"Talea is one of New York’s only women-owned breweries. The company’s mission: to win back beer lovers who were scared off by bitter IPAs — and the bros who drink them. The brewery specializes in easy-to-drink beers with lower alcohol content: There are six sours on the menu, mixed with ingredients like watermelon and raspberry, and IPAs whose tasting notes are “mango smoothie” and “pink Smarties.” Talea also has a taproom in Cobble Hill. Locations are slated for Bryant Park and the West Village as well." - Luke Fortney, Eater Staff
