    Good beer, good setting, good service! The location is incredibly convenient, located a few minutes from the LIRR train and about 7 mins from the beach. It had plenty of seating and the back had a giant couch and table for more intimate events. The beer was very good, which is nice considering the owners could have relied on the location to attract weary commuters or thirsty beach goers. I loved the hazy ipa, and the cream ale with vanilla and orange notes. All the beer was worth trying, but the lupilin parkway was worth a crowler! The service was also a nice change, most Brooklyn beer companies are snooty and NJ can be less than friendly. Overall, worth a few hours to chill and rehydrate here!

    Solid, bright and hopping( hoppy too !!) Small selection with something for everyone from NEIPA to Fruity Sour to Stout. Hip and lively crowd... huge space. Love the adequate lighting and table tops... hope they do well, best of luck on this much needed local brew house

    Foam-O - hazy juicy and sessionable at 6.8 .....nicely surprised at how much I enjoyed this............ was not really anticipating this level of quality in the land of PBR. Welcome Home Dude - 8.2 DIPA - opening up nicely in the glass....... and please ask for proper glassware here, as plastic ware is only appropriate for lesser suds! This place was cranking, but as usual, Lisa E. was able to grab a table with seating. Only thing missing was hooks for jackets. Jealous - our table mates are devouring cheesy knots and a beautiful gramma's pie from Gino's. Hitting up that place next. Craft beer comes to LB! Yay!

    This is a fun place to do a beer flight. It gets really crowded during the weekends, so I went on a weekday afternoon. They don't serve food, however, you can bring your own food. There are several restaurants on the same block so you can easily get food. It is also near the LIRR station, so you can go straight from the train station to here. There are several ocean themed beers here such as the clam juice pale ale, the fish are bitin' mexican lager. They also have IPAs and sours. The selection seems to rotate regularly, another excuse to come back to see what is new. You can order and pick up their beer which comes in crowlers. Crowlers are growlers in a can, so its a huge 32 oz can of beer. If you are looking for a fun place to hang out with a large group, definitely check out Bright Eye Beer!

    Love the logo.

    Alright, Bright Eye. Let's do this. Sorry, I started this review off on a strong note because in some ways that's how I've felt since my first experience at Bright Eye. Back on February 29th (Leap Day!) my buddy and I ventured to Bright Eye after they had only just opened a week prior. The turnout was strong and so there were only 4 beers left on tap that early afternoon. Foam-O hazy IPA, Babe's Stout, Regular Slice blonde ale, and Eye to Eye IPA filled out my flight and filled my belly with some pretty solid beers. Bringing in some outside food (a couple slices of pizza from Gino's up the street) added to the casually relaxing feel of eating, hanging, watching some Isles hockey, and enjoying the spacious interior of this brand new brewery. Those feels had me circling five stars in my head, though I really wanted the opportunity to try more brews and maybe spend a little more time at Bright Eye to get a better gist of their beer abilities before signing off on that caliber review...and then this little pandemic thing hit the globe causing my tentative review to get pushed off...until now. Finally back in a "new normal" world, I returned to Bright Eye last weekend on a rainy Sunday to supplant my feelings of this beach-y beer spot. In some ways, it felt like I had been there only yesterday. The place was bustling (about as much as it could with capacity rules), the Islanders were skating it up on several large TVs, and I was there with two chums (one who had experienced Bright Eye the first time with me and also wanted another trip to figure out his own thoughts on the place). The differences? Well, beyond masks until you sit, scanning a QR code for the beer menu, and ordering from a friendly staff member, there were more beers on tap. This time eight choices filled the list which made for a slightly better selection with only a few repeats from back in February. Another flight made its way to me with Billy Summer Haze IPA, Shark Smile session IPA, Babe's Stout (my only repeat), and Sailor's Delight fruited sour. Billy was the best of the bunch with smooth and subtle hoppiness while Babe's stayed strong as a formidable chocolatey stout. Sailor's Delight was decent in fruity/sour flavor with the cherry aspect it stated on the menu somewhat coming through. As for Shark Smile...no. Session beers can be spectacular, but this one tasted off, with bitterness standing next to some other flavors that didn't taste right. Luckily, I drank this second and so I had a few other tasters that helped rid my palate of those tastes. Having said all that (I'm always long-winded when it comes to beer), I now feel like I have a somewhat better idea about Bright Eye Beer Co. and what I'd review it at...I think. Overall, I don't know (okay, I lied). Bright Eye definitely has a nice setup, good space, pretty chill staff members, and solid beers for the most part, though after this second trip and a few brews that didn't blow me away I guess I'm just not sold on five stars. The potential is 100% there and with another visit or two, perhaps it gets the vote of five star confidence that it could reach, but for now let's just say 4 1/2 rounded down for me. Alright, Bright Eye. It's done...for now.

There are a few bar seats with tables spread out - but there is outdoor seating and outdoor pouring which seemed to be closed when I was there. The staff is very friendly and professional. The bartender I had was very informative and made suggestions on which beers to try. They have a huge list of beer; from IPAs to Brown Ales -- They also have a pretty long list of speciality drinks. If you're a craft beer fan, you must check this brewery off your list!

We came right before opening and waited in the car for the doors to open. Upon entering there were several people doing the same thing which speaks volumes for this place. It got busy right away and there was some type of event going on in the back too. Everyone was there to enjoy their beers and boy were they enjoyable. The girl who waited on us was very nice and honest as she gave my gf her brand new Chanel sunglasses she had left on the counter earlier when we were ordering. Thank you! This place has chill brewery vibes as you can see their production area and it's pretty spacey and I love how they are in an old post office building. They have a lot of board games to play while enjoying your beers and they also sell some merch.
