A pioneering North Fork craft beverage destination has officially entered a new chapter. Jamesport Farm Brewery, established in 2017 as Long Island’s inaugural designated farm brewery, is now under the stewardship of fifth-generation agriculturalists Kirk and Joe Weiss alongside business partner Nick Giuffre. Building upon their established work at Long Island Farm Brewery and Waterdrinker Family Farms, the new leadership team brings deep farming lineage and specialized brewing expertise to the 40-acre Sound Avenue property.
Operating in accordance with New York State farm brewing standards, the craft house prioritizes state-grown agricultural inputs across its draft lineup, utilizing hops harvested directly from its on-site trellis yard and regional agricultural partners. Under head brewer Brian Smith, the brewhouse delivers an evolving rotation of distinct small-batch beers—including popular staples like The Windmill pilsner, North Fork Blonde, and North Fork Wheat—alongside local wines, ciders, seasonal wet-hop releases, and upcoming 32-ounce crowler fills.
The updated venue experience introduces several guest-focused operational changes, including extended weekday evening hours, daily food truck service, free admission for weekend acoustic music sets, and a welcoming policy for families and dogs. Visitors can explore the front educational hop garden, enjoy first-come, first-served outdoor seating, and participate in community vendor pop-ups celebrating local artisans and regional food producers.
