Thanks for visiting The Beer Hall Guide to Long Island. You'll find links on the sidebar to the right that will take you to information/review pages for each of Long Island's many craft beer destinations. This guide is a work in progress and I'm constantly updating it. If you see anything that is inaccurate or missing, please let me know so that I can continue to improve this guide. Cheers!

What's New to the Guide

Long Island is certainly the focus for this guide, but I've been adding some destinations in Brooklyn and Manhattan.

Below is the new addition to the Long Island guide.

Greenport Harbor Brewing Company

Carpenter Street
Greenport, NY
web: harborbrewing.com

Owners: Richard Vandenburgh & John Liegey

Brewer: DJ Swanson

According to an article that appeared on March 11 in The Suffolk Times, the Greenport Harbor is planning to open for business sometime after Memorial Day in Greenport on Carpenter Street.

Greenport Harbor will produce between 100 and 500 barrels per year. "We plan to keep it small," one of the owners Richard Vandenburgh told me. "We want to serve the local area and be part of the community." The current plan is to brew two signature beers, a Pilsner (probably Bavarian style) and an American IPA.
