Went with our puppy just for a nice afternoon. The beers were good we had love at first bite, schmoopy, hand of doom, cosmic Cali and their peanut butter stout. Bartender was great; friendly and efficient. It is small and cozy inside but we were able to find a table with no issue and keep puppy next to us without bothering anyone. Overall a nice experience and would go back again! read more

Picked up some pumpkin beer from here. It's a little small inside, but there's also outdoor seating available. I waited a little bit for someone to help me with my pick up order, but it was smooth sailing after that. The pumpkin beer was tasty! I would come back here with some friends to hang and enjoy some beers, but would have to come early to get a table. read more

Delicious beer! Many choices. Chill atmosphere. You could tell many locals support this company. Service was welcoming. I walked in and was greeted with a smile and a willing to serve. Bags of snacks are a great idea. I bought 4 of those myself, along with a delicious pumpkin ale. I will be back again! read more

Here we go again, More beer and more good times! Sat at the bar with Frank who is very funny. He knows his beer and will point you in the right direction if you don't know what you want. We had great time with him. As soon as my glass was empty it was full again. The beer is so good here. High quality, very flavorful and the great percentages. Definitely stop in and visit! read more

Spider bite is a newer to the scene brewery when looking at our beer landscape here on the island, that being said, they've been around longer than just their tasting room; yesterday's party over in the industrial park marked their 5th anniversary. I know a lot of people who love this beer and a lot who aren't too impressed, it's just one of those things. For the anniversary they had a few collaboration beers with the likes of barrage, dubco, and brick house, all 3 were fantastic. The much anticipated chocolate cherry stout was gone fast, it was my first pour of the day but man was it god awful. Some people though, thought it was just what the doctor ordered... I feel similarly in that it was an incredibly medicinal cherry- thankfully though it was the only bad beer of the day. Anniversary pours- *2012 Boris after warming up was fantastic and bested the 2011. * Li to me was the colas with brick house, if you missed it, make damn sure you grab it this upcoming week in patchogue! * the colab with barrage was a bock and I'm sorry that it's in such short supply, good luck trying this one-off while a few drops are still left * I forget what the dub I colas was but I know it was good * cran it in your mouth - yummy but even better mixed with the 2012 Boris * raspberry quake - 9.4% and amazingly easy to drink * peach whatever was absolutely delightful, that was my second pour and I believe I had it again 6 pours later * the rye barleywine was outstanding as well The list goes on and in and on and I'm happy spider bite is around for sure. read more

Fear of spiders? Love of beer? Well, you'll only find one of those two things at Spider Bite Brewery, and rest assured, it's the latter of the two. This past Thursday marked my second trip into this web of brews and boy was it a tasty one. That first trip was way back in May of 2015 when I sampled some stellar suds and have been longing to return ever since. The influx of awesome breweries (including neighboring 1940's) made this an overdue return destination, and a first time for my duo of chums accompanying me. When you approach SBB, you'll understand why the name works as its tap room is as small as an arachnid. Some counter space and a couple of two-chaired high tops makes up the area. Size laid the caveat egg that knocked this review down to four stars, but more on that in a bit. First the beer! We purchased a Groupon to give us a little extra added beer love/save a couple bucks. It consisted of two flights, a 32oz growler with fill, and $10 to spend on merch. Thanks, Spidey. This worked for myself and one of my buddies while the third grabbed a pint. Nine beers total on tap. I went with 2nd Bite IPA, Doppel Dunkel Weizenbock, Melba's Toasted Brown Ale, and Cran it in Your Mouth. That's one thing you can say about Spider Bite: They know how to name their beers! All four were great in flavor and mouthfeel with Cran being my favorite from its fruity, crisp taste. Unfortunately no growler fills of that so I went with my next fav in the Weizenbock. 2nd Bite had a subtle hop kick and Melba's was mildly creamy yet tangy on the pallet. It was a flight that Spiderman would've approved. The star loss? That darn size. I can't fault the brewers/owners on space, but when we arrived no one was there besides said co-owner and what may have been his wife working on her laptop. It felt as though we were intruding because we were basically all sharing the same tiny web of space. There was no convo either beyond our beer purchase which upped the awkward aroma in the air. The beer still triumphed which is what matters most to us beer brethren. Overall, Spider Bite may not be large, but who wants a giant eight-legged brewery anyway? Local craft beer can often be tiny in production and for the most part I can respect the size of Spider Bite as they concoct some fabulous beer. A semi-larger space would help cram (or cran?) more spider lovers in, but for now, I'll return to this spot, hopefully in a smaller gap of time than my first two visits. read more

I've been bitten! I had Spider Bite Brewing bookmarked for a long time. 1- Grew up in Holbrook, Go Sachem! 2- I have to support *two* breweries in my hometown I've been reading online, Spider Bite Brewing is heavy with IPA brews. I am not a fan of hoppy beer, The offerings today were almost all IPAs and a dark beer. I wasn't feeling anything so I tried the least hoppy beer, the Fundur . The Fundur is a draught only Session IPA. It pours a gold color, kinda like a pilsner. Not too shabby. The place is set up for fun, it has a small sitting area and it was packed with local folks enjoying Spider Bite Brews. I'm a fan and I'm glad there are more local businesses opening in my beloved Holbrook. Come on down and get bit! Buy a growler and support a local, Long Island business. read more

Great selection of beers. Cool place to hang out and relax. They do have food trucks on some days. Dog friendly is a plus !!!!

My husband and I visited over the Memorial day weekend. I'm not much of a beer drinker but my husband is and he liked most of the selections and did appreciate the alcohol content listed on the menu. It's good to note since alot of the selections contain high octane choices. An array of flavors and tastes were found here. He liked the lager type brews I was more partial towards the stout type beers and porters. Definitely worth the trip from Queens and would visit again. The atmosphere is very laid back and chill. Even got to see a dog! read more

Loved checking this place out as it was local. We had a Groupon which included flights for two people, a take home growler and merchandise credit. What a great deal! The place wasn't too large but there was plenty of seating. There was a decent amount of people there. The bartender was friendly and the overall vibe was really great. Beers were good, just a nice fun place to hang out at! read more

Spider Bite Beer Co - Flight $8 - Breweries Near Me - Holbrook, New York

So Spider Bite just opened last week and I managed to make it here twice, I couldn't get enough! The tasting room is on the smaller side, but honestly...if you frequent different tasting rooms you'll find that this one is big enough and even has some stools to sit! They have 8 beers on tap (get it? spider? 8 legs?) which are all really good! If you're a fan of IPA's then this is a place to visit as most of their beers are that style. The Eye Be Use (9.2%) and the Eight Legged IPA (7ish%) ranked amoung my top. Hours as of now are Thursday & Friday 4pm-8pm, Saturday & Sunday 12pm-4pm. The owners are super nice and they've also been tending the bar! Can't wait to visit this week! read more

Real down to earth people. Service with a smile always looking to please. Great brews always introducing new ones. Great for a group gathering or a few. You will probably see them at many different craft new events but stopping by the home base is a must! New website www.spiderbitebeer.com keeps you updated with new taps and events. You can also keep in touch via their Facebook page. read more

Some beerhead friends were visiting this past weekend, so we decided to pop in Spider Bite to check out their brews."Love at First Bite" was oddly enjoyable for me, considering that I don't often enjoy a dark brew. It came at the recommendation of the server whom overheard me saying just that. It's very small and its in an industrial area of holbrook, just down the block from Cooky's deli. We enjoyed the beers and had fun. What more can you ask for? I'd recommend to anyone trekking out this way to maybe plan your day with a few other stops or perhaps dinner locally. read more

Stopped in for flights with some friends on New Year's Eve. We all really enjoyed everything we tried and I regret that I left empty handed! As others have said, the tasting room is small but don't let that deter you! EDIT: Tasting room was expanded in February and is now twice the size! read more

Spider Bite Beer Co - Girls Pint Out meet up - Breweries Near Me - Holbrook, New York

Amazing!!! First and definitely not the last time trying Spider Bite beers. First, the customer service is nothing short of stellar. We placed an order mistakenly thinking it would arrive the same day. When we called the brewery to check the status and they found out we were expecting the beer, he personally got into his own car and drove it out to our house and included a pint glass. That alone would make me a returning customer, but the beers themselves are excellent as well! I'm a stout and porter fan, and the Love at First Bite porter I am having now is super tasty. My dad who is an avid beer drinker is having the Curbside Watch Your Step IPA and says it's very flavorful, juicy and hazy. Hubs is enjoying it too. I had never heard of this place before and so glad we discovered it. Highly recommend! read more

I was really looking forward to this spot, and was a little disappointed. There were a lot of IPAs on tap that were all pretty average, but I really enjoyed their dark beers (should have more on tap). I hate that the flights had plastic cups (always a pet peeve of mine). Boris the spider is one of my favorites from them, and overbite is pretty interesting black IPA. They have a very small tap room, but it still had a homier, drinking out of my garage feel to it. Boris the spider is an extremely odd song by the who, I wonder if that is at all related to the beer? read more

Came here last night for a beer & cheese pairing with Slates & Plates and really enjoyed myself! The beers were all very different from one another, and all had a really good depth of flavor. They have a raspberry quake that I could drink endlessly (and I'm not a huge beer fan!). The owner was really nice and knowledgeable, and the cheeses were all really delicious. The owners of Slates & Plates were super nice, and the event was a really good time! Many compliments to both! read more

I had a private event at this brewery. It was my daughter's baptism party. I wanted to do something a little different instead of the typical sit down dinner. I contacted at least 6-7 breweries, they either didn't get back to me (which was the case 95% of the time), were very expensive or they wouldn't close the brewery to the public which i really wanted. Then i stumbled upon Spider bite and it worked out better than i could imagine. Larry always got back to my emails within minutes. Any time i had a question it was answered immediately. They closed the brewery to the public so we got the whole place to ourselves, you couldn't beat the price, the staff was amazing... they helped us set up everything and helped us clean up. I can't say enough good things about this place. Book your party here, you won't be disappointed. Thanks for the great party!! read more

Terrific spot, friendly owners and our favorite on today's beer trail!!! Great bar with tables for groups. It's a must see place. read more

What a nice find! Tuck away in an industrial park, this small brewery had several delicious beers we enjoyed! There were many beers to try which included their regular line up and a few seasonal brews. They don't have any food (except bags of chips which were clutch), so be prepared to eat before or after. Enjoy! read more

One of the better breweries I've been too. Great tasting area. Great selection of IPA's. Second bite IPA was my favorite. That liquid got the right stuff read more

Fresh and deliciously brewed beer at a reasonable price. Relaxed and cozy atmosphere. Friendly and welcoming staff. A wide variety of beers not just IPAs. They had a Saison the last time I was there and it was delicious. Queen Melba (imperial brown ale) and Boris the Spider (Stout) are my favorites Also, check out the can art while you're there. You can also take crowlers to go. You won't be disappointed. read more

Loving this new spot for after work brews!It's tucked away in sort of an industrial area so it's slightly hidden. My one gripe is that the pints they're pouring, are slightly less than actual pints. Blame the Irish in me for being bothered by that. 8 diverse beers on tap; mostly IPAs, but I have to say I love their silk spinner, as well as their Melba toast brown ale. The tasting room is small, but for now it's a non-issue as it's brand new. read more

I am not a big beer guy. I consider myself a snob with alcohol and really do not like drinking. there i admit it. I went here after work to attend a function. Now, the space is small, but the beer is really good. From me this is saying something. The only other beer i am really known to drink at all is Magic Hat No 9. So yes. it is good. I liked the Spider Bite First Bite beer and the toasted wheat one. I highly recommend a quick stop off. Don't let the fact they are run by a former funeral director scare you! The only thing they do to your body here is fill it with good beer. read more

The tiny tasting room has expanded offering more seating in an area that was previously the loading area for the brewery proper effectively doubling the amount of belly-up space for craft beer fiends. The expanded area also boasts a new projector TV. This will make it great for sports and UFC events though I doubt it will replace a true "sports bar". Maybe Movie Night? (We can all wear our feety pajamas and braid each other's hair!) The rest of the new area is still somewhat sparse with improvements forthcoming. But there is, I must say, a dart board now which makes me giddy as a school girl (because what goes better with drinking high octane brews than throwing sharp, pointed objects?) But I digress. Hung on slow nights, it's a fun diversion. Larry's beers remain on point and by "on point", I mean, "high in alcohol". He and I are cut from the same drinking cloth. All of his beers clock in over 6% with BORIS The Spider (his imperial stout) weighing in around the 10% mark. Fundur is his lightest; a pale ale, still stronger on the hops, and only around 4.7%. Perfect for you tea-totalers. All of Larry's brews are thoughtfully created with strong attention to flavor. Seasonal releases and collab beers often pop-up without much fanfare so make sure to follow their Facebook page to stay current. Food trucks usually there on the weekends. Come on down and see for yourself. I'll even let you win at a game of darts. (No.) read more

One of the best local breweries in my opinion. Not only is the beer delicious, they treat you so nice when you come in and make you feel welcome. Also the pricing is incredible read more

Nice to see a local business doing well. My boyfriend and were coming back from Riverhead and weren't yet ready to go home, so while in the car, I browsed for things nearby. We found this was on the way home, with a newly opened tasting room, so visit we did. It's a small place, where it seems that family and friends of the brewers can gather (jealous). The tastings were reasonably priced. We each did a flight of 4 so we could try them all. Some were a bit too dark and sour for me, but it was awesome getting to try them all at a nice sample size, just for that reason. And each one was unique and tasted as though there was effort and care dedicated to the brews, rather than when a craft brewery just tries to spit out whatever they can (remember people, its about quality not quantity). I bought a sweet etched glass and a women's tee. Both great quality. If you're in the area, check it out. read more

I came in a few days ago for game night, which was excellent and deserves its own review. The brewery is a small space in an industrial part of town, and it was a great find. Very homey and welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff, friendly patrons, and a fairly clean bathroom. And excellent beer! Theres no food on premises, but they had a food truck outside for game night. I kind of wish I had brought a crowler of Queen Melba home with me but I realistically can't drink that much beer. Guess I'll be going back. read more

When I found out this place was opened and couldn't wait to check it out ! We decided to split a tasting then we each got a pint. I myself am not a fan of IPA's but my husband is so he was a very happy camper. Their melba toast brown ale is something special. I practically had to pry it out of my husbands hands after I gave him a sip of my pint. We'll definitely be returning to get a growler of that filled this weekend ! Tasting room is on the small side but it's nice. The owners were there & they were very friendly. There was also merchandise for sale. Tee shirts, growlers, half growlers, coasters, pint glasses etc... The place is brand new, but my only suggestion would be for them to put up some speakers for background music in the future. When we were there, the TV was on in the tasting room playing what looked like an old AC/DC concert but with little or no volume. There were about 5 other people there besides us and & because it's so small inside everyone was speaking in that awkward "I have to whisper my every word so I don't sound like the loud one and everyone can hear me voice". Not a complaint by any means, just a suggestion. All in all we enjoyed ourselves & looking forward to returning this weekend. read more

Good thing in a small package...yes, it's in an industrial strip center, yes, the tasting room is small, yes, the beer is out of this world!!! The staff is very knowledgeable on their product, they have a cozy environment where the beer is served and growlers to go (both big and small)...I love the small micro breweries, and this one is at the top of the list. read more

Been wanting to try this brewery for awhile. Finally got a chance to come in and I'm glad I did. The tender was very friendly alone with the other patrons who were there. Friendly conversation over a cold beer is always a plus. The product was very good. Love a brewery who puts out quality stuff. They had a projector playing some music and a garage door which opens up to make the place feel airy and bigger than what it actually is. Will be back soon read more

Went there today for the first time. Really small tasting room. Bartender was super friendly. Flight of 4 beers for $8. All the beers were delicious! We'll definitely be back! read more

So, I came across their imperial stout at total wine and spirits. Thank you for all the beer breweries I've visited due to distributing their beers to totals wine and spirits. I've been to so many breweries that WILL NOT distribute their beers. I don't get it. They always tell me, we're good here amongst the locals. Idk. Holbrook is 45 min from me and now I'm a new fan fan of spider bite brew co. Delicious imperial stout. The can says brewed in Ipswich mass. But luckily the brewery is in Holbrook NY. Did they move? Not sure. Just happy I can visit their brewery. Thanks, spider bite! read more

If and when you can find it, spider bite is a great place. I only say this because the tasting room is in a really indusial area and very small. but once you find it, its a pretty good treat. when I went they had a lot of ipa's on tap and although im not a huge ipa fan the eight legged spider was delicious. perfect place of a after work beer. read more

Got a Groupon. Used it for the tasting. Very cheap day out for something g to do. A lot of real beers there. Not the flavored beers you typically get at some of the other breweries around here. Got tasting for 4, 2 growler filled and 4 glasses for under $20. Well worth the purchase read more

I discovered this place a few months ago and it has now become my favorite microbrewery, a great selection of delicious and robust beers, friendly and helpful staff, and an authentic brewery feel. I highly recommend this place for any craft beer enthusiast read more

Found out Spider Bite was open so I decided to stop in for a tasting. My girlfriend and I got flights so we could try all 8 beers they offered. Although I wasn't a fan of some, most of the beers were excellent. The lady behind the bar was very sweet and I ended up buying a t-shirt (good quality). read more
