Chris Maestro spent twenty years as an educator until he decided to follow his passion and open up one of the most iconic bars in New York City, the Hip-Hop themed craft beer bar, Bierwax. Inspired by his visits to jazz and Hip-Hop bars in Amsterdam and Tokyo, Chris decided to create his own vision of this format in Brooklyn, NYC. Frequented by craft beer lovers, Hip-Hop aficionados and the occasional famous DJ or MC, Bierwax is also one of the few BIPOC-owned pubs in the city. Now with the Covid-19 pandemic regulations in effect, Bierwax continues to break new ground in the craft beer scene, while also giving Hip-Hop heads and vinyl lovers a place to call home.

Bierwax is located at 556 Vanderbilt Avenue in Brooklyn, NYC.
