Put on your walking shoes and get thirsty for history in anticipation of the next installment of the Bushwick Brewery Tour on October 22. Tour guide Chris Heuberger will show you the hidden past of the giant, old buildings dotting Bushwick and East Williamsburg.

Stops on the tour include the Claus-Lipsius Brewing Company at 493 Bushwick Ave. and William Ulmer Brewery at 81 Beaver St. Those two breweries represent only a small fraction of beer-making activity in Bushwick at the height of the Industrial Revolution.

Heuberger recalls getting unexpected access with his tour to the private home of the person who lives in the old William Ulmer office. He says, “There was an amazing decorative motif painted on the ceiling [of the dining room] incorporating hops and the whole mood of the house evoked such a sense of old money and grandeur from the late 19th century, when this brewer was one of the most powerful men in the neighborhood.”
