Empire Brewing Company is a Syracuse, New York-based microbrewery and restaurant with contract brewing operations at Greenpoint Beer Works in Brooklyn, New York,[1] which manufactures four of Empire's brands for regional distribution.[2] It was founded by owner, David Katleski, in 1994.[3] The company is known for their craft brews and their locally sourced, seasonal food menus.[4] In 2013, Empire Brewing Company was featured on an episode of Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives.[5] Empire's beers have won nine medals at the Great American Beer Festival and two 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 constructing a new brewing and packaging facility in Cazenovia, New York.[8] The farm brewery will grow ingredients for use in the brewing process.[9]
