This week our hosts a drink the first 3 beers Mark procured from Fire Island Beer Co after a recent visit to the brewery. Also, Mark fucks up the opening…

Fire Island Beer Co.

25 Drexel Drive Bay Shore, New York 11706

The brewery was originally founded by two brothers and their cousin who homebrewed at their vacation house on Fire Island back in 2008. A little while later the founders sold the business to an import brand, Latis Imports, who brought in Simon Leonard to act as a consultant head brewer with production being handled under contract at Two Roads in CT. Sometime later Latis approached Simon with an offer to sell him Fire Island Beer and he jumped on the opportunity. Fire Island has now built their own brewery in the very same building as Great South Bay Brewery in Bay Shore with their tap room under construction for an opening later this year.
