Flighting.

Barrage...is that you? Sorry, got caught up in a beer there for a moment. Let's rewind a sec and put things in motion, as Motion Craft Brewed likes to say on their social media pages. Back on February's Leap Day I had a chance to check out this brand new brew spot (with some buddies) in Massapequa and I was generally impressed. Okay, I'm not overly impressed with the interior of MCB. It's pretty tiny and feels like a few other small breweries on this lengthy island. But seriously, size does not matter. If you can brew a solid beer, I don't care if I have to stand in a broom closet; I'll be there. And Motion isn't THAT small. There's a handful of tables and some spots by the bar so it's not like you can't find a seat. Luckily, my two chums and I scored one table with enough chairs for 2/3 of us to sit. Good enough for me! But good does not make a five star review. Great, amazing, stupendous, superb. Those are the adjectives that get things going in the upper echelon of brewery reviews and so I'll try to throw a few of those into this next part. For starters, nine beers on tap is a superb (there's one!) amount of choices for any brewery. Better yet, if you're able to space out your variety, then I tip my cap to you, as Motion was able to do. A flight of four for $10 is a respectable price and despite it being a tad busy, they had a great (there's another!) system of filling out the flight sheet and standing in a specific spot for the flight to be obtained. It kept things moving quickly so we could get to drinking. What did we drink? Let's start with a hefeweizen (Boulevard Hefe) that checked off the style perfectly, as did their saison with honey and orange peel (My First Crush). Both brews did what they're supposed to do for their specific flavor profiles and I was glad to see, well taste, that. Their Motion Winter Warmer (a black lager) was also crisp and malty while 3-Hour Increments (IPA with citra and mosaic hops) had a smooth and mildly bitter finish. Big props to their s'mores porter (So Happy Together) as I had recently tried a beer of this style at another brewery and it fell flat on its face. This one had an amazing (there's another!) taste of the titled dessert and really made up for my own previous beer drinking failures. Still with me? If you got this far you might be wondering why I mentioned "Barrage" to start off this review. I'm still mourning the loss of one of my favorite LI breweries that absolutely rocked the land of dessert beers. One of them was Yada Yada Yada, a chocolate peanut brown ale that I have yet to find any brewery to make something even remotely close to its flavor...until my tastebuds came in contact with Straight Outta Vonka. This beer had me questioning whether or not Barrage had possibly sold their recipe to Motion as it was so close to the way Yada tasted. Hints of chocolate and a nice punch of nuttiness without it being too overpowering and definitely not loose or watery as some of these types come out. Needless to say, it was a stupendous beer and one I can't wait to retry (even if it makes me miss Barrage even more!). Overall, Motion Craft Brewed is a fabulous addition to the craft beer scene of Long Island. It's nothing entirely interesting to look at, but it's got a little hint of style to it with some friendly employees (did I mention it's diagonally across the street from The Good Life?) and, most importantly, a potent list of beers that should keep them growing for many years to come. Hey, they may not be able to completely replace the other brewery mentioned in this review (*sniffles*), but if they keep churning out beers as wonderful as these then there's always a chance!

My First Crush - Saison ~ Nice!

Fabulous first time out to experience the Motion' of Memorial Day weekend finally, as I have been dying to try this location since it opened. I couldn't wait for COVID19 full restrictions to open up this location for regular service again when they are doing pickup/togo! So while in the neighborhood I had to finally pop in and support local business during these though times. Let's get real they are still too new not to survive summer tasting season. The tasty "My First Crush" saison wins off the bat! It's what a saison should be...crisp refreshing greatness! Can't wait till they are really open again to experience their full line in a flight!

Awesome selection of beers! Such interesting flavors, and they all tasted great. They also offer funky flavored wines, too. Nikki our bartender was great, such a positive personality. We will 100% be going back!

Cute little brewery in Massapequa Park Village. In fact, you could probably walk right past it not knowing it was a brewery. Went there earlier today. It was Saturday and the town was busy! They had a sign on the door about all COVID rules. In fact, they told us there were at minimum and asked us to wait outside for 10 min until some patrons left. Once inside they confined to adhere to Covid rules. Some people may find it annoying, but I don't mind it one bit. I appreciate seeing a business caring for the well being of their customers. But enough of that, let's get to what we went for. The beer, cider and mead. They had 10 items on tap. We liked every single thing we tried. Lots of seasons all fall things for us basic witches. We did a tasting each (4 for $10) and got a growler fill to go. Breweries are a dime a dozen on Long Island right now but I could see this one making a permanent home, and I hope the do! Well be back!

All I can say is WOW! Unbelievable craft beer produced out of Motion. Had a flight and each of the beers were incredibly smooth and full of flavor. Motion has it's brewing down to an exact science! First time I have ever had a pumpkin cider and it was everything I imagined plus more. The "Humble Pie" tastes just like everything it says is in it - caramel, apple pie, cider, and honey. Check out the white stout and pastry stout, and even the coquito, all delicious! Mead is also made there. Literally a 10/10 place, don't miss it!!!

Nice small local place with beers/ ciders and a mead. It is located on a strip next to the parking lot , which is very convenient. The bartender is super nice and funny. I personally enjoyed there cherry the hatchet mead , which had some tartness to it. My husband was drinking humble pie cider , that had a pinch of burned caramel after taste. An excellent place to enjoy music and a good drink Ps. If you order to go , they can it inform of you . Fresh fresh fresh

Small brewery with 10 beers on tap and 5 wine choices. Co-owner Chris is very friendly and is very inviting when you come in. The beer was great and the facility was super clean. This place will definitely make it.

Small taproom, very cozy, with ample parking in the back. These guys are doing both cider and beer, and from what I had, I am excited to see how they evolve over time. Staff is uber friendly and knowledgeable, and they have a nice blend of styles. They are a great addition to the Long Island craft beer community!.
