Empire Brewing Company
Empire Brewing Company is a Syracuse, NY-based microbrewery and restaurant with contract brewing operations at Greenpoint Beer Works in Brooklyn, NY[1], which manufactures four of Empire's brands for regional distribution[2]. It was founded by its owner, David Katleski, in 1994[3]. The company is renown for its sustainable environmental practices[4] and was featured on an episode of Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives in 2013[5]. Empire's beers have won seven medals at the Great American Beer Festival and three World Beer Cups[6].
In 2013, Katleski was awarded the F.X. Matt Defender of the Industry Award at the Craft Brewers Conference for his work supporting the interests of New York's craft brewers[7].
Empire is presently constructing a new brewing and packaging facility in Cazenovia, NY[8]. The farm brewery will grow ingredients for use in the brewing process[9].
