Transmitter Brewing

Always well received.

Meticulously crafted beers and a floor of pinball in the Navy Yard.

We brew Belgian-inspired beers, crisp clean lagers and modern takes on classic styles at Building 77, pour them in our taproom and beer garden, and keep a floor of pinball machines ready to play.

A pinball playfield printed like a Transmitter can label, with pop bumpers marked with the beer series letters.
