Shantel "Crema" Mercardo is a Bronx-born artist who's lived in East New York and currently resides in Queens. Going to public school in The Bronx helped shaped Shantel into the creative individual she is today. Drawing as always been a love for Shantel, so much so that as a child she would draw whatever came to mind underneath the dining table of her families home when paper wasn't available. As time when on, using the computer to create gradients from bitmap images to change her eye colors or create something new entirely became second nature. Being a child of the early internet Shantel got her early design prowess from websites like Neopets & MySpace. At MySpace's peak Crema was creating custom layouts and coding for bulletins. In the years since High School Shantel has stuck with her love for graphic design and drawing, thanks to programs like Photoshop and ProCreate she can blend the best of both worlds and create seamless works that speak not only to herself but her growing community of supporters and like-minded creatives.
The Community collaborator for La Comunidad's release is Rise Radio. "I thought to myself why don’t I choose a place where I can see that I’m actually making a difference and that’s why I chose Rise Radio. One of the reasons I chose Rise Radio was due to it saving my life during the pandemic. When the pandemic first started I was planning my birthday and then right on the 15 of march is when almost everything got closed down and then people started streaming. The reason I even found out about Rise Radio was because of DJ schoolboy. Schoolboy used to stream and then always post how to go watch a show on twitch or to follow Rise and then I’d see Rise also post DJs on twitch like Yoo Q, Go In, Bembona, Jfuse, and SailorGoon."
MRS STOUT FIRE
The Stout That'll make you shout!
MRS Stout Fire is a 5.5% ABV 19 IBU Dry Irish Stout with soft carbonation and a deep toasty taste similar to cold brew coffee or dark chocolate cacao. Roasted Barley and Caramel malt lend dry, intensely bitter nuances of chocolate and coffee with subtle candy-like sweetness. Willamette Hops contribute peppery and herbaceous spice notes with fruity and floral characteristics.
Our latest Y-Series collaborator MRS is a Bronx-bred artist that's filled with pride that stems from a young age. As a kid MRS' mother would take her and her siblings to various Bronx locations where she would come into contact with her first glimpses of art; Graffiti. Commuting via buses and trains all over the city, MRS was very intrigued by the various colors and styles that would zoom by her and one day came across a piece that resonated with her strongly. Not truly making the connection that these were everyday people going out of their way to write a name, a message; something that would forever remain where it was written. The piece in question was a very high up graffiti tag of the name "Jessica". MRS had no clue how and why but it sat with her so much that it inspired her to do the same and become more immersed in the medium of graffiti. The fact that a female could infiltrate the ranks of a male-dominated craft and break ground left MRS to not only think but act and act accordingly she did.
The Community collaborator for MRS Stout Fire's release is The Bronx River Art Center. I have had the honor of having some work in a group show and I have led 1 session printmaking workshop for kids. What I really admire about BRAC is its commitment to providing art opportunities to children and teens of The Bronx. Their program has artists come in to teach different lessons and I think it’s really important for kids to not only have access to art and creative outlets but to be introduced to the people in their community who are making art. Art exists outside of the big museums downtown and I appreciate how they make art accessible to the youth.
Proceeds received from the release of this beer will sponsor various creative endeavors for children in the Bronx.

Three kings
Heavy Is The Head That Wears The Crown, or drinks it!
A trifecta for the tastebuds consisting of a triple malt blend, including Pilsen Malt for a crisp and delicate base flavor, Carapils Copper Malt for color, caramel malt flavor, improved mouthfeel, and head-retention and Abbey Malt for biscuit and honey flavor nuances fit for royalty!

The name Three Kings is a reference to the number of members in Fernando's agency "The Fox and King" (TFAK), a Bronx-based music and artist development agency well as the three inspirational genres of music that heavily influence Three Kings which are Rock, Hip-Hop, and Reggaeton.
Super Eight
A West Coast IPA That's Ready for It's Close Up
We’ve used the traditional West Coast hops Centennial and Chinook for big pine notes and hits of citrus. A dry hop of Altus adds spice to the beer's aroma. Caramel malts lend a hint of malty sweetness up front, some subtle spiciness from Rye malt, and then a little bit of Chocolate Malt to create a smooth finish.
The name Super Eight is a nod to the beer’s 8% ABV, but it’s also a reference to the film format Super Eight, representing our September Y-Series artist; Bronx filmmaker and director, Elyssa Aquino.
Partially inspired by the "raw" nature of Super Eight film, Elyssa set out to create a scrapbook style image that incorporated imagery connected to her first film, Secadora, an Afro-Dominican love story.
El Condado de la salsa
This beer may cause dancing
For the last two years, we’ve collaborated with The Salsa Project on a beer called El Condado de la Salsa. This year, we’ve changed up the recipe making it a hazy IPA, but stuck to the goal of using beer to support The Salsa Project’s mission to keep the culture of Salsa alive in the Bronx.
At first whiff you’ll get bright citrus and a burst of passionfruit, mellowed out by a creamy coconut finish. Citrus-forward hops enhance the fruit flavors and keep the bitterness low, creating an easy-drinking, get-on-up-and-dance kind of warm weather refresher.
With this release, The Salsa Project has also elected to benefit The Mercado Project. Named after salsa legend Ralph Mercado, The Mercado Project raises awareness of Ralph’s legacy and highlights cultural literacies from Afro-Latinx experiences.
Friends Who Fight
In this corner...
Our take on a classic Hefeweizen, we leaned into the natural big banana flavor by adding cherry puree and chocolate malt to this brew to give it a banana split inspired flavor.
On the label, professional independent wrestling photographer Sofie Vasquez created a collage of some of her favorite wrestling portraits and candids from over the years and used a unique process called Cyanotype to make the collage stand out.
Bronx-based The Point Community Development Corporation helped Sofie to launch her professional career and as a way of thanking them, she has chosen them as the community beneficiary for this release.
Habibx
A sweet & smoky brew for pride 2022!
This refreshing kolsch is slightly sweet upfront and backed by a light, smoky finish from mesquite smoked malt. A balance of slight fruit and complimentary spicy, herbal Sterling and Crystal hops keep this ale crisp.
Multi-medium artist Lafi Melo helped to create Habibx in all its forms - from assisting with the recipe, to creating the can art and the name. Habibx stems from "habibi" an Arabic term of endearment meaning, "my love" with an X added at the end to simultaneously represent both gender neutrality and the Bronx.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of Habibx will be donated to the Callen-Lorde Health Center in support of their mission to provide comprehensive health care to NYC's LGBTQ+ community.
YERRRR!!
Can I get a YERRRR?!

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of C.R.E.A.M. will benefit Steve's non-profit, Support Creativity in their mission to "help creative students design a better life."
GEMS Like US
For Women Everywhere
An easy-drinking, approachable Saison, GEMS Like Us is as unique as the women that it celebrates during this Women's History Month. Dry, but also tart and slightly spicy we used pink peppercorns and Sterling hops to add zesty and floral highlights.

Concrete Bloom
A Winter Refresh
Huell Melon and Callista hops provide a fruit-forward grapefruit and honeydew backbone for hundreds of pounds of raspberry puree. With a touch of honey to enhance sweetness and enhance the fruit flavor, this hazy IPA finishes with a fresh kick of mint.
Painter and Bronx native, Jeffrey Melo created a piece showing "something beautiful growing out of the concrete" for this can art - inspired by the New York nickname "concrete jungle."
Jeffrey chose to support Brotherhood Sister Sol (BroSis) with this release. A Harlem based social justice organization, BroSis helps young people in New York develop a critical understanding of their history, identity and role in society through education, support, and guidance.
Blacktop
Rich & Roasty
Conditioned on Grady's Cold Brew and cacao nibs, this wintertime sipper is decadent and rich, but super smooth. With a hint of lactose for added creaminess, the coffee and chocolate notes will only open up more as the beer sits in your glass.
40 year veteran graffiti writer and designer of the original Blacktop label, CES agreed to reimagine the label for the Y-Series - using a recently finished piece that he feels truly defines graffiti culture.
But CES isn’t just passionate about his art, he’s also a big animal lover - especially when it comes to his 14 year old Pomeranian, Mooshi. Mooshi played a big role in CES’ decision to support the Humane Society of Westchester through Blacktop sales.
Year Gone Hazy
Manifest & Apply pressure
For Year Gone Hazy 2021, we asked fans to share their goals for 2022 with us – what are they manifesting for the coming year? Again with the help of Bronx Native and BX Writers, we’ve compiled these manifestations, printing them on the label, in the hope that by writing them down and putting them out into the universe, everyone will be empowered to apply pressure to their goals.
This year’s version of Year Gone Hazy holds to the same double dry hopped, double IPA recipe as last year, but with a few hop updates to highlight stone fruit and tropical flavors.
Jingle Jangle
Holiday spice and everything nice
We’ve cut chunks of Amburana Wood, soaked them in rum and steeped them in the brew during conditioning, bringing flavors of vanilla and cinnamon without actually adding any spices.
Copper Carapils and Midnight Wheat malts lend themselves to a slightly sweet, roasted flavor. The combination of spice-forward Tettnanger and Sterling hops also bring forward the natural spiciness of the Amburana.
With festive holiday ornaments courtesy of The Bronxer dancing on the outside of the can – Jingle Jangle will have you feeling that holiday spirit in no time!
6 Gose Downtown
Celebrating our upcoming East Village location
We’ve riffed on our 6 Gose to Cypress from last spring – a Gose spiced with chili-lime salt and sweetened with mango and lime – to release 6 Gose Downtown, a similarly sweet and spiced Gose with a smoky twist.
A base of pilsen and wheat malts allow pineapple puree and coriander additions to shine, while Caliente, Galena, and Jarrylo hops bring in tropical fruit, berries and big citrus. Smoked salt added during the boil gives 6 Goes Downtown a smoky finish. Tart, sweet, smoky, and salty all find a balance in this brew.
Tattooed Pumpkin
And Barrel Aged Tattooed Pumpkin
We’ve amped up last year’s recipe with sweet chocolate and caramel malts that enhance the big spice flavors of added Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Ginger, Clove, Allspice, and Vanilla.
Earthy, pine-y, and slightly fruity hops balance this big IPA, while huge additions of pumpkin puree keep the bitterness low.
To created Barrel Aged Tattooed Pumpkin, we took a special batch of Tattooed Pumpkin and rested it in New York Distilling Company Rye Barrels for a few months, intensifying the spice notes and giving the beer a mellow oakiness.
Heavy Hitter
A New kind of bronx bomber
Brewed with Kveik Hornindal yeast and a bouquet of hops that lend huge fruit notes, this 10% crusher bursts with flavors of mango, pineapple, citrus and berries with dank pine and citrus aromas.

Das Bronx
As Fall approaches, so does Oktoberfest
Biscuit-y, toasty, smooth, and savory - our Fall seasonal, Das Bronx is made using traditional German malt and hops to keep it as close to the classic Oktoberfest styles as possible.
A little upfront sweetness is mellowed out by some roasted malt flavor, and finished clean with a crisp hop edge.

el condado de la salsa
Preserving culture through beer
This year we brewed El Condado as a traditional light lager but with the same fruit-forward flavor as last year. You’ll get the passion fruit and lime right up front - boosted by the citrus-y and tropical experimental hop 10416 - which then mellows into a coconut water vibe. As you sip, you’ll get aromas of toasted coconut.

Hop-A-Shot

Our summertime staple, City Island, is well known for its laid-back, tropical vibes. But now, for a limited summer 2021 run, we’ve added a heavy hit of mango puree to add even more juicy sweetness.
A hazy, refreshing, and slightly tart Northeast IPA punctuated by a dry, pine-y flavor from the mango. Born in the Spring. Raised in the Summer. Perfect for every season. And now even more tropical.
Rise & Grind
A new kind of "cold brew"
A crispy Kolsch with some residual sweetness and a hint of smoked malt to compliment a coffee kick from a custom whole bean blend created by our neighbors at Mottley Kitchen.
After 3+ years of bringing healthy and vegan cafe options to Mott Haven, we've partnered with Mottley Kitchen on Rise & Grind to celebrate the start of their in-house coffee roasting program.
Side Hustle
Our margarita-inspired collab with Ilegal Mezcal.
We’ve teamed up with Ilegal Mezcal to create a hard seltzer with grapefruit, lime, and flavored with Ilegal Mezcal oak staves.
Bravo, Cascade, Zythos, and UK Pioneer hops alongside big hits of grapefruit and lime puree also help to bring forward the dry citrus-y flavors.
Strawberries & Dreams
Classic summer flavor for a city about to bloom.
Fresh strawberry flavor floats in on creamy clouds thanks to more than 400 lbs of strawberry puree. With juicy fruit and melon notes from the hops creating a dry finish and the flavor of a strawberry that's just a little underripe.
One of our favorite Up & Comer artists Sofeia Eddy (of World Gone Rosé) has returned to create the dreamy can art and captured all the whimsy and potential that this summer holds.
QUE FUEGO
sweet. spicy. with surprises in store.
For Que Fuego: El Santo Ardiente, we’ve remixed the original Que Fuego with four peppers – Arbol, Pequin, Chipotle Morita, and the famous Carolina Reaper courtesy of Señor Lechuga – ground them up in-house, and thrown them into the brew.
The heat’s balanced out by a healthy dose of blood orange, along with fruity and tropical Calypso hops. Brewed in the style of a traditional saison, this hot take will also provide the classic notes of clove and banana to round out the flavor.
Backyard Freestyle
A Backyard Classic. Remixed.
Backyard Freestyle opens with a rye whiskey vibe, before giving way to a big wave of stone fruit. Refreshing and crushable, we added 250 lbs of peach puree during fermentation to give this a full body, complimented by the tart rye malt.
To celebrate a decade of brewing in the Bronx we brought Backyard Freestyle out of the vault with a little remix from Bronx hip hop legend, Denzil Porter -- and Denzil's longtime collaborator Chris ‘Creasy’ Reg.
Bollywood in the Bronx
Mango Lassi with a Hop Kick
Smooth waves of sweet mango finish dry, elevated by raw honey, cardamom, and ginger in this hoppy take on the traditional Mango Lassi.
Bronx community outreach super star Bharati Kemraj lent her talents as a henna artist to the can.
And with the assist from Bharati, we've also linked up with local nonprofit Sapna NYC. A portion of the proceeds from Bollywood in the Bronx will go towards Sapna and their mission of transforming the lives of South Asian immigrant women through health education.
Curveball
Hazy IPA with a body like a milkshake
Hop-forward fruit flavors combined with lactose make this hazy IPA smell like an orange creamsicle, but taste like a Sunday afternoon at Yankee Stadium.
Can art by Sonsira Espinal ties Curveball to its sister from last season, Juiced Ball.
Black Moon Rising
Tall, Dark, and Mysterious.
Pouring dark as a starry night, this take on the classic German Schwarzbier is surprisingly light on the palate with sour cherries and bitter orange adding tang to this smooth black lager.
Made in collab with Bronx astrologer Mecca Woods, we're hosting an exclusive Zoom with Mecca to talk about what's in the stars at this moment!
Yerrrr
Can I get a YERRRR?!
Crisp, clean IPA brewed with brown rice flakes and citrus forward hops balanced out with a hint of black pepper.
YERRRR also officially kicks off our new Bronx Brewery - Beer Kulture Production internship. A new way of looking at inclusivity and opportunity within our industry - with a portion of proceeds from YERRRR funding the first intern.
Secret Crush
A little sweet. A Little Spicy. A whole lotta love.
Just in time to celebrate the national day of love comes a Belgian Pale Ale to warm your heart. Pouring with just a hint of red, Secret Crush starts with a malty wave of sweetness, followed by a hit of smooth vanilla and balanced out by a gingery kick of cardamom. Like a boozy chai latte!
The Bronx’s own Val Daughtrey designed the label, with a secret waiting for you. Scan the label with your Instagram camera to bring it to life.
Never Stand Still
Big. Bold. Kissed by Rye and more than meets the eye.
Just like the label, with a snapshot self-portrait from rising NYC superstar Devon Rodriguez, this IPA captures a moment in time - a moment that's in love with BIG IPAs.
Complex, vibrant, and rich, this IPA lives up to it's "imperial" label, with an added kick from the rye.
Side Hustle
Hard Seltzer with Pomegranate & Spruce Tips
Heading into our 10th anniversary we wanted to do something a little different and try something we'd never done before: a brand new take on a craft seltzer.
Soft, Pilsner-like bubbles in tandem with subtle, natural flavoring create a sweet, yet tart hard seltzer that you'll only find here - from BXB Go - or in our Backyard.
Year Gone Hazy
A sendoff to 2020. With a Label design by you.
Wrapped in "love notes" to 2020 submitted by you - this DDH IPA slams the door on the year that was. Super juicy and slightly sweet Year Gone Hazy features huge notes of tropical fruit and melon in a deep shade of hazy gold.
In tandem with our friends Bronx Native & BX Writers, we're also publishing a commemorative book compiling the best "love notes."
Together With
Cranberry. Not just for dessert anymore.
A classic Bock gets a big blast of cranberry and orange peel, making for the perfect holiday paring - complete with a Thanksgiving Dinner To-Go drive for our South BX Community.
Tattooed Pumpkin
Hazy pumpkin ipa - like a psl but with face tats
We linked up & inked up with Bronx Tattoo Legends Tuff City to help design the label for this fusion of a hazy IPA & a classic pumpkin ale.
Made with pumpkin & seasonal spices, you'll get this one in waves.
The fall spice hits first, with big notes of cinnamon, nutmeg & allspice. The hops take over from there, bringing a little warmth & pine notes, before giving way to a soft & subtle vanilla-spice on the finish.
Urban eden
our beer-cider fall hybrid
Made with apple cider and clover honey, our brand-new apple-honey Saison starts sweet, but finishes dry - making it perfect for fall.
French-Saison yeast provides familiar banana and clove notes creating a rich flavor that is smooth and light on the palate.
On the label? A new piece of art from local Bronx floral artist & designer, 6 Line Florals.
About Christian '6 Line' Montero
Born and raised on Cypress Ave in Mott Haven, Christian '6 Line' Montero became fascinated by plants because of his grandmother, who connected to him by teaching him how to care for plant life.
Named '6Line' because he was raised right in front of the 6 Train, Montero's been connected to the 6 his whole life. It taught him how to navigate the city, and was where he slept when he became homeless.
At the age of 23, he started volunteering at a community garden to help his depression, and found he was a natural at growing food. That process led him to grow flowers, where he found he had a passion for putting bouquets together.
Now, the founder of the Concrete Jungle BX has become a rising star in the floral world, and a major advocate for public gardens in The Bronx.
More on the Concrete Jungle
1) To build an urban farm in the Bronx that provides access to locally grown organic food.
2) Serves as an educational space
3) Pollination ground and refugee for the endangered honey bees and monarch butterflies
4) To produce and provide local food for local businesses, food banks, and restaurants.
5) Host workshops and educational classes for home gardening.
6) Host Educational and cultural events
7) A garden hub for art, education, and a safe place.

JUICED BALL
Tropical vibes.
Chance of clouds.
This pearl-white hazy IPA is stuffed full of late-addition hops, for a little extra punch and a juicy taste that explodes right off the bat.

el condado de la salsa
lime, coconut & passionfruit come together to celebrate the story of salsa in the bronx
Made in tandem with The Salsa Project, El Condado de la Salsa traces the path that salsa music took through the Bronx — where a collision of music and culture created a new art form as vibrant as the borough that birthed it. Drawing from ingredients of African, Cuban & Puerto Rican descent, every sip dances with a relaxing, tropical, summertime vibe.
About The Salsa Project
"The Salsa Project" is a movement rooted in getting more young people involved in Salsa music. The goal of this project is to protect, preserve, and ensure that Salsa does not die amongst the younger generations to come. "The Salsa Project" takes on a multi-disciplinary approach, which covers a docu-series, community engagement, events, and merchandise. The culmination of these four elements will help create a platform for all to engage, learn, and partake in our mission to keep the culture alive.
We created a playlist with over 36 hours of music, which pays tribute to the origins of Salsa in New York and its particular sound up until the late 1990s. When Cubans and Puerto Ricans migrated to the South Bronx and El Barrio they brought along with them their unique styles of music, rhythm and clave. A mixture of Afro-Cuban rhythms, cha cha, mambo, boogaloo, pachanga and charanga could be heard throughout New York emanating from fire escapes and passing cars and in places such as El Hippo Campo, Wild Palms, The Corso, Hunts Point Palace and the infamous Palladium.
The influences of these several genres of music would become the antecedent of Salsa. From Aresenio Rodriguez who moved to the Bronx from Cuba during the 1950's, to charanga bands such as Tipica 73', to the creation of Fania Records, to El Barrio's own Marc Anthony, this playlist will take you on a tour of the history of the Salsa experience in New York.
This playlist was curated by The Salsa Project's Historian, Nicole Espinosa. Nicole is a Puerto Rican and Cuban Bronx based Salsa enthusiast. She holds a BA in Social Sciences with a concentration in Media Studies from New York University.

The Up and Comers Series allows us to test out small-batch, limited-release brews every month to help us find our next big hit, while also helping to provide a platform for rising-star artists in The Bronx and NYC. Starting with custom, one-of-a-kind labels for Up and Comer beers, the Series is expanding to include art of all types, across all facets of our Brewery.
