Greenport Harbor Brewing Co.

I love coming to the brewery best deal in Greenport… I hardly go out any more but whenever fellow mole men are in town… this has become our spot

The Greenport Harbor Brewing Co. should be renamed the Greenport Harbor Brewing Co. Tasting Room. I don’t think they make the actual beer at this small location but its a great place to buy a sampler or a pint.
You walk upstairs to a small loft where you can sit and sample the various beers. The cool part is, I drink this brand of beer. They have seasonal flavors like Summer Ale, Pith n Peel, Harbor Ale (my favorite year round), Black Duck Porter and during the fall they offer Leaf Pile Pumpkin Ale.
I like coming here on the weekend with friends, drink a pint or two upstairs and just kick back in peaceful Greenport.
This past weekend we were with friends, the husband puts up with beer but likes to drink a good Scotch. Here’s the great thing about Greenpoint Brewing, they have OUTRAGIOUS seasonal beers. I started with a Spring Turning Rye Saison beer. It’s made with spicy Saison Yeast, Rye Malt, Pilsner and Vienna Malts, Saaz and Golding Hops. That’s a lotta things happening but the end result? Man… That’s a beer I could call baby girl. My scotch drinking buddy, I bought him a pint of Black Duck Porter which he was totally vibin’ on the dark beer.
The Greenport Harbor Brewing Co is the pride of Long Island, always buy/​drink local!

I’m a craft beer guy, so when someone says «wanna drive out to greenport?» My eyes glaze over in the bubbly yellow hopped tint. My mouth gets dry and all I can think of is getting my hands on some black duck, or hopnami.
I can tell you this is one of my favorite breweries on the island but I think I should pair that with saying they really are one of the best! They don’t make a bad beer, the experiment with some things here and there and the beer is just outrageous. The guys are really just great, fun guys, so make it a point to go to their events and events they attend as you’ll want to hang around sippin suds.
If this location is too far hit the Peconic location you’ll just miss out on the great town feel and the experience of drinking in the old firehouse next to the still standing jail (inoperable and by town rules still locked up and inaccessible)
It’s a great pit-​stop I never miss when I’m in town.
It’s always a bit hot up there but they show some artists work here and there and have a super friendly and dare I say cute bar staff.
Worth the visit for sure.

Enjoyed several of their IPAs in this second floor tasting room. Sun streaming nicely through their windows around 6 pm. Wish they had a little more seating. Six packs and growler refills to go. Right next to the tiny historic jail!

So we were on our way to Greenport and mistakenly thought they had food based on the Peconic location Unilocal listing but were sad to find out they didn’t when we got there. Oh well! We figured beer would soothe our hunger for awhile so we shared a flight. This is the first brewery I’ve been to where they didn’t serve the flight all at once. The bartender served us one at a time. Was a little odd! But the beers were good and the place was pretty much empty so it wasn’t like we had any wait time. Also weird, they had some random benches in the middle of the room but no tables and no stools at the bar. Almost like they don’t want you to sit and stay? Maybe because it’s a seasonal town it gets nuts during the warm months so they want to deter people from taking up space all day.
The beers were all really good and we tried one that wasn’t on the flight list and the bartender gave it to us for free instead of charging us for the extra tasting which was really nice of him.

My husband and I stopped in last night right around 7:45 p.m. on the way back to our b&b from dinner. We were informed that because of the time we wouldn’t be able to do a flight but if we wanted to buy a glass, we could do that. So we each had a pint, the $ 8 glass that we could keep. We also bought the really adorable bottle opener that was shaped like a whale for $ 9. We just checked out the art that they had excited right now while enjoying our beers before we left. I’m assuming since it was off season and right before closing we got a rare chill environment to drink which we really enjoyed. I would definitely love to come back in the summer.

My friends and I visited the tasting room on a Saturday early afternoon — right when the brewery open. This was the original brewery and they have another locations with a tasting room & outdoor space. Both locations are dog-​friendly.
We enjoyed being the first group there and settled ourselves nicely with the chairs and table. I would recommend more seating availability for customers as we did feel bad taking all the chairs and tables when more people arrived.
The options were great. We got mostly the tasting for $ 8 for 6 beers (where you keep your glass) and the $ 8 pint where you can refill for $ 6 for a full pint (and keep your glassware). Our favorites were the Otherside IPA and the Hopnami.

I was at the wineries all day and this place was a much needed breath of fresh air. From IPA to porter their beers are delicious. For eats, the poutin I had paired very well with the brews as well. I was pretty much a pig in sh*t with my beer and poutin while listening to the local live country music band in house. Highly recommend to anyone in the area looking for a delicious roadstop oasis.

Great beers. A must try is their seasonal Leafpile beer. Has a flavors of cinnamon and nutmeg in it.

This brewery is hiding in the «cubby hole» street at the end of front street. Don’t be fooled by the boats, etc its righy located next to the old Greenport jail which is now a museum. The tasting room is small but open and well lit. The beer flight was only $ 8 and you get 4 – 6, 4oz fills of the beers on tap. A pint is $ 8 with a free souvenir glass (yes, the one you are drinking from). I tried everything in under 10 minutes, with some to my liking and others were not. But what it’s worth they were friendly and efficient. Try the one that has the espresso and cocoa notes, it’s weird and tasty. The pumpkin like brew is pretty good too. I was a bit sad the kölsch-​like brew was all gone, that has to be tasty.

A must stop when visiting Greenport. For eight dollars you can taste all six varieties of their beer. We really enjoyed the summer ale. The beer is now being carried in some of the supermarkets and some of the local establishments. There is nothing like getting the beer directly from the top at the brewery.

This brewery isn’t known for its appearance… It has great history in this building that once was a fire station and right next to the old Jail! The beer selection was quite good with a couple of outstanding brews! The porter was thick and rich and full flavor! Their Chinook Red was hands down the best to me! It had a wide range of favor and we even grabbed a growler of this!
The artist who designed their packaging is a local and his designs are creative and beautiful!

Cute brewery! $ 8 for 6 flights. Nice staff, dog friendly which is always a plus! You get to keep the glass with the flight as well.

It’s not a very large place, but it’s a very fun atmosphere! I am not a big beer drinker, but the Spring Turning Rye Saison was amazing.
It’s also dog friendly, so lots of puppies running around– which in my opinion is a plus.

One of the nicer tasting rooms on Long Island albeit a bit small still worth it. The beer is top notch here. The Black Duck Porter is a classic favorite of mine. Totally cool atmosphere in a renovated firehouse.

The tasting room is the top floor of a converted firehouse, which is super cool. I wish that we could have toured the facility… but alas, no offerings on that score. GHBC was absolutely mobbed with people, so much so that it was hard to find any open seating. The place is very spartan, with weird conjoined seating that was a bit of an excuse for people to take up more space than was needed.
I had their summer pilsner, which was light and refreshing (exactly what I wanted as it was very hot that day). My friend had the harbor ale, which was also pretty tasty. I really liked the copious amounts of pretzels available on the counter, which was a welcome alternative to getting sloshed. Solid place to visit on a weekend for a pint.

We went to their tasting room during a Friday happy hour and had a blast. For only 8 dollars you get to sample 6 – 7 different types of their beer and take home the pint glass. It was a very lively crowd and the people who work there were extremely friendly and well informed about all of the different beers being served.
My favorite offering was the French Farmhouse Style Ale. I could drink that stuff all day long, although I must say that all of the beer was very tasty. You can even purchase growlers on the way out.
This is a perfect place to spend a lazy summer afternoon. The downtown area also has some great shops, art galleries and restaurants.
I can’t wait to go back!

I live in Southern California, not far from San Diego county, a region widely regarded as the epicenter of craft brewing in the U.S., if not in the world. And Greenport Harbor Brewing Company is one of my very favorite breweries! I don’t get out here often, but we have a family house in the area and I make a point of visiting every time I’m back east.
First, the price: the value for your money is AMAZING. At least as of the last time I visited, Greenpoint Harbor wasn’t selling individual tasters. But they do sell you a pint glass for $ 8, which includes tastings of ALL of the beers they have on tap that day (and the glass to take home.) I’m talking very generous pours (at least 3 — 4 oz, if not more, depending on who is pouring) of six or seven beers, including some high ABV beers (~9%). I’ve never seen such awesome tasting prices at ANY craft brewery in California.
Try getting tipsy for $ 8 at a North Fork winery. It can’t be done. At Greenpoint Harbor? Piece of cake!
But lest you think this place is great only because of the price: the beer is really excellent, and worth savoring. They have a couple of staples that are available all of the time, like a Black Duck, a tasty, smooth porter, and Harbor Pale, a drinkable, non-​intimidating American pale ale (a great session beer, not a monster IPA like you get in CA.)
Otherwise, their selection changes frequently. I remember enjoying their pumpkin spice ale, the «Anti-​Freeze» (a very sweet, almost barleywine flavor.) But — and here’s the amazing part — I’ve never tried a beer here that I didn’t like. They experiment with different varieties, but they don’t get too weird, and the experiments all turn out well!
They sell small and large growlers. I think they may also sell beers by the pint now, but I’m not certain. Pretzels are always out as a bar snack, and there’s tap water available. There are not many seats, and the space is rather small, so it gets crowded on weekends and in the summer. Be prepared to stand by the bar if you go at a busy time.
In conclusion: if you live on or are headed out to the east end of the North Fork for whatever reason (wine tasting, perhaps), GO to Greenport Harbor Brewing!
Unless you’re loud, annoying drunk kids on a party bus. In that case, please keep away!

This is by far my favorite Long Island brewery out of all of em. It’s gotta be something in the water I’m thinking?
A couple of outstanding brews, in my opinion, is their Leaf Pile and Summer Ales. Both blow my mind and taste buds away for sure. Summer Ale in particular is balanced so well that every single tasting note rings off like a perfectly tuned xylophone. Over the top description you’re thinking? Get your hands around a cold point of it (if you can find it) and get back to me!
Truly a hidden gem tucked hidden away on LI’s North Fork and I hope it stays that way, although, on my last visit, they told me they are opening up another tasting room in Riverhead somewhere. Oh well.
Highly recommend getting your butt down to Greenport and treat yourself to an extraordinary and enlightening tasting experience.
Perfection in every way!

$ 8 I got a glass… and 6 tastings that were anywhere from 4 – 6 ounces each. DO I NEED TO SAY MORE?
this place was so worth it. And that is coming from someone who does not ever drink beer or really like it. Now I did not like every beer I tasted but I will not hold this place responsible, I am just not a beer drinker. However the prices was so worth it!
We had a great time just hanging around the upstairs getting samples and chatting away. Such a great experience and way to start our visit to the east end.
We can not wait to take friends back here!
