Visit Date: August 30, 2025 My friend and I concluded a brewery crawl we were doing here at Long Ireland Beer. They didn't have N/A beer for me to drink, I opted for a seltzer. The atmosphere here seemed cool, kind of on the German beer decor side in my opinion but still cool. This was the most crowded brewery of all the ones I went to in Riverhead. Still a cool place despite lacking N/A beer. read more

Great brewery! I recently did a little winery/brewery tour out east, and this was our first stop on the list. It seemed very small and lowkey, so I wasn't sure I would like it, but I ended up loving it! I thought the Irish theme gave it a unique twist compared to other breweries in the area. Plus, they have a lot of games like ping pong, giant tic tac toe, foosball, etc. They also had a good selection of beer, and I liked the couple I tried. Would definitely come back! read more

Great brewery with incredible staff. Seven years ago, I had a big birthday party there, and all of my guests were amazed at the wide variety of beer. They had something for everyone, including a cider from Woodside for my gluten-free friends. And now they've even got mixed drinks with local NY spirits. I love that the staff treats newcomers and regulars the same. As a regular it's a joy to see those newcomers coming back AND greeting me like we're old friends! They have events throughout the summer and their 1/2 way to St.Patrick's day is not to be missed. On Wednesdays they have run club filled with some of the friendliest people you'll ever meet. On a side-note, one-timers who give a local business a s***y review over an event parking fee are actually outing themselves as cheap s.o.b.s whose reviews should be taken with a grain of salt. read more

Beer was pretty good! Went on a Thursday and lots of other breweries were closed. I wish they were able to sell some nice snacks.

Came here for some pumpkin beer after seeing a picture of pumpkin beer that looked super delish on Instagram. We were disappointed. Not only did it not come with a cinnamon rim, but it didn't even taste like pumpkin beer. It tasted like a basic lager. While it was refreshing on the hot day, it wasn't what we wanted. The bathroom was clean. You "talk" to the paper towel dispenser for it to work. That was probably the highlight of our visit. Eh. Disappointed. read more

Great Beeer.. Big Parking lot. Food trucks come by for more variety. Close to Polish town. Old side of Riverhead. Off the beaten path.

I just read that shitty 1 star that Robert dropped about LIBC having to charge for parking during Polishtown Fair weekend. First of all the parking needs to be attended to keep non brewery people from thinking they can park there for Polish fair . They were charging just $10 to park , that's going to barely cover the attendant that that dude yelled at! Are you serious???Yelling at a 16 year old girl?? Then he says he and 3 friends did not go to brewery because he refused to pay the $10 . Seems like a win for the brewery. No one wants that kind of guy drinking around you ! The brewery is awesome! The people are awesome! The beer is awesome! Every person that goes there except for 1 are awesome! They made a tremendous turnaround and this guy doesn't understand why they had to pay $10 to park as they have done for many years during this fair . Dude is sad, LIBC is awesome! read more

My husband and I visited Long Ireland Brewery for the first time yesterday, after a trip to the aquarium. We thought the whole building was the bar area so we were (pleasantly) surprised when we walked in!! It was a much more personal feeling. Tim was absolutely amazing. He brews the drinks so he has so much knowledge about them. We thought we got the two seltzers on the menu in our tasting, but didn't. Not a huge deal. The next thing we knew, Tim came over with a tasting of the seltzer we didn't get! It was obvious that we were the only "non regulars" there, because everyone knew each other. The drinks were great, the atmosphere was awesome. We will definitely make this a stop whenever we drive out to Riverhead! read more

great people great vibes and the events are always well thought out and fun . there's something for everyone at long ireland .

This brewery is great! We were off between Christmas and New Years and wanted to go far, but not too far, to try out a different brewery. Long Ireland had been on our radar for a while so we decided to check it out. The tasting room is tiny but still cozy and welcoming. There were no employees up front when we arrived but someone soon came out to assist. Everything they're pouring is on a large chalkboard. Due to Lord Cuomo's orders, you must also get some chips with your beer. We both had the jelly roll chocolate porter which was DELICIOUS! Very easy to drink, low abv, and very very smooth. I had the raspberry wheat next, which was good, but not nearly as good as the jelly roll. They have a fridge stocked with beers to take home, tons of swag to purchase, and a clean restroom. They also have a heated tent out back for the winter and a food truck from time to time. Staff is also super friendly and you can tell they remember their regulars. Awesome brewery, can't wait to go back! read more

Kinda more of a neighborhood dive bar than a tasting room. Nothing much to look at, and while the brew was ok... just kinda felt as if we had interrupted them. Cool shirts... shame they had very few in odd sizes. read more

The best word to describe our visit to Long Ireland was "chaotic." I made a comment about the chaotic nature of the place long before the final chaos ensued. First of all: the beers are for the most part very good. I was especially surprised by the lemonade sour, which really tasted like lemonade. So... At first the bartenders were banging on their cash box because they couldn't get it open, then they were chasing a fly around with an electric fly swatter. Now I may have been pretty toasty at that point, but I commented on how this was kind of bizarre. Then IT happened. We were inside when suddenly the doors fly open and a man is laid on the floor. He is having heat stroke, and has already vomited and wet himself. The ambulance was called, his wife was nearly inconsolable, and eventually he was carted off to the hospital. Very strange. Stay hydrated, my dudes! read more

The OG riverhead brewery. Small tasting room, But it makes for a cozy environment. The beers are good and they usually have a nice variety of styles. read more

When the Irish and Long Island love each other very much they have a baby (a 21 year old baby that loves beer) and name it Long Ireland Beer Company. Maybe that's not exactly how this brewery started up, but regardless, it's a must stop location for any beer lover. Yesterday's visit of the Riverhead trio of breweries meant a stop in to enjoy many drinks with a few chums and my sis. This was my second visit here. First time around (about a year and a half ago) I might've chalked the place up to a four star caliber location. That was then, this is now. LIBC looks like a farmhouse and can be easily missed when driving by (my buddy almost missed the turn into the lot!). Once inside, the tasting room isn't too large and only has a handful of wooden hightop tables. But the beer is flowing and the people keep on coming in. We got there at the perfect timing and snagged the last hightop. With more than ten brews available, you'll have your hands full in choosing what to try. Flight? Yes please. Chip system so one taste at a time which honestly is a good idea in keeping your t-buds focused on the flavors of that specific beer until you've washed it all down. Standard 4 choices for $8. I started with the Winter Ale which had a medium body and fits the season perfectly (a new favorite). Next up was the Hooligan stout. Full-bodied and full-flavored with a hint of bitterness. Third was the Celtic Ale which is Long Ireland's pride and joy, doing its duty of being a smooth and tasty original brew. Final of the four was the chocolate porter. I was impressed with the notes of cocoa on the palate after each gulp. Well done LIBC, well done. Special shoutout to the Raspberry Wheat which I didn't include in my flight, but is one of the very select beers that my girlfriend will drink. My sis included that in hers so I had a swig of it and it has a lovely light crisp fruity flavor. Great beer and good conversation ensued until it was time for our final stop of three (Here's lookin' at you, Crooked Ladder). Overall, Long Ireland brings plenty of pride to the isle through its hearty, tasty brews and a brewery that brings in tons of passionate drinkers. You've made me a true fan (I got a pint glass!) and though I may not be out in Riverhead all the time, consider this a spot worthy of stopping at when I am. read more

After spending the afternoon at the north fork wineries with some friends we decide to switch up the pace by stopping here to combat our wine fatigue, and since I wasn't driving, cultivate a nice hybrid wine/beer buzz. The tasting room is nothing fancy with a few high top table and a stand up bar. The walls had a listing of some events, a dart board towards the back and a large window to overlook the behind the scenes brewing operation. I did a flight and was most impressed with the chocolate porter and the black friday imperial stout. My friends liked the black friday so much they actually bought a partial keg of it (*). The server was awesome giving us an additional taste combining the chocolate porter with a splash of raspberry wheat, knowing it would be a crowd pleaser. Give it a shot if you like raspberry truffles - not something I could drink a lot of, but it was interesting to try. Great place to stop especially if you want to mix up your wine tour. All their beers are made well and they have a helpful staff that will point you in the right direction. * This was back on MLK day - I wonder if my friends still have any of that keg left and how come I haven't been invited over? Too good to share I guess! haha read more

Even during a pandemic Long Ireland is still pumping out high quality beer! Just stopped in to restock on chocolate porter since it's back out (and my personal fav!). Always worth the stop! read more

This brewery has it all. Really good beer, good prices, pint pours, growler fills, and cans to bring home. They have twelve beers on tap in their tasting room. You will definitely find one to several beers that you will like here. They brew a wide variety of beers. The 64 ounce Growler fills are $12 to $14. Cans to bring home are $9 to $13 for four or six packs. Finally, a brewery and owners that understand that it is easier and less expensive to fill a bottle than to buy cans, lids, equipment, labels, storage, and refrigeration. Forget the overpriced breweries that will be out of business soon, this is the brewery that you need to go to. It is worth the trip out East. Make a day of it, brewery, wineries, site seeing, lunch & dinner. For as long as they choose to participate, look for them on Groupon. read more

In my tasty journey to experience Long Island Craft Breweries, stop number three was Long Ireland Brewing in Riverhead. Now this Brewery is more of an industrial style building with a good size parking lot out front. This is a no frill space, but there is something good going on inside, another wonderful experience with delicious craft beers. Now this is a good size Tasting Room with accommodations for 30 to 40 beer tasting fans. The space is a little warehouse looking, but today's Tap Master Kelly made you feel welcome. Kelly is a friendly and outgoing Representative of this Brewery who was ready to offer brews, information and a friendly smile. Sample sizes are about 4 oz's with 8 delicious beers on Tap and one bottle to taste. Once again my tasty journey discovered some wonderful craft beers. Everything I sample had lots of flavor with quality of ingredients. When it comes to adult beverages I like to review the items in general terms. I leave the taste buds and opinion to the reviewer to try. What I can say, I had some good tasty craft beer today. I like them all, but found some to be more to my liking. There is something to be said about having some fresh beer served when ready. Outstanding. I was only able to taste 4 of the 8, I am a Responsible Drinker, but I found The Celtic Ale and Pale Ale to be very, very tasty. It was more of my kind of beer. Lots of flavor and very easy to drink. Overall, I highly recommend this brewery for a visit. It may be out of your way, but if you plan a Tasty Journey like me, you can hit 2 or 3 Breweries within a few hours. Tasting Room offered pretzels, a clean bathroom, metal puzzles, plenty of room and lots of fun. Long Ireland Brewing has a good product and I wish them well. read more

Always have to make a point and stop here when in town for some Celtic Ale! Their Raspberry Wheat is a good one to chug down on a hot summer day as well. There's always something going on at this brewery which makes for a fun trip out to Riverhead. Check their website often for the various events they do like the epic, "Halfway to St.Paddy's Day!" Tasting room is a good size and they have pretty cool merchandise for sale as well as some bottled versions of their seasonal brews. Staff here are very friendly and accommodating always taking the time to tell you about what you are drinking. They definitely take pride in their product - and rightfully so it is pretty dammed good stuff! I was pleasantly surprised to see that the Superstar Beverage chain started carrying six pack bottles of their Celtic Ale, Summer Ale, and Breakfast Stout! Now I don't have to go all the way to out to Riverhead for a growler run! read more

First of all, I love the name, real clever. I did not have a beer that I did not enjoy. Tasting room is big and open, clean, with a window to view the brewing area. Everyone that came in seemed to know the bartender by name, and vice versa (repeat customers is always a good thing. I like that you buy green poker chips and trade them in for beer, makes it feel like you aren't paying for beer. The pumpkin was a solid beer, I like the cinnamon sugar rim (bartender hated the fact he had to rim a beer lol). I am normally not a fan of the sweet beers, but the raspberry was very nice, clean, and not too overpowering raspberry taste. The double IPA was delicious, recommended by the bartender so I got it, and it did not disappoint. Nicely balanced hop profile with a nice aroma and good bitterness level. read more

So the tastings are free, the staff is super friendly and their beer is friggin delicious...what more do you need to know? I fell in love with the breakfast stout which was loaded with flavor but smoother then any stout I have had and I see how it could be enjoyed long before noon. I also had the pleasure of a tour and the facilities are impressive and the brewer, owner and tour guide Dan was great! read more

We attended the Pintwood Derby car races on Saturday 1/26 which was our first time at Long Ireland Brewery. It is small inside (as most are) but very nice! They have nice merchandise from shirts/sweatshirts to glassware etc that are inexpensive. I love collecting pint glasses from breweries and i got one for only $3 and I LOVE their logo. They sell northfork chips, hot pretzels w/mustard, and peanuts to have with their tasty beer. They have a lot on tap and also have a refrigerator with cans to go! I enjoyed "Balor" for most of the evening though I tasted others and they were delicious as well. The pintwood derby event was held in the back where all the brewing equipment is which was cool. The races were so much fun and I was very surprised at the turn out! So many people came to this event. We had a great time at this brewery! read more

Now that was fun... More of a wine rather than beer drinker but I really enjoyed this "Long Island's own" brewery. I really enjoyed the Raspberry Wheat and pumpkin Ale... (Too busy schmoozing and taking pictures to drink more.) Want to thank the excellent staff for making us feel so comfortable and giving us a first rate tour of the brewery. I will definitely be back to try the multitudes of beer that they have produced. read more

Long Ireland is one of my favorite Long Island breweries, they do some great dark beers as well as a terrific IPA and they've been getting better since they started up a few years ago. The brewery is always fun, they have a few fun events each year as well as plenty of boards games, snacks, and even a few goats in the backyard. The Celtic Ale and Baylor IPA are consistent and solid choices but the Black Friday Imperial Stout is one I get every time it's available. The staff and owners are always friendly and they rotate in new and seasonal beers to try pretty regularly. read more

Excellent beers and hard seltzers. Very friendly service. Will definitely be going back.

Small brewery but lots of amazing beers! We tried the beer flights and I got to try the Moku Loa IPA (pineapple infused) which was absolutely delicious. It was a part of their 10th Anniversary 10 of 10 limited brews. The Rasp&Wheat was also very good. Really enjoyed thier selections and simply because it was nice and quiet. read more

Avoid at all costs this brewery is nothing special and the staff is as rude as they come, with so many other options don't waste your time or money on this dinky operation. This is your run of the mill beer shed and just a speed bump on your way out to bigger and better on the east end. read more

Rockin' it In Riverhead! Man.. I just left with my brother from another mother the 1/2 way to St. Pattys day beer fest. We were drinking Long Island Brewing's finest ales, $5 bucks a cup. They had Kilts all over the place, the band, the guy was playing spoons. Friggin' spoons!! Lots of big tanks making their different flavored brews. Have I mentioned they're being made in Long Island?? I'm not a fan of hoppy IPA beers but I did try their Celtic ale, Pumpkin ale and Pale ale. I would have loved to try their Breakfast Stout but the tasting room was a mad house. I'll come back when there isn't too many people. If you see this brand at your local pub, give Long Ireland Brewing a try. You'll be glad you did! read more

Let me preface my review with 2 very important points: 1) I can't knock any craft brewery. I LOVE the Long Island craft beer scene, and I give these guys props for the contributions that they're making. 2) I can't knock free beer. They're offering free tastings in their tasting room of the 4 beers that they currently have (Celtic Ale, Pale Ale, Raspberry Wheat, Breakfast Stout). With that said... The Long Ireland Beer Company is still an infant in its development. The owners have only been brewing for a couple of years, and while I think they have lots of potential, right now I have to say... it shows. The beers are drinkable, but lack any real depth. Their signature Celtic Ale was probably their best brew, and the worst was their Raspberry Wheat Ale. I can make this beer myself by mixing Raspberry Seltzer with Coors... The tasting room has also just opened very recently. I went on their fourth day of business, to be exact! The brewers themselves are working the tasting room, but they seemed to be getting stretched a bit thin, as they had to keep running from the tasting room to the back. They offered us a tour of the brewery when we were the only ones there, but they seemed to forget about the tour completely as more people started coming in. In addition to tastings, they have new growler fills available for $15, and refills for $11. The tasting room is currently open Thurs & Fri (3-7pm) and Sat (1-6pm). Check them out if you're in the area, and definitely keep an eye on these guys. I think we're going to be seeing a lot more of them in the future! read more

My second favorite brewery on Long Island but still a 5 star establishment. Great beers (Celtic Ale is where it's at) great staff great business and adequate tasting room. It can get pretty crowded but not too bad plus they really pay attention to who's cup is dry. The staff really knows their stuff too about their product and if they have the time they will really get into the details of the brewing process and the tasting notes. The tasting room is smallish but it always seems to serve the crowd adequately enough. They have a bunch of fun events over the year that are worth coming to. They offer a wide variety of brews and boast a cohesive enough operation that really emphasizes the quality behind that variety. Come thirsty! Take a cab home! Enjoy! read more

The third stop on the Yelp Beer Bus tour this past weekend and the farthest one out in Riverhead. Hey, it gave us a lot of drinking and dancing time on the bus and the only drawback is that there is only one little bathroom here for everyone to share. It's a nice place with a decent sized tasting room and a good view of the brewery tanks. I am big fan of a darker beer and really enjoyed the Breakfast Stout. In fact, I snatched up a bottle of their Black Friday Imperial Stout of which they only had a few left. If I remember right they had about 4-5 beers on tap to try from a pale ale to an IPA to the stout brew. Definitely an up and comer, and a brewery to keep an eye on. Free pretzels at the bar were a nice touch, and the bartender was friendly, but some of the old geezer locals seemed to hunker down at barside and not relinquish their spots the whole time we were there. Whatever, we still had a good time sampling and there were a few high tables to chill at. They should add in some more seating as they do have the room for it. Still dudes, add another bathroom as having only one toilet for a bunch of beer drinkers for the whole place just does not work! read more

I was way too excited to finally visit Long Ireland. I went up to the bar and proudly exclaimed I wanted to be in the pipes and drum band! (That's what happens when you've had wine and cider before coming to drink beer!) Anyway, I gladly used two tokens for both the Double IPA and another two for the Black Friday stout. Midway through, we were offered a tour, which completely made my day. I mean, seriously, who gets that excited to see hoses and cardboard boxes? THIS GIRL DOES. It was really awesome. We finished up our tour of Long Island here and it couldn't have been a more fitting end. I honestly didn't want to leave, but were running late as it was. I already can't wait to head back here for a tasting! read more

It's a bit far from home, but when in the area visiting family I try to make a point of visiting Long Ireland. For 10 years they have been making solid beers in different styles and a few that are outright fantastic! This past weekend I popped in and had another great experience. I was welcomed with smiles and fun banter thanks to Patrick and Deena behind the bar. I love how LI work out flights with chips so there's no rush and worry one's beer will get warm. On top of that, Deena even walked a couple of tasters over to my table unexpectedly. It wasn't a long walk, it wasn't necessary, but it was above and beyond and very much appreciated. Thank you all and I already look forward to my next visit. read more

Who doesn't love a good brewery?!? We got the Groupon ($18 for 2 glasses and a growler) and arrived literally before the doors opened. We each tried a different beer in our flight so we could try as many as possible. The poker chips you get for each of your samples made it a fun game where I wished I could've just yelled "All in" but then I probably would've fallen asleep on the ride back to the hotel. All of the beers were great even the stout which I didn't know I was asking for and am not usually a fan. We settled on a growler of the blonde ale which was delightful later on at the hotel we were staying at. Hoping they have the blonde ale in shippable bottles/cans soon!! ::wink wink hint hint to any of the people who work there who might read reviews.....:: read more

I came to Long Ireland Beer Company as one of the stops on the Brew Crew Cycles tours. It was our last stop, and we were so tired, but still, so very, very thirsty. I can't remember the exact reason, maybe it was that we were a bit short on time for this place, but I ordered the Raspberry Wheat beer instead of a tasting flight. Everyone had recommended it to me and it was such a delight. Long Ireland had a great community feel to it, everyone that was there, was friendly and open. Out of all the craft breweries on LI I think they have the most clever name. From looking at the flyers on their wall, they seem to participate in a lot of events and are very active in the community. Love that! read more

Visited on a Friday, paid $8 for tokens to try multiple beers. Great value for the price, as my friends and I shared and tried everything. I wasn't expecting much of the beers, but I was absolutely wrong. All of their stuff was really good. We even liked the classic Irish and Polish beers which we usually don't care for. The oak aged Pumpkin we tried was amazing. Patrick was the bartender, and he was really nice. Really fun to talk to. We'll certainly be back. read more

Amazing beer and a friendly staff! Brought our dog and enjoyed a good time in the tent drinking beer

Came here on a Groupon while vacationing in Long Island. I was quite surprised by how much my Groupon got me (1 growler and 2 pint glasses). They give each person 6 poker chips which you use to redeem a sample of beer. Each beer is 1-2 chips. Between my husband and I, we tried every beer with some pretzels on the side. Our bartender was very nice and knowledgable. He told us more about the area and gave his honest opinion of all the craft beers in Long Island. read more
