From Montauk to Westhampton Beach, the South Fork’s brewery scene offers something for every beer drinker — from light lagers and crisp pilsners to bold IPAs and seasonal specialties. Here’s a quick look at the local spots pouring some of the East End’s best.
Montauk Brewing Co. — Montauk
A Hamptons staple since 2012, Montauk Brewing Co. remains a go-to for locals and visitors. Their red tasting room near Main Street features small-batch Barn Series releases, while their flagship cans continue expanding across the Northeast. It’s an easy, relaxed stop for a classic Hamptons beer experience.
Springs Brewery — East Hampton
Springs Brewery continues to grow its small-batch reputation with hop-forward, expressive releases. Production runs through übergeek Brewing Co., and cans can be found at several East End restaurants and markets. Catch them at local pop-ups as they work toward a future dedicated tasting room.
Kidd Squid Brewing Co. — Sag Harbor
Kidd Squid brings playful charm to its pastel-colored tasting room behind Main Street. As a New York State farm brewery, they emphasize local ingredients and offer beers, seltzers, cider, wine, and kombucha. Cozy, creative, and community-minded, it’s quickly become a Sag Harbor favorite.
Southampton Publick House — Southampton
A long-standing name in local craft beer, Southampton Publick House continues to distribute its award-winning classics across the East End. The Jobs Lane pub offers a full menu and familiar favorites, keeping its legacy alive even as production takes place off-site.
Westhampton Beach Brewing Co. — Westhampton Beach
Near Gabreski Airport, Westhampton Beach Brewing Co. offers a bright, spacious tasting room with a wide range of beers and casual bites like pizzas and pretzels. It’s a relaxed, family-friendly spot for flights, pints, and easy afternoons.
Shelter Island Craft Brewery — Shelter Island
Shelter Island Craft Brewery balances small-batch creativity with a laid-back vibe. With more than 30 beers in rotation — from tangerine IPAs to rich stouts — plus in-house food options, it’s a great stop once they reopen after their January break.
