Visit Date: August 30, 2025…read more 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.

Great brewery! I recently did a little winery/brewery tour out east, and this was our first stop on…read morethe 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!

Fantastic brewery nestled right into Waterdrinker Farms!…read more We stopped here for some beers after the tulip festival and it was a great time. It was packed inside but it was spacious and still comfortable. However, it was a beautiful day outside so we decided to sit in the beer garden which has a ton of chairs, picnic tables, etc. They also had two food trucks on site (we got the pizza, which was delicious). While the outdoor bar isn't open for the season just yet, the indoor bar was fast when it came to service - even on a packed day. We never waited for a beer and they have tons of tap & go payment portals which make checking out easier. The guava gose was perfect on a beautiful day. Fruity yet tangy and easy to drink. They also sell soft drinks if you're sober or you had one too many beers. Welcoming environment. Great to visit even if you're not going to the farm.

Yeah I know we're still living in the Covid times, but grab that mask, squeeze on some sanitizer, and social distance your way over to Tradewinds Brewing in Riverhead. I did just that with my female counterpart a little more than a month ago. And that's why I'm flabbergasted! Tradewinds still has no posted reviews and that's a shame (because they're a pretty respectable brewery). Maybe it's the fact that many might not even realize that in a short chunk of time, Tradewinds morphed into existence from Crooked Ladder Brewing. It's the same spot and the same look, style, and feel, but don't expect the same beers. Well, don't expect the same employees either. I say that in a positive manner because when we strolled in the guy behind the bar was amazingly nice. Without asking, he explained everything on tap and even offered to open up a can of something not available via draft. The friendly interaction really set the mood for our brief time there, even if we were seated out on West Main Street at one of the tables setup along the sidewalk. Okay, beer time. No flights were available from what I gathered (at least at that time) plus I was the driver of the day so I went with just one pint. A few IPAs, a light lager, a hefeweizen, smoked maple stout, and one other (we'll get to him in a second) made up the menu. From the aforementioned employee's description of the beers, I went for HopShip, a New England style IPA with just enough subtle hoppy bite to work well on the palate and hit the proverbial spot on a warm September day. Honestly I might've skipped the review (perhaps like others?) if I had stopped at just this pint, but I did actually come with other drinkable thoughts in mind...that last beer I left out was actually Tradewinds' own pumpkin ale by the name of Incarnation. Instead of trying it there, I took the chance (which I don't normally don't) and bout a reasonably-priced four pack of this brew. Cans to go is always a plus, by the way. The next night, despite my own chagrin of saying I wouldn't drink anything pumpkin related until after Labor Day (it was two days prior), I popped a can and poured one out into a glass. Maybe my expectations were super high, but Incarnation didn't entirely hold the embodiment (pun intended) of a pumpkin beer I hoped for. Better than many basic ones, but not of the upper gourd echelon. I still have a few cans remaining to see if that changes. Time will tell. Overall, if I take the Untapped scores of the two beers I tried and average them out, I'd get a total that's close to four, and so that seems about right for Tradewinds on star total. I mean they have a lot of promise to be something spectacular. With a great location in the heart of Riverhead, super friendly staff, and a handful of beers that seem like they're trending in a decent direction, I'd say five stars is certainly (eventually) possible. Hopefully the word gets out (at least after this review) because I want to see someone else type up their opinion. Let's go Yelp fam. Drink up!

Very shocked that the only other review for Tradewins Is my fellow Yelper, Josh G…read more My friend and I were on a small self-guided tour of breweries in the area. Yelp actually brought us to Tradewins as other breweries in the area were closed for winter break. We looked Tradewins up and decided to go. We were greeted instantly by the beer-tender when we walked in. It's small inside, which does make it difficult with Covid, but it wasn't crowded so we were able to grab a table. We both went with a pumpkin beer. No cinnamon rim, but it was delicious and cold. Lots of beers on tap. Due to covid, chips are a must purchase. Also lots of 4 packs available for purchase with select varieties being BOGO. Bathroom was clean. Although this brewery is small, beer was delicious and service was great.

I was a little disappointed to learn they had no N/A beer options when I came in. I did get a decent hot dog though with some good chips and a pickle which was nice. I liked the atmosphere of this brewery. They had a band performing the band was pretty good. They were older, it was awesome to see some older people rocking it! The drummer looked like he was the oldest but he was kicking some @ss on those drums. The outside stone/patio area was really cool some pretty trees, some outdoor games. Visiting this brewery besides lack of N/A beer was a fun, peaceful and pleasant experience.

Feels like it's been far too long since the last time I reviewed a Long Island brewery (actually…read moreit's only been a month, but who's counting?). What really impresses me more than any beer writing is probably the last time I was actually blown away by a brewery. Luckily, I can tell you that Moriches Field Brewing Company has taken that honor. I visited with my fiancée and her family just last week with fantastic results. This relatively new brew spot revamped an old plane hanger and turned it into something special. The setup, decor of airplane pics, and logo all give homage to local aerial travel which creates a fun and unique vibe. It felt like a brewery which is perfect, though it didn't have a rowdy or loud feeling (and that was ideal). Some beer havens these days get a little too crowded (LIFB?), but on this midday Sunday time, the place was totally chill. What was also chill were the friendly employees and of course, the beer! One of the staff members behind the bar semi-helped me in going through a few brew choices as I attempted to figure out what I wanted for a flight (three 5oz pours). It was incredibly impressive to see their beer board with room for upwards of 15 beers. They only (I say that word loosely) had 11 on tap, but I mean that's often more than two or three microbreweries put together! Their guest taps of a Macari wine and a cider from the Best of LI award winning Po'Boy Brewery just added to the positives, especially when my mostly-non-beer-drinking soon-to-be in-laws (and wife) ordered that cider for themselves (and loved it!). For me, we'll get back to the beer. Of those 11 choices, I went with More Riches IPA, Festive Trickster (a festbier), and the Creamsicle Cream Ale. Tasting them in the opposite order I listed, Creamsicle was outstanding. It truly had a creamy consistency with wonderful orange and vanilla hints (I got a crowler of this before departing). But honestly I could've gotten a crowler of the other two as well. Festive Trickster had just the right zing of flavor from the yeast while More Riches had the perfect subtle hoppy bite while still finishing smooth. I was so tempted to get another flight of three to try their other potentially sensational suds, but alas, we had other plans on hand that day. All the more reason to return soon! Overall, there's really nothing negative I can say about Moriches Field Brewing Company (well, maybe just a note somewhere on flights and pricing perhaps?). They have a welcoming setup with friendly workers and (most importantly) a packed lineup of delicious beers. I can't wait until my next trip out there to load on the positives pics to this blown away-worthy five star write up.
