Malt & Mold

Can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed the visit. First off, we started with really good free beer samples from an Oregon brewer they brought in, then moved into the back where we had various drafts from their very good draft list. Finally we got a cheese plate, going with the «Monger’s choice», where she identified what we liked and picked really good cheeses for us. Great beer, great cheese, and super nice with no pretentiousness, we’ll definitely be going back.

Excellent place. Super-​chill and laid back, a great selection of beers, some of which you really won’t find anywhere else. They’ll also make a sandwich-​of-​the-​day to order which is consistently delicious.
Beer, cheese, free tastings on Fridays, what’s not to love?

The fresh sandwich sign got my attention. Lovely beer selection with sandwiches, spreads & a great host to go with it. Enjoyed hanging here for a few hours!

Dropped in to find their freezer stocked with just two pints of the same flavor of Tipsy Scoop for $ 11 (FWIW they didn’t check ID… they claimed they usually have more and expected a shipment within the week, but I won’t be back to check because the one I bought was freezer-​burned almost beyond being edible after a serious thaw on a 90-​degree day, which is impressive given what alcohol should do to ice crystals).
Their 2^nd location has quite an odd address format here.

Craft beer and cheese shop?! What more could you want? This small shop packs lots of cool stuff. I’m a lover of beer and cheese so I was pumped to find this. I tried the Ballast Point Habanero Sculpin IPA in Boston at Tip Tap Room in Beacon hill and loved it. I discovered Malt and Mold while searching online for places to purchase that beer in Manhattan. Unfortunately when I swung by the store they said that there was an issue with the distributor so they didn’t have it in stock yet. The woman I spoke with was really nice and said she would update their online beer menu once it came in. I left the city for a week and called the store when I returned. Unfortunately I learned they were all sold out and hoping to get more in. This review will totally move up to 5 stars once I’m able to get my hands on that Ballast Point Habanero Sculpin IPA!
Also, they do free beer tastings on Fridays (I think from 4−8PM). Very cool!
Update– they got the Ballast Point Habanero Sculpin IPA in stock. Ahhh it’s so good. Thank you Malt & Mold!

Malt & Mold became one of my favorite stores in Gramercy. I frequent this place for well-​baked breads, daily made sandwiches for a quick lunch, and a wide beer selection rotating daily. The staff is welcoming and very friendly. There is also a pretty decent cheese selection which you can sample with beer. Some products are a bit overpriced, though for beer and bread, I’d prefer them to any other store in the location in a heartbeat.

Kudos for bringing some good energy to the Gramercy-​ish area. Both Kevin & Caitlin are brimming with knowledge, insight, and great taste — along with provisions that are first-​rate! Can’t wait for my next growler. And Caitlin, enjoy Cheese Camp!

So excited for this new addition to the neighborhood. Amazing cheese and bread selection. Super knowledgeable staff. Stop here before hosting any dinner party!

I cannot say enough about Kevin, Caitlin, and the team at Malt and Mold. We were lucky enough to book an after-​hours private party for my husband’s birthday and had an incredible evening from start to finish. From my very first phone call Kevin was friendly, helpful, and professional. He responded consistently to my (many) emails and everything was top notch the day of the party.
We had a smaller group than originally planned and Kevin was kind enough to allow us to bring home the remaining DELICIOUS snacks that were leftover. We will be eating incredible cheeses, breads, meats, and veggies all week.
The beer was excellent and I am not typically a big drinker but I certainly made the most of last night. Everyone was attentive, offering refills, samples, and also socializing and being friendly. We even ran a little over our time and they were so easygoing about it; we never felt rushed.
Additionally, we had a cake delivered for the party and Kevin kept it safe in the cooler, bringing it out at the perfect time for rousing round of «Happy Birthday.»
Do yourself a favor and book an after-​hours party. It’s an amazing deal and a night you won’t forget!
Thanks again to everyone at Malt and Mold!

Great staff and great selection of malts and molds.

The heaven bells rang when this place opened up in the neighborhood. Unbelievable selection of snacks (mcclures pickle chips, prosciutto, craft popcorn) killer mixers, cheese, and the most delicious selection of beers. The owners are awesome and always willing to help you pair a cheese or select a beer to go with whatever you’re making for dinner. Were here at least 3 times a week. Neighborhood gem.
