After 13 years of serving the NYC home brewing community and beyond, we've made the difficult decision to close Bitter & Esters. It has been an incredible ride, but the business is simply no longer sustainable in the way it once was. Our final day for sales will be Sunday, October 13th.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who has supported us on this incredible journey. We’d like to give a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has graced our little shop on Washington Avenue over the past 13 years. To our employees, the homebrew community, the clubs, the breweries and craft beer community, Bobby's liver, our landlords, our vendors and local businesses - thank you. Most importantly, we want to thank our amazing customers - your support has meant the world to us and we couldn’t have succeeded as a small business without you.

We are immensely proud of what we've accomplished together and will cherish the memories we've made. We'll keep you updated as we move forward.

John & Douglas
