We visited
Moustache Brewing in Riverhead, NY recently and were dazzled by the architectural quality of the interiors of the place (recently moved into by MB). Lynn and I were talking about how more and more breweries interiors on Long Island are becoming increasingly sleek and aesthetically pleasing. With its attractive tabletops, flattering lighting and pleasant acoustics Moustache could easily pass for a high end restaurant.
Lynn and I had a sampler of Moustache's brews and were particularly fond of the citrus laden "Sailor Mouth." and American IPA hopped twice. We also enjoyed another American IPA "DJ Night." On the other end of the spectrum Lynn particularly enjoyed "Salto Mortale" (a risky step or undertaking in Italian) which had an ABV of over 12% which is brewed in Bourbon barrels with molosses, maple syrup and blackberry; perfect to warm up with on a cold winter day.
There were several other brews we did not have a chance to try including the Nine Pin Cedar Works made from apples from Samascott Orchards in Upstate New York. We certainly look forward to visiting this jewel in Riverhead to see how their brewery evolves....M&L
