Lynn and I are not big beer drinkers, however, the
Hoptron Brewtique in Patchogue has been intriguing to us for several months. Lynn and I are always drawn to the visuals of a place and HB has a sleek and inviting environment with architectural interiors, artful lighting and comfortable furniture. There are a plethora of beers there, many, if not most seemed to be local and/or New York State offerings. The many selections could be overwhelming but the knowledgeable and engaged staff there helped tailor our flight toward our usual tastes as well as helping direct us toward more adventurous stuff that might expand our palate.
My favorite was one of
Port Jefferson Brewery's offerings. I can't remember the beer's name because I lost my notes but I do remember it was pretty good. Lynn loved the
Long Ireland Pale Ale which is crisp with some notes of bitter and sweet. There are a lot of beers we didn't try so we will be back...
