The New York Brewery was a simulated location created and used by Abstergo Industries' entertainment branch in 2012, in order to influence the general public, as part of the console stage of the Animus technology. At the center of this brewery, one out of the many breweries located in New York City, lay its courtyard, a wide open space with various goods and barrels of beer stacked on top of one another. Other points of interests included the tavern, which was adjoined by some stables, the boiling room, the fermentation room and a vast space used for storage.
