Southampton Publick House
Tonight, my wife and I made the trek out east to the Southampton Publick House, one of the finer micro brewery/restaurants on Long Island. We were met by a group of friends with similar interests in good beer and a familiar Long Island setting.
In fact, out of the three couples that met together my wife and I had the least history with the place. The friends we met there had a rich history with the Publick House and many tales were told of the brewery, the town, and life on Long Island.
The beer was excellent and every pint I had was superb. I think I had 4–5 pints in all but “estimates” are all I can usually manage after 3 beers. I started off with a Southampton Secret Ale, then had a seasonal Abbey Blonde, then their awesome Imperial Stout, followed by their IPA. They have many more brews, even more than those listed here.
I brought home a few six packs, one of their Secret Ale and one of their IPA. The packaging looks like this:
I also got a growler of their seasonal abbey blonde and a large bottle of their Imperial Stout. You know, to keep me going through the Spring.
If you ever find yourself on Long Island, make the trip out to the East End and treat yourself to some of the best beer you can get in the region.
Here are some photos of the trip to Southampton the village, and the Publick House.
Oh, I had to get another picture of Cricket in there. Can you blame me?
