Hello Joan, our building was never home to the Greenpoint Sugar Plant. It started as a part of Hecla Iron Works, later saw use as a textile mill, matzoh factory, and storage, and sat unused for a time before we filled it with our offices, brewhouses, and Tasting Room. Come stop by some time-- our store staff knows a good amount about the history of the neighborhood.
It was said to be an old matzo factory according to wiki
I went on the tour in September and they may have said but I can't be certain. Have you tried their website or emailing them?
