Lynn and I have good friends who are serious beer nerds and, as a result, we have been introduced to the exploding craft beer scene on Long Island. One of the lastes venues we have visited is the
North Fork Brewing Company in Riverhead. Located at a former Fire Station, North Fork Brewing has the casual vibe that is so appealing on a late weekend afternoon. The interior had a hipster vibe with its graphics which seem to be partly inspired by hieroglyphics and its over sized versions of classic games like Connect 4.
The beers are creatively curated with my favorite being "Run The Juice" a New England style IPA with a crisp, citrus bite. Lynn favored "Dark Side of the Maple" an American Porter brewed with fresh New Hampshire Maple Syrup. We also enjoyed offerings of "I'm Your Huckleberry" which was a Saison style Farmhouse Ale.
With North Fork Brewing's great combination of warmth and creative beer craft it will no doubt be a beloved fixture in the Craft Brew scene on Long Island...M&L
