The Evolution of Craft Beer on Long Island

Long Island's craft beer scene has emerged in the past decade as one of the most vibrant in the country, with award-winning
breweries, top-notch brewpubs and beer bars, an active homebrewing community and numerous festivals.

We thought it was time to have a website dedicated to helping people find and enjoy great beer on Long Island, with
guides to breweries, brewpubs, beer bars, restaurants that respect beer, event listings and other useful info.
