Brooklyn was the brewing capital of 19th-century America — Bushwick alone hosted more than a dozen breweries, most founded by German immigrants whose names (Schaefer, Rheingold, Schlitz, Pabst) defined American beer for a century. Williamsburg and Bedford-Stuyvesant supported substantial German populations alongside it. Today's German business presence in Brooklyn is more eclectic — concentrated in design, hospitality, food and beverage, and a wave of German creatives and tech founders drawn by the borough's cultural gravity.
