This is a cute place. Great selection of beers. The servers were helpful in picking beers. The ambience is very nice. I like that the brewery wasn't over packed. read more

Great place to go and have a local brew. Everyone super friendly and welcoming. Good selection of beer to suit all.

So maybe it's not located in a barn shed, but everything starts somewhere, and the roots of this here brewery will show you that (so will their logo). I mean the beer is good too so let me be the first to say, welcome to Barnshed Brewery! On the outskirts of Hicksville (almost Bethpage), is where you'll find this new, chill-vibe brew spot. There's a strong hint of the color green lining the walls which accentuates that barn feel, sort of. Honestly it looks and feels exactly like what you want a small craft brewery to be. But how does it taste? (The beer, not the walls). They're serving up seven beers of a nice variety with flights, pints, and growlers available, all at reasonable brewery prices. I came with a couple buddies and between us we snagged 6/7 brews. Here we go: 135 Pale Ale: Perfection in a taster with its mild hoppy complexion and crisp finish. Die Scheune Hefe: Just what the German ordered as this rings true to the hefe style. Mental Toughness: A single hopped session IPA that felt a little flat as opposed to bringing out some true flavoring for its style. State 11 IPA: TBD Propaganda Porter: All that you ask for in a solid porter beer, though maybe a little light on mouthfeel. Chocolate Oats Stout: The oats were prominent on first taste followed by a hint of chocolate on most sips. Brothers Ale: A truly rockin' concoction of creaminess with great undertones of bourbon. From this list you can see Barnshed put its hand in several different beer styles, and this bodes well for future brews. Good stuff, guys. Overall, Barnshed Brewery is a solid new spot in the ever growing (and never ending) beer scene of Long Island. With a few original selections and a great tasting room, you best believe I'll be back for more beer (I didn't get my pint glass yet!). So if you find yourself in Hicksville don't look for a barn, but do look to support this local brewery by raising a glass of LI Barnshed beer. read more

I don't know if it was an off night or maybe because we came in roughly an hour before they close but the beer was just okay - not good, definitely not great. We really wanted to like this place since we try to give several breweries a fair chance but the beer was just totally off. We ordered a flight ($10) and tried the red ale, a nitro stout, a porter, and the lager. The red ale was good but had a very sour aftertaste. The nitro stout was my favorite but it wasn't even THAT good. The porter and lager were terrible and SO sour that it made you pucker your lips. Again it was toward the end of the night and nobody else was there except the bartender so maybe the batches were just thrown off but I really had high hopes for this place and we left incredibly disappointed. But I won't knock this down past 3 stars because 1) the bartender was nice, 2) we loved the decor here, 3) it has a speakeasy vibe because it's tucked within a commercial park and 4) they had hockey on. I hope this was just a weird day for them and it improves. read more

HAPPY 4TH ANNIVERSARY TO Barnshed Brewery. Nice brewery off the beaten path in Hicksville. If you cannot make up your mind go with the flight, no bad choices. So come in and lift a glass and relax. Ciao for now. read more

They had 4 dark beers, my favorite was the 2018 Darkville. Heavy, complex, loads of dark cocoa and coffee. The little brothers ale was my second favorite, although not a dark beer, it was a cream ale however not the typical cream ale you would expect. Bright and crisp, perfect for a warm summers day. Small parking lot with only two designated for the brewery however doesn't seem hard to find street parking. Friendly bartender and easy to strike up a conversation with regulars at the brewery. read more

GREAT BEER Love this hidden gem Seriously 135 may be the MOST DRINKABLE IPA, I HAVE EVER HAD (technically it's a pale ale, but it's so fruity!!!!) Their other IPAs were great: -Mental Toughness: good stuff -Black Crow Sun: little bitter, harsh Propaganda Porter had some good vanilla, but little watery for my tastes Overall, great brewery with some really good beer! read more

We visit Hicksville two or three times a year and are always excited to check out new places in the area. We are big microbrewery people and were happy to see one pop up in town. We were able to find the brewery with the help of Google maps, as it's down in an little industrial park area. I appreciate a good beer start up and I know that over time the beer and the space will drastically improve, it takes time and experience to make great beers and the space generally follows the beer. We visit breweries a lot and in the first year or two generally the beer needs work. That was my feeling about Barnshed. There weren't any stand out beers in my mind. We split a sampler went with a mix of styles. Of the beers we tried I liked the cold brew coffee lager the best, and was surprised to find a coffee beer that wasn't a stout or porter, it was a surprising change! I would definitely get a pint, but may not be able to drink too many of them. The brewery is small with a short bar area and two or three small tables, but there are some games to borrow and pretzels on every table. There is a small tv and the bartender was super friendly. I have no complaints about the bar. We will be back in the fall when we are in Hicksville again. I will happily update this review! read more

This is a real dive, and I love that about this brewery. The tables are constructed of steel piping and some stained wood, and the brewing area is apart of the tap room. They have pretzel rods out for snacking (always a plus). One of the customers there was being very loud and obnoxious, but she bought my friends fiance a beer and apologized for being drunk and loud, so that was cool. The beer here was pretty average. wasn't blown away by anything, but I normally hate smoked porters and I actually liked theirs. I think they will get better over time, so I am willing to come back to check them out again. read more

Went here on a Sunday. We were the only ones there. It's got a cute authentic vibe. The beer was tasty. I wish the bartender shared more about the beer they had, or offered a "flight", which we found out later was the special of the day. He didn't do a lot to sell his product. I would give it a try again... maybe it was a bad day. read more

So cozy and the beer is fresh and amazing. it's super local and doesn't hurt the wallet. i definitely recommend coming here. read more

Barnshed Brewing - a glass of beer on a bar - Breweries Near Me - Hicksville, New York

As I've been exploring breweries around Long Island, Barnshed has been on my list for a while thanks especially to fellow Yelper Josh G. and others whose reviews I trust wholeheartedly. Without a doubt, I was very happy I made the decision to visit this brewery with some fellow amigos, two of whom are new to the brewery world. Although we nearly missed the turn off route 107 (it's not the easiest place to find), it was well worth the effort to visit this small yet spirited brewery. Seeing the option for a flight of 4 for $9, the four of us each decided on this option (or else, why pay a visit here at all?). I opted for the Die Schuene Hefe (6.4% ABV), State 11 IPA (6.9% ABV), Propaganda Porter (6.4% ABV), and Chocolate Oatmeal Stout (6.7% ABV). My beer preferences generally lean toward the stouts, brown ales and low-IBU IPAs (have not yet acquired that palette for the super bitter). With that kind of palette, it should come as no surprise that I loved the Propaganda Porter and Chocolate Oats Stout, both of which offered a sweet, rich flavor, with Propaganda leaning more towards a vanilla flavor and Chocolate leaning towards a (wait for it) chocolate/coffee taste. Die Schuene Hefe was my next favorite in line, offering a very pleasant body of flavor, and State 11 IPA was still very enjoyable (though on the more bitter end for me). My friends sampled a variety of other beers, and altogether we hit every beer on the menu (sans Pineapple Express, which I'd love to try next time). My one friend who enjoys IPAs really loved the Mental Toughness and also enjoyed the Barn Double IPA (though admitted it was on the bitter end for those like myself who do not venture that far on the bitter scale). My other friend with a similar palette to mine really loved the 135 Pale Ale (he went "wow!" from the first sip), and our last comrade most enjoyed the Barnshed Cider (he does enjoy those ciders). Aside from the beer itself, what I really enjoyed about this place was the spirit and heart of it. It's small and scrappy but the owners definitely put a lot into it (it's easy to tell). The beer tasted incredibly fresh and was served with complimentary Utz's pretzels and even some mints before hitting the road. In pondering this brewery, I was on the fence between 4 and 5 stars. In the end, I opted for 5 stars because of my friends. The two newbies fell in love with breweries thanks to this place and are now wanting to explore even more breweries on Long Island (I'm sure I'll be getting texts every weekend now). One friend called it "the freshest beer I've ever tasted". Thanks to the owners for putting so much heart into this place. I cannot wait to return! read more

Stopped by with a few friends to do some tastings before heading out to dinner and we were not disappointed. It's a tiny place with a small parking lot in an industrial part of town. The storefront was easy to miss and we drove by twice before we found it. Inside, just a couple of standing tables, a bar and a couple of stills. The place wa fairly empty since they just opened so we had of to ourselves. We got 2 beer flights for a total of 8 beers to try. Each one of us has varying tastes when it comes to beer and each one was satisfied. My favorites were the boys on the blvd and the mental toughness session IPA. So good we took some home with us. The best part is they have crowlers (cans size of mini growlers) in case you forget your growler at home. We will definitely be back again to try new beers. read more

So excited to have such a great brewery so close. Everyone is super friendly and such a welcoming feel. Since I'm a pumpkin addict I had the Thank Gourd Pumpkin Ale and it was delicious, definitely one of my favorite pumpkin beers this season. Will be back to try more of their selections. read more

Extremely glad to have found Barnshed Brewing. Along with delicious, fresh, cold beer, the low key atmosphere is exactly what I was looking for. Being that everything is brewed on site, there's always something for everyone. The Propaganda Porter, Bethpage Black IPA, and the We Care Alot NEIPA collab were all amazing. I look forward to coming back! read more

It's great that there's a small brewery in Bethpage, but to me, the beer recipes need some work. The pumpkin ale tasted sour to me, and the seltzer had a strange taste. Really hoping some of the recipes change! read more

The beer was great!! Offered a wonderful selection of styles for every palate. Tried the sampler, and really liked the Porter and State 11 IPA. Ended up getting a growler filled up of the State 11. When we went on Saturday there was a decent crowd for being opened for only a few weeks. They had cornhole set up out front and played a few games as well. It is in an industrial park, but easy to get to and find. Parking wasn't an issue when we went on Saturday. Currently, they cannot sell any food but did have pretzels and other snacks that were free to munch on during our visit. I brought my dog which was very appreciative and he was welcomed by the brewer and the other patrons throughout our visit. The beer was so good, we ended up staying longer than we had thought and was able to order pizza to the brewery. Overall, the beer was great, and I would highly recommend a visit. When I'm back on Long Island, I will definitely stop by for another refill. read more

Selection of beers is mediocre at best . Owner or manager is extremely rude and shouldn't be allowed to speak to customers like they do. Wouldn't recommend to anyone so many better beers than this hole in the wall read more

Pumpkin ale on draft at Me & You in Bethpage was delicious. Not sour to me. Maybe needed a week or two in cask to mellow. A favorite!

Great place off the beatin' path. Down to earth atmosphere and impressive variety of great tasting ales, porters stouts and IPAs. Highly recommend going here read more

Great New local brewery! They have a great atmosphere and a delicious selection of beer.

Overall, the beer here needs a lot of help. Everything I tried was either flawed or sub-par, would not return. Rockin the Oats - stale taste, maybe oxidized Murphy's Lawger - forgettable Bourbon Vanilla Stout - not even a hint of bourbon or vanilla IPA? (I don't remember which one I tried) - Harsh bitterness only here. Very little if any hop flavor/aroma. read more

Nice hidden gem. Local craft brewery with a nice selection of beers. Nice atmosphere. Small but roomy. There are games to play if you want like Jenga and some others. 8 choices of craft beers from IPA to Porter. All very good. A couple of tvs to watch sports and good tunes playing. Nice place. read more

Decent beer, popcorn was great, lots of plugs, if needed for your phone BUT disappointed that there were not 16 oz pours on tap. I understand that many beers should be 10oz pours, but there should be an option for a pilsner or a lager to be a 16oz pour. I felt as if was going up every 5 minutes to get a refill. read more

Cool place, just off the main road, in an industrial area. Decent size taproom, not fancy but fun to be at. We have come back several times to see what is brewing. Not a fan of all the beers, but they have a good selections and a couple are really good, like the Rye Ale, and DIPA. read more
