August 30, 2025 I came here with my friend as part of a Riverhead brewery crawl we did. I was DD. I do like a good non alcoholic beer and North Fork and Ubergeek had one for me. It was the same beer called devolve. I liked the beer it was light with a nice fruity taste. Northfork looks like they set up shop in a garage which is pretty cool, they designed it well but I wonder how they stay open in the winter. I did like the atmosphere of nice fresh air coming in from outside. I liked North Fork definitely a good brewery to check out! read more

We wanted to keep the party going on the last day of 4th of July weekend, so we stopped by North Fork Brewing for a flight and a bite. Our bartender was awesome. Super nice and approachable, let us sample anything we wanted. I went with a flight to start out with since there was a nice variety of options. I'm not an IPA person, so I opted for a peach sour, a pilsner, a wheat beer and one wild card that was bitter but in a good way. I love a good sour and had to get a second glass of the peach beer after my flight. Prices are reasonable, flights are around $12 for four pours, and a draft beer is $9. They also have cans to go if there's a beer you fall in love with and want to take home with you. They have a rotating food truck out back (it was Greek food when we came here) and also had a few empanadas. We did the three for $13 and got a variety. Our bartender accommodated us by leaving the black bean one on a separate plate since one of us don't eat meat. Ambiance here is chill and laid back, there are several games you can play and there was live music you could hear playing from next door at Montauk Distilling Co. which was a nice touch. A solid place to spend a nice Sunday - I was honestly surprised they weren't packed. read more

Best beer in Riverhead definitely top beer on Long Island. Everybody's so friendly. make sure you have fun when you go. Try all the beers. Basement pipe is amazing every beer on tap read more

This place is so cool! Great vibe, super clean, and really nice and knowledgeable people working here. Most importantly, the beer is insane. You can sense the passion the owner Pete puts into his craft. Pete is always willing to say hello and chat it up whether about beers, music, or whatever. He's also very easy on the eyes and I was hoping to set him up with my son, but he's married with two kids. Best beers and chill spot in Riverhead, hands down! read more

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Nice variety of beers and a cider for the gluten free crowd. All the beers (and the cider) were tasty. Will be going back. read more

Great selection of beers, great service, great Playlist. I will definitely be back... cheers

Peter is a lifesaver! A few weeks out from an event that had been booked for a year, the Moonfish Brewery cancelled our party and returned the deposit. Peter, the owner of the North Fork Brewing Company rescued our 70 person Welcome Drinks event by opening his space privately for a 2 hour affair. Thanks to his generous spirit and willingness to help, our evening was a huge success! His very knowledgeable and outstanding staff, including Kevin (who we met prior) and bartenders Lucas and Jackie really were amazing! The space is perfect for hosting private events and most importantly the beer options are outstanding. Everyone who attended raved about how great everything was! The North Fork Brewing Company ended up being the perfect spot for our celebration. I would not hesitate to have a gathering here in the future or just hang out when it's open. If you are in the area, stop by and have a taste. You will not be disappointed! read more

5 stars is for their on tap ginger ale! After going to three breweries I don't know what went wrong each beer I sampled here had a bitter aftertaste. My fiancée said it was my tastebuds as he didn't have any aftertaste. Anyway, decided to switch to a non- alcoholic drink. I noticed ginger ale on tap so decided to have that. Holy moly absolutely delicious!!!!!!! Refreshing and man you could really taste the ginger in a good way! My fiancée really enjoyed it too. This brewery is large as it used to be a firehouse. The bartender was sweet. No food here but they had chips for purchase which were great!! So five stars for the ginger ale and great bartender. I can't say anything about the beers as my tastebud just weren't the same after going to a few other breweries nearby. read more

Came here on a gorgeous October Friday afternoon and enjoyed a flight with some empanadas. We sat on the patio. We are very covid conscious and so are we and we loved that the bartenders were masked and that the garage doors in the front were open making the whole space outdoors. My favorite beer in my flight was Butternut the Hutt. Can't wait to go back! read more

Alright, I'm a softy when it comes to breweries. I wanna give them the best reviews possible and try my hardest to eek out five stars wherever I go. Perhaps it's the amount of beer styles I've consumed or my tastes always growing and changing, but recently I'm expecting a little more out of new brew-spots. Case in point: North Fork Brewing. We teetered on three stars here last week, but in the end, three and a half went up. Here's why. Of course you want to drink in a nicely set up taproom, though I don't usually let this factor in my decision too greatly. I will say that for the size, North Fork used their space well. A long bar with several large tables right behind it along with a little outer area via garage door that extends things into a cozy, comfortable, and welcoming setting. There are hints of Long Island love on the walls which is a pleasure to see and helps to grow that independent craft beer buzz that is truly needed. Staff were also friendly in my brief interactions as well as with other beer goers I overheard. I enjoyed the acoustic guitarist playing in the corner who gave a little flare to that Sunday afternoon...if acoustic guitarists fall under "flare." So where do things slip up? The beer. Now most of my three star brewery reviews hit that low due to lack of flavor and quality. Honestly, North Fork started off in such a way via several beers that seemed to miss the mark on the flavoring they were trying to yield. Dark side of the Maple porter (you can figure out the flavor) and Butternut the Hutt (pumpkin/squash) didn't really rock their respective styles or tastes. It was a step in the wrong direction. Another brew that improved from these two but didn't entirely do it was Receptor V2. This pale ale was meant to have some hints of orange and coconut, though I never really tasted them (albeit there was something fruit-ish flavor in some sips). Receptor did have a mildly hoppy finish which helped in giving it a good ending. The savior of the flight I consumed was Run The Juice. This NE style IPA was on point from first sip (I literally let out an "ooh") and continued to deliver in its subtle hoppy flavor and mouthfeel coating. I was impressed to say the least. Between this and the fact that there were five more beers I didn't get to try (some sounding wondrous) leads me to wanting an uptick for four stars over three. Overall, North Fork Brewing didn't hit on all cylinders and came close to falling under the level of quality breweries that are found on this lengthy island. But with a sizable selection and a few brews (Run the Juice!) that are superb, NFB is worthy of a visit and return trip. Next time I find myself on a beer-venture in Riverhead I'll be sure to add in North Fork Brewing to the mix. Here's hoping things hop up from here because this guy (me) loves to give out five stars for beer. read more

North Fork Brewing shares a former firehouse with Montauk Distillery (separate entrances). A vacuous space, it offers a peek at the brewing equipment in the back while a longish L-shaped bar serves the thirsty hordes. Humongous garage door opens to the outdoor seating area (several high tops and picnic tables) in nicer weather. Retro Donkey Kong Junior video game and Vinyl Sundays are fun. North Fork Brewing Co. is a Must Stop as you head out East; even more so if you're a craft beer geek. Carefully crafted recipes with quirky names result in beers that run the gamut from tart and refreshing sours to big, brooding, dessert-like stouts. Stroop! There It Is! is a golden ale with crème de caramel. A light, easy-drinking beer with sweetish notes. Temporary Death is an 8.3% double IPA that's right in my wheelhouse. Pineapple and mango notes (maybe?) help hide the ABV. Squiddy Smalls is a collab with Kidd Squid in Sag Harbor. Ridiculously an "imperial sour" at 9.3% (sours are normally low ABV), this is yet another example of the playful innovation one can expect from this brewery. Walking distance to main street, the tasting room is a perfect way to start your day out east! Cheers! read more

I really enjoyed my time at North Fork Brewing Co. We reserved outdoor seating after spending the morning at the nearby aquarium. My boyfriend and I had a flight each, and enjoyed trying different brews. His favorite was the Run the Juice IPA, and my favorite was the strawberry IPA which I had a glass of after the flight. While we were sampling some of the beers, we ordered some snacks for lunch. We shared the lobster roll (no filler!), chili cheese dog, and potatoes. The environment is really chill at this brewery, and it looks like a distillery just opened next door from them too. This looks like a great spot to bring friends on a night out. Also important: staff was all wearing masks, patrons were asked to wear masks, and each time a patron/group would leave, staff would sanitize everything they touched. I felt safe drinking and eating here! read more

Loved this brewery. It was nice that they were still able to do flights during COVID. We tried 10 different beers and every single one was complex, full of flavor, and very drinkable. Loved the vibe and decor, and the staff was very friendly. Everyone wore masks and observed social distancing rules. read more

This was definitely something new- a brewery in an old fire house. Cool place. Nice selection of beers and good crowd. The place was pretty crowded for a Saturday during the day in December. The bartenders served us right away which was pleasant surprise for a crowded brewery. Plenty of tables and room to sit down and they had live music during the day on Saturday. The only thing I didn't see here was food or food trucks. Really liked the atmosphere and relaxed vibe about the place. Definitely head over if you are in the area. read more

North Fork Brewing - Shaolin Shadowboxer Double IPA w/ lactose - Breweries Near Me - Riverhead, New York

BIG fan of NoFo Brewing! There's really nothing that comes to mind that I don't like about this place. I love the look of the old fire dept from the outside, and when the weather is nice they have the garage doors open with a couple tables outside. I bet this Summer they will be a bit busier since last year was their first year open. Inside there is enough room to chill by the bar, and a good amount of tables to sit. Watch out though, the tables are on wheels and can move a bit! Their variety of taps ranges from: house made soda (0%) which is root beer or ginger ale, DIPA, stouts, saisons, pale ales, etc...the list goes on. I haven't had a bad beer from them. The double IPA is super drinkable without being overpowering. Most times on the weekend they have a food truck which is equally as bomb and even if it is a little busy, the bartenders are always on point making sure you don't wait too long. read more

Cool brewery bar in an old firehouse building. I tried the "Basement Pipe" Belgian Dubbel which is 8.2% ABV. Nice and tasty! Service was really nice at their bar. Seating is spartan but cool. Only food was bagged potato chips or nuts but the chips went well with the beer. Good music playing too. Cheers! read more

I have been wanting to visit here for quite some time but it keeps falling off my agenda. Finally made it out Friday night for a flight. The space is large and open and there are plenty of tables and chairs which is awesome. They had a ton of beers on tap as well as a root beer. The main room allows you to look into the brewing area which was cool. The beers themselves were pretty good! I tried 4 for a flgiht ($8) and the glasses were quite large which was nice. The "Bill's Hyper Local Forecast" was my favorite, it has the spices of a pumpkin beer, sans the pumpkin. It was smooth and delicious. read more

Wow. What a great brewery. Beers are really good, outdoor seating is awesome (reservations are needed) and staff were helpful. My favorite thing about this place aside that it is an old firehouse is that they have a good variety of beers not just IPAs. Def stop by when you are in the area. read more

North Folk Brewing just opened & they're already killing it with their awesome beer! I sampled a few of their brews at the grand opening & they were all high quality. Pierce the Ale is their flagship west coast style IPA that your lite beer drinking buddy would like while pleasing any beer snob. I'm glad they have a varied selection of beers & aren't too heavy on just IPAs. My favorite beer (& the one I was looking most forward to trying) is their stout brewed with cold brew coffee & maple syrup. I ended up taking a growler of it home to share with friends. The brewers Ian & Pete have extensive experience brewing & even source most of their hops from their local farm. They go out of their way to get as many ingredients locally as possible. Their taproom is very inviting & kid friendly. Check out the Donkey Kong machine in the corner! Lots of seating either at the bar or tables. read more

With this stupid covid thing, reservations are highly recommended. We didn't have any and I assured the security guy we were here for a "one and done"... he was super cool and let us sit for awhile as I had my flight of 4 diff beers. Music was good and bartenders were friendly. They have about 5 tables out front for the nice weather along with indoor seating. I been here a few times and will def come back again. read more

North Fork Brewing - Tasting - Breweries Near Me - Riverhead, New York

Stopped in here after lunch as we heard good things about both the beer and space. The tasting room is located in a former firehouse and the owners have lightly ingrained that with their minimalist style. The tasting room is spacious with a large bar and good signage. I love that the taps are affixed to lockers, running with the firehouse theme. On this visit, I ordered a flight and went with the Iron Pier, the Gaffer's, the guest mead Mininacht, and the Sandpaper. I was really drawn to the Iron Pier - a coconut and milk porter and it remained my favorite out of all the drinks. The Gaffer's was good too, but was just so heavy to be drinking after coming from a big lunch. The Mininacht, i think is from WA Meadworks, wasn't bad, but definitely reminded me of cough syrup. The sandpaper didn't stick out to me in any way. The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and are happy to give you the guest wifi password - it's really fun! read more

This brewery's building used to be a fire house. That already adds to the cool factor. The beer is good and they do a variety of styles. There seems to be something for everyone. I like that they collaborate with local businesses, whether it be other breweries, food trucks or local ingredients (such as collaborating with North fork doughnut company) read more

This place is run by the nicest people, the top notch beers are just a plus! We made a reservation for an outside table two weeks ago. The service was incredible and the food at the food truck was insane! Best lobster roll I've ever had. We took a 4 pack of the Run The Juice Togo because it was so good! We will be back for sure! read more

I have to give this place so much credit. My wife is a new mom and she was surprised at the bathroom.

Beer was very good and the outdoor space is spacious and comfortable! Good job North Fork Brewing Co! read more

Came here while we were out east going to the ferry. The place is really cool because it's in an old fire station. I love stuff like that. It was also pretty crowded. I noticed they had games to play around which I also like in a brewery and I like that people were playing games and talking to one another. The beer itself was good, we tried everything. I didn't have a beer I didn't like but there also was nothing super outstanding to me. read more

I waffled on what rating to provide North Fork brewery and ultimately settled on a 4 star experience. In my mind typically when rating a brewery, the beers should be 90% of the rating unless there was some other wow factor that needed to be included. In this case I think when talking about the beers there were some hits and some misses. The brewery has a nice selection of sours, ales and dark beers. I think the sours need a little more experimentation to get where they need to be. Flavors didn't pop as much as I would like in a sour. I think the ales and IPAs were nice but nothing particularly stood out. My favorites were actually the dark beers especially the porters. I typically don't go for these types so I was glad I got a flight. The actual brewery space is pretty cool and well designed. I think the space used to be part of a fire house. The brewery has some snacks for purchase like chips but you are mostly coming here for the beer. All in all, everyone was friendly and I'm definitely rooting for these guys to keep pumping out new beers. read more

My first visit to North Fork Brewing, and I will be back. I understand these guys recently opened. The brews are great! I don't remember the name, but i had an IPA with a hint of pineapple in it. Though I tend to go for traditional IPAs, this one was superb. The atmosphere is also very well done - it's a renovated fire house - and the servers are knowledgeable and friendly. Prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend! read more

This place is definitely worth the trip. Cool outdoor vibe. Great for people who like IPAs. Would recommend a stop here, if in the area.

This is a great local brewery in a charming old firehouse. The staff is very friendly. I highly recommend it.

Cool, renovated, fire station turned into a brewery! Beers were great too, particularly the IPA's.

Been wanting to try this brewery for a while so glad we made it! Such a nice place the inside atmosphere is great! Had a flight and everything was tasty, the bartenders were very Very friendly. Will definitely return! I love coming to places like this where you can tell the owners actually care and take pride ! read more

The sour beers are always worth a round or two as well, especially in the summer. Cheers! read more
