Company description

TALEA’s brewery and taproom in Williamsburg, Brooklyn opened in March 2021. We are NYC’s only female-founded production brewery. TALEA's mission is to expand the craft beer market by creating easy-to-love beers “perhaps to replace that glass of rosé” (Florence Fabricant, The New York Times).
