We were the first customers of the day and the tables were dirty. I asked for two cups of water and they had tap; fine. When the poured the tap out it looked pretty cloudy so I got a bottled drink to be on the safe side. Of the two people working, one was on their lunch break (they just opened at 12) and watching loud videos on their phone. No music playing, menu items were crossed out. Pretty bad overall vibe. read more

I would give 5 stars as they have all the cheeses l love and can't find anywhere else, however they do not accept cash. As I do not often use credit cards or debit cards, this is just a bit of inconvenience. That being said, the workers are down to earth. You can try any cheeses before you buy. I recommend red dragon it's a mustard cheddar and the onion balsamic cheese, they are AHHHmazing read more

We first came here when this place was a month old and we were long overdue for a visit. We stopped in just got get a beer and a cheese board. This place has changed a little since the last time; their menu was more extensive which now included grilled cheese (yum!) I'll definitely have to those next time. We got a couple of the finback beers which were crisp and light - perfect for a hot summer day. We got the manchego and quince cheese board which was served with jam and crackers in plenty. It was delish! The menu has multiple types of cheese boards for whatever kinds of cheese you prefer. And if you don't like any of those you can make your own! In addition to the grilled cheese and cheese boards, they have fondue!! I hope that they expand the menu again to add in Mac N cheese! Overall this is a great addition to the Stony Brook village. The service is great and it's a cute little hole in the wall where you can just sit back and enjoy a pint or a glass of wine. The only thing bad about the place was the limited amount of beer on tap. Also on the board there's no description of the beers. You would think "Brew Cheese" would have more than 5 beers on tap. But you're welcome to sample any of the beers and the guys behind the counter are very knowledgeable about any of the beers and cheese so that makes up for it. See you soon Brew Cheese! read more

Small shop with good beer selection on tap and in the fridge. Super friendly service. Tried Bourbon County for the first time. It's a type of stout brewed in bourbon barrels, hence the name. It has a very unique taste: sweet and bitter infused with smokiness comes from the barrel. I would recommend everyone to have a taste for the experience. I ended up liking it after the fourth or fifth sip. My friend ordered a brie plate to share amongst four. Pros: Good portion; cheese knife is very cute and stylish. Cons: not an impressive arrangement, it's half of a Brie sliced in half filled with some jam. You can make this at home in 1 minute. It'd be a more attractive dish if the Brie is baked and filled with more ingredients like some nuts &fruits with jam. read more

Today is opening day of Callie's new spot!! It's in the same location as the now defunct Stony Brook Godiva Chocolate shop, next to the Stony Brook Village Post Office, to the right. It's amazing to see what she's done with the place. The layout is exquisite - it starts with 2 large barrel 2 tops along the windows in the front, with a very long and large bar against the back wall with some of my favorite cheeses displayed in the displace case. The far left side of the bar has beers on tap with bottles in an open fridge on the left. Behind you she features spreads and breads (oh...that rhymes). They've got several cured meats available as well. More to come including photos and such!! Stay tuned!!! THIS has been a review by Gaurav read more

Great little place. Not a lot of seating but quite cozy if you do manage to nab a table. Grilled cheese sandwiches, craft beer, and cheese trays. What else could you want? If you're with a group I recommend splitting a cheese tray (meats et cetera are extra) with a drink to start then all grabbing your own sandwich. Lots of options and all are delicious. It's a little pricy for what you get but I guess that's what you pay for the experience. Would definitely recommend for a little Friday night outing with friends. read more

This place is awesome!! Perfect for a lowkey date night/girls/guys night out. It is situated in a small shopping center across from the Three Village Inn. It is a bit small, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in an assortment of ciders, beers & wines. We got a cheese platter and a cheese fondue plate and we weren't disappointed at all! The cider paired well and was delicious. read more

Two of the greatest things in the world in one place. Excellent service and atmosphere. I don't make many of these reviews so just take it from someone who felt inspired, it's good. I had Chelsea pick the cheeses in my platter for me and all three were separately but equally delightful. If she's working, ask for her. She won't steer you wrong! read more

Love this place! Pretty much go here on a weekly basis. In my opinion, you can't go wrong with any of the cheese boards. The French onion grilled cheese is to die for. I always go for the truffle cheese board, comes with fig jam and crackers. Amazing combo! read more

This place is fantastic if you love cheese. Came here twice with my family and everyone loved the sandwiches. My favorite is the "Robert Baratheon" . The cheese selection is unique and they will let you try samples. They also have many great beers on tap as well as unique bottled beers. I also loved the one on one service you get when speaking to owners/workers when deciding what you want to eat. This place is great for a casual lunch /dinner and or would be fun to take some friends or for a date night. We will be back for sure read more

Got a Groupon for a flight of beer and a cheese plate. This place is adorable for a mid week date night. It definitely a small place, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in deliciousness. The beers on tap were nothing that I had ever tried before and the person who helped us paired the most delicious cheeses with them! The menu consists of beer, cheese and grilled cheese, which I am looking forward to having all three sometime soon. They also have cool gifts and make your own 6 packs of craft beer. read more

Good! Crispy! Gooey! Hot! Good bread! It's a combination of a sit down beer bar/cheese tasting/cheese store. I don't remember the name of my grilled cheese sandwich (no menu is posted online) They don't have a website, just facebook.) But, it had drunken goat cheese with warm fig spread. My friend had grilled cheese with pickles and spicy sauce. Both were melted in thick multi grain bread. (that's the only kind of bread they have). They were served in a deep metal dish. There were plenty of napkins on the tables. They should have mac & cheese! Many choices of cheese you can take home. And many choices of beer bottles you can take home. The tables...not really tables..big barrels for the tables for 2. It's not a good place for big groups. 2 tables for 2, 2 tables for 4, and 5 stools at the bar. Tiny stools. You seem to sit sideways and have to sit on your coat. No prices listed, until you see your bill. The signs behind the counter are faded chalk... They should have more drink choices besides beer and a couple of sodas in the frig. read more

Honestly this place is a little overrated. The setup/atmosphere was nice, but the sandwiches were lacking, french onion should've had more onion and the raclette was too close to the heat source before it was scraped onto our sandwiches so it didn't melt quite right. The gentleman serving us was nice enough, but I think next time I'll pass on this spot read more

I just popped in today to check this spot out. The truffle cheese blew my mind and the IPA I tasted was also fab. I will say I was a little unhappy when I discovered dust in my fig spread and when I went to pay it was dusty on the countertop. No biggie but it's what knocked it from a 5 star experience to a 4 star. It was on the pricey side but it is to be expected in the village and in a craft beer specialty cheese spot so no surprise there. I will definitely be back for a taste again soon. read more

Charming shop with really interesting cheeses, beers, wine & gifts. Try the truffle gouda cheese & grilled cheese sandwiches! So good. We asked Dave the cheesemonger to surprise us with a grilled cheese sammy... we were blown away! Fanciest grilled cheese ever on 7 grain bread. Walked out with a bag of fun pickled veggies in a jar from Brooklyn, orange fig jam & a portable cheese melting apparatus! read more

Stopped by the Stony Brook Village to get some coffee, Village Coffee, and give the Crazy Bean a second shot. Let's just say we decided to give this a shot due to the long wait at the Crazy Bean. Brew Cheese is amazing! It's a cute little shop that you would think would just get your beer and cheese and go. NOPE! Not only do they have a wide variety of cheese and beer, they also make the best grilled cheese I have ever had! Say good by to the proceeded american cheese on white bread, the Apple Jam-bo-rie is out of this world! It's Brie cheese with granny smith apple and bacon jam between a multi grain bread. Bread was so crispy, not mushy at all and they do not skimp on the cheese. My boyfriend had the Savory Meltdown, "French Raclette Cheese" with a black pepper bacon jam. I didn't even get a chance to have a bite because he ate it so fast. Paired with a great beer it was the best lunch I have had in the SBV. We also picked up a 6 pack of beers that you can mix and match, I believe for $11. They had a nice variety of different beers with pretty high alcohol content. *wink wink* All together we spent less than $40! Staff was very nice, gave us recommendations on cheese and sandwiches. Very knowledgeable. It's in a nice location. Kind of out of the way if you are not in the Stony Brook area, but worth a try! Bottom line: A must go! Prices are fair, staff is very nice and helpful. read more

Brew Cheese - Apple Jam-bo-rie....so tasty! - Cheese Shops Near Me - Stony Brook, New York

Came here again, because well we needed our cheese fix. My girlfriend got two free beer coupons a while ago so we had to come back to at least cash them in. We ended up staying for a second beer along with a manchego small board that comes with crisps and quince paste. The cheese was enough for our mid afternoon snack but we just had to have more cheese! We asked for a few samples and ended up taking some buffalo cheddar home. I want to buy a pound of that stuff and make buffalo mac and cheese for our next BBQ. Only knock on the place, if your called brew cheese you need more than 6 on tap beers. The tap beers are rare which is great and the cold fridge has some other rare cans and bottles along with them adding some wine on the back of the menu. But I would love if they added 4 or more beers on tap to really bring this place up even more. read more

GREAT selection of beer. They have 2 fridges stacked with a huge variety. They also have HEADY TOPPER! Very excited about that. Cute place. It's very cozy in here. Also very small so it can get packed very easily. If you're lucky to grab a table, the service is amazing. The girls waiting on us were so sweet and the cheese monger is a wizard. Seriously awesome service. Great place to go if you want a light bite after walking around town or spending the day at Avalon. They only serve cheese (cheese boards and grilled cheese) so if you're looking for something a bit more substantial, this probably isn't your spot. *** I see some reviews say they DON'T serve wine, but indeed they DO *** read more

Took the Bridgeport Ferry to Port Jefferson on a warm sunny Saturday in April came across this great little place in Stony Brook, beer and cheese. When we entered the aromas were amazing. Thought I was just going in for cheese, but couldn't resist the sandwiches. Ashley, the only individual working that day, was very attentive, personable, and she made the best sandwich. Next time I'm in StonyBrook I will be sure to visit. read more

They have beer. They have cheese. They have people. The beer is good. The cheese is amazing. The people are friendly. They also have a mighty fine stein collection of which I am tremendously jealous. If you go there, tell them I want one of the steins. Just one. I'll even take a small one. I'm not greedy. Go there and get a beer and a grilled cheese and be mad that you didn't do it sooner. read more

If you love cheese (who doesn't love cheese?!) you will love this place. It's fetta than the cheese place in Port Jefferson and may brie the best addition to the village they've had in a long time. It's a small place that doesn't have much seating, but the barrel tables are cool and they did a great job decorating inside. The cheese guy (I forgot what their technical name is) is super knowledgeable and more than willing to offer you samples. They have 2 fridges full of beers and ciders that you can buy as singles or make your own 6 pack for a gouda price. Worth a stop in. read more

Lovely and unique place right in beautiful stony brook village. So much variety for both cheese and beer. The fondue for 2 was fantastic and we also tried some of the grilled cheeses which were out of this world.

My favorite place on Long Island. Nestled quaintly in Stony Brook Village, Brew Cheese offers an aesthetic that is very difficult to find anywhere. The concept of offering unique craft beers from breweries all over Long Island and the country, coupled with a huge list of cow, goat, and sheep cheeses from all over the world, Brew Cheese is an artisanal gem. The owners, Tim and Callie, as well as their cheesemonger Dave and the barmen Holden and Brett, are incredibly friendly and treat you like family. I've been to Brew Cheese almost every single weekend, because not only is the cheese and beer excellent, but the good vibes and chill atmosphere is what keeps me coming back. read more

I popped in here one day just to check the place out as I was on my way to another shop in the complex. I was very impressed. Mostly by the beer. Great selection and it really hit the spot. I'm not a fancy guy with all the cheese silliness (like those fruity wine people). But, damn. The staff selected some great stuff for me. I regret that it was only a short visit and I will definitely go back to see what else they can whip up for me. One drawback is that the place is kind of small. But, I suppose there isn't much that can be done about that. read more

Took care of my simple cheese needs. I didn't know what I wanted until the friendly staff offered me a couple samples--settled on Drunken Goat, delicious! I would return to pick up supplies for a platter at home--didn't seem to have the comforts or ambiance for a sit-down treat. They have a good selection of single can/bottle beers (not sure if you're allowed to take home or they must be consumed on premises). read more
