Coney Island Brewery was founded in 2007, originally located inside Coney Island USA’s “Freakatorium” and recognized as the “smallest brewery in the world.” After Hurricane Sandy destroyed the brewery in 2012, a new facility was established at 1904 Surf Avenue in 2015, just a short distance from the original site. Although the taproom closed in November 2023, Coney Island beers are still available for enjoyment at bars, restaurants, and stores throughout New York.
