Showcasing New York ingredients to make truly regional beer, Strong Rope brews and serves hand-crafted ales & lagers at our Brooklyn locations (in Red Hook & Gowanus) and seasonally in the Adirondacks. Strong Rope Brewery is owned and operated by husband and wife team, Jason Sahler and Christina Quintero.

As a New York state farm brewery, our approach is to examine what truly regional beer is. We look to explore the capabilities of our regional malt and hops while working directly with our farming partners and the land. We strive to create beers with intention and care and give our ales and lagers a true sense of place. As a family-run business, we support other local producers by serving New York state wine, cider, and spirits.

*Under 21 policy:

Please note that children must be accompanied by an adult at all times as working breweries can present many dangers to unsupervised little ones! Absolutely no running is allowed on Strong Rope Brewery property. Be sure to check the game shelf for lots of options to entertain.

Our Guarantee

These tiny trees are so hardy we guarantee you can keep yours alive, or we’ll replace it.

Workshop FAQs

No. Our events are ticketed per person, not per tree, so everyone attending must have a ticket. This is because space is limited in our venues and we need to be able to sell tickets for every seat we have available. If someone takes a seat in our space without having purchased a ticket, that means someone who purchased a ticket may not have a seat. Thank you for understanding.

Maybe! We want everyone of all ages to get to enjoy the fun of tiny trees. Luckily most of our venues are family friendly and allow those that are underage to enter with a parent/guardian. Please see the "UNDER 21 POLICY" listed above or contact the venue directly.

We had an amazing time and now my husband is bonsai obsessed! He's been researching and watching videos, and every walk he is looking out for more trees that would be good to bonsai. This was the perfect introduction to a new hobby! Y'all were so knowledgeable, funny, and inspiring. We hope to make part 2 in 9 months or so. Thank you!

I had a great time at the most recent Bonsai Bar event. The class was fun and informative. The instructors were very hands-on and you could tell they truly enjoyed what they were doing. If you are interested in getting into bonsai this was a great place to start. I could not have been happier with the entire experience.
