Founder & CEO

Julian Riley moved to New York City and followed his well planned,

and well studied vocation, to a prestigious law firm

and success as a contracts lawyer. Over time, as he grew into his Yankees' cap,

enjoyed evening basketball battles, and moved to Harlem, he recognized

something was missing.

​​

But he wasn't quite certain what.

​​

Along the way came the perfect woman who helped build the perfect family. Combine

that with true friends, a good gig, and more hoops games, everything seemed there. Almost.

​​

Harlem does that to you.

​​

Inspires the hustler to come out. In some. In him. The result was a leap of faith

with a backpack of determination. Be an entrepreneur. Build

something in the community. By the community.​

​​

Harlem Blue City Craft Beer is his story.

​​

A very Harlem story.
