About the Breweries:
Long Island Farm Brewery is a family-owned craft brewery nestled in the heart of Long Island's agricultural landscape. Housed in a renovated potato barn, the brewery offers a unique "barn & raised" experience that blends the region's rich farming heritage with innovative brewing techniques. As fifth-generation farmers, the founders aim to create a true farm brewery experience, utilizing locally sourced ingredients and fostering a community-centric atmosphere.
Jamesport Farm Brewery: Offering a unique "Farm to Pint" experience, the brewery grows the majority of its ingredients, including hops and barley, on-site. This commitment to sustainability and local agriculture ensures the freshest beer possible. The brewery hosts rotating food trucks and live music, creating a vibrant community atmosphere.
Long Ireland Beer Company & Brewery: Another farm brewery, Long Ireland Beer Company, is a beloved microbrewery dedicated to crafting high-quality, preservative-free beers, including over 60 different styles such as the flagship Celtic Ale, Balor IPA, Hooligan Irish Stout, and seasonal favorites like Pumpkin Ale.
