The idea was simple from the start. Let’s open a small brewery and try to do it ourselves in Albany, NY.

At Plan Bee Farm Brewery our mission is to brew 100% New York State beer. We source all our ingredients from the state of New York with many grown on site. Our beers go from ground to glass within measurable feet of their origins. Our goal is to work with local businesses to produce a delicious product for the community we serve. At Plan Bee Farm Brewery, our beers are created by the limitation of local resources. From the yeast that grows on our fruit, to the grain & hops in our fields, if it isn’t in our community it doesn’t enter our beer.Today, brewers talk about ‘local’ craft beer while sourcing ingredients from around the world. At Plan Bee Farm Brewery, we define ‘local’ as that which grows in New York State, if not our backyard. Over the course of the next few years we will work tirelessly to reduce the radius of our sourced ingredients. The goal is to be able to say, “I planted & processed everything in this beer personally.”

Staten Island, New York, United States
Kills Boro Brewing Company is an independent craft brewery rooted in Staten Island, New York. Since 2017, we’ve been crafting beers that honor the borough’s deep brewing history while pushing forward with creative expression, technical precision, and a commitment to quality. Our name pays tribute to the “kills”—the tidal waterways named by Dutch settlers—that once supported a thriving brewing scene led by German immigrants nearly two centuries ago. That legacy lives on in our lager program, which has become a defining part of our identity. Through double decoctions, extended lagering, and the use of heritage ingredients, we aim to create clean, expressive beers that bridge tradition and modern craft. In addition to lagers, our portfolio spans hazy IPAs, mixed fermentation sours, bold stouts, and seasonal experiments—each brewed with intent, curiosity, and care. In 2025, we opened our taproom and restaurant at 814 Richmond Terrace: a space designed to bring our beers to life, pairing them with an elevated food menu and a full beverage program. Set against the backdrop of Staten Island’s North Shore waterfront, our taproom is a place to gather, taste, and experience everything Kills Boro has grown to represent. Kills Boro is more than a brewery—it’s a community, a movement, and a reflection of the borough we call home. We’re proud to be part of New York City’s dynamic beer scene and even prouder to help put Staten Island on the map, one pint at a time.
