casual and hospitable. The staff and the owner made sure everyone was fed had a drink and went ob a tour. Most of us ordered more food options. I had a hard time deciding between the bratwurst or the falafel. Honestly one couldn't go wrong either way. The food was so fresh and taste good. I knew the ingredients were good quality. Even the bratwurst roll was suoer tasty. I almost ordered the beet salad but got wings instead. Oh yeah lol Eckhart is a brewery. I drank a beer cocktail and ordered a hard cider in addition which were super good. The space had an eclectic movie theater vibe moved with comfy booth / date night seating. The seating gave a tropical vibe on the lower level. The tour was the main highlight. It was inspiring to hear the owners why and how. Basically if anyone reading this wants to open up a business go for it. I also learned that lagers take the longest to process. I wound recommend the wings because they were tender juicy and served with carrots and celery. I purchased the lemon pepper flavor. The chocolate mousse desert was also really good. I will definitely order the beet salad on my next visit. read more

When Morlene hooks it up you go! You feast on crispy fried potatoes with crème fresh, ikura, dill and chives. When you've had enough of all the breweries serving ipas you visit Eckhart beer co. Started with a gose, then moved to a flight of Czech and German style pilsners. Getting here took over an hour and 20 minutes but I'd do it time and time again to see Peter D, Carolina, Morlene, Mateo, and Ingrid. Tonight felt like an OG reunion. The staff were amazing, the kitchen churned out incredible food. The Bratwurst was phenomenal , the wings looked incredible, and the chocolate mousse was chefs kiss. Can't wait to come back and just hang in this gorgeous venue all evening long. Thank you to the owner who was so passionate about his brew house and showed us the set up. The excitement in his voice as he told us all the intricacies of brewing ipas for two weeks versus a pilsner that has to be at 48° for 8 weeks was mesmerizing. Incredible event. Thank you to everyone! read more
This event was such a great experience! I'm not usually a big beer drinker, but I actually learned a lot about the brewing process. The brewery tour was really interesting and fun to see behind the scenes. It was a cool experience. The brat dog was delicious, and I enjoyed the chocolate mousse for dessert. read more
Had such a fun time hanging with fellow helpers at Eckhart Beer Co.! Although I'm not much of a beer drinker, I enjoyed my cider and loved learning about the brewing process happening behind the scenes. The space itself is beautiful, and a lot more welcoming than other beer bars I've been too. You can tell they care about their craft here and have a lot of excitement in the future of the space. I also appreciate having a falafel dog as an option on the menu for those of us who don't eat meat! This seems like a great spot to hang with some friends and I hope they get plenty of business this summer!! read more

I loved this venue. I've never been in a "cozy" feeling brewery before, especially with such great food. The falafel dog was better than I could have imagined, the bun has so much flavor and is toasted perfectly. I personally don't eat pork but the guests at my table raved about the pork belly being so delicious. The toasted legumes were a yummy snack. I tried the Gose draft beer and I loved it, slightly tart with a sweet finish in my opinion. The staff was so friendly and kind. The chef was extremely knowledgeable about his craft and is very welcoming and happy to share how he brought his vision to life. It was a 10/10 experience. read more
This was a really cool event! The food and drink were awesome. Honestly, maybe the best brat I've had in years. Dessert was absolutely fire. But, honestly, the place itself was cool. I loved going on the brewery tour. The staff was so kind and knowledgeable. This is a spot I'll definitely return to. read more
This place is a hidden gem in Brooklyn. When you walk into this brewery - restaurant , you suddenly step into a completely different world. I thought I was somewhere in Europe. Sophisticated decor, cozy and inviting interior, great vibe, friendly staff. The beer was amazing, superior quality European style selection, so was the food. The event included a guided tour and detailed description of the beer making process. Very educational. Definitely will be back with friends to spend quality time and try more items on their menu. read more
Amazing Yelp experience at this lovely brewery located in Bushwick! Despite being a rainy evening, I did enjoy my experience at this gorgeous bar and brewery and the food and beers were delectable! I ordered the falafel hot dog and also tried the malted chocolate mousse. The hot dog was a very interesting rendition on a falafel sandwich and much easier and less messy to eat which was so smart! The mousse melts in your mouth. As for beer I enjoyed sipping on the Haus IPA and Kolsch. I love German beers and love beer generally speaking and this brewery has plenty of options for anyone trying for the first time or avid beer enthusiasts like myself, I also love the interior and how you can see their own in house brews and the magic that goes behind the scenes to make your favorite beers. I loved this location and how large it is, ideal for a big group or a party. Can't wait to return and thank you Yelp for hosting me and pulling together such a lovely event! read more
I will be back. I've not stopped talking about this place, sharing the food, and turns out I got married across the street! Luckily, missed a huge thunderstorm and a great way to quench thirst with the best Czech and German style lagers in the city. The whole evening was curated so well! Bravo Morlene! Got to see some friends I haven't seen in years and met a few new ones. The Gose I had was amazing. Perfect for the humidity with its salty and sour notes. The passed app was a hash brown with crème fraiche and salmon roe - WOW! Had to get a flight! The owner did bring up on the tour that he was a chef and so it's food paired with beer. After the very interesting brewery tour, (definitely go on it), I had my beast with mustard and kraut. Wow. I had to get the Czech style lager. Everything house made and quite an exquisite experience with the beer pairing. I also ordered the pork belly - WOW. Coming back for THAT. I also loved the dessert was a divine not too sweet chocolate mousse. The whole night was incredible and the staff were all incredible. read more
Upon arrival and entry through a clean, minimalist hall you enter into the actual brewery space. Clean fresh lines and welcoming comfort in abundance. I was seated in the upstairs loft area, over looking the bar with an impressive view. The staff was very welcoming and the food was perhaps THE best I have had at a brewery, with the kartoffelpuffer being my favorite, as it was topped with crème fraiche and salmon roe, slight dill. While I was aiming for a falafel dog, after hearing that the brats were made in house, I had no choice but to try! No disappointment, the brioche bun was toasted in butter... and everything went together Perfectly. Brats can be salty or tough, this was neither..surprisingly curated to perfection. As the owner explained he used to be a chef I saw the vision in the menu, and understood the quality and care with the menu. Touring the brewery was also an incentive for me to try additional selections as the back area was ultra clean and after hearing how finicky brewing a lager could be.. I had to try my first lager.... Again no disappointment as I may have found my new fave on tap. Overall I highly recommend .... Noting street parking may be a little rough before 7pm... read more
