Joseph Fallert Brewery complex

The Joseph Fallert Brewery complex is a historic industrial brewery site located on Meserole Street at the corner of Lorimer Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York City. Built in the late 1800s, the red-brick complex represents one of the surviving remnants of Brooklyn's once-extensive brewing industry.[1][2][3]

History

Designed by architect Frederick Wunder, some buildings in the Joseph Fallert Brewery complex possess characteristics of American round arch style architecture.[4] The office building of the Fallert brewery was designed in a Romanesque Revival style.[4] By 1900, the Joseph Fallert Brewery complex produced over 50,000 barrels a year.[5]

Proposed demolition

In late 2025, Meserole Lorimer Realty LLC paid over $19 million for the three lots that cover the brewery property and filed applications in December to demolish the industrial complex.[1]
