The Greenport Harbor Brewing Company is located in a former firehouse, and next to the old town jail, co-owners John Liegey and Richard Vandenburgh retained much of the building's old charm. Five brews are now on tap, Harbor Ale: fruity and golden, India Pale Ale: bold with notes of caramel, Summer Ale: golden and infused with honey for a sweet finish, Black Duck Porter: a black ale with hints of cocoa and coffee and Leaf Pile: pumpkin pie in a glass. Pours available by the glass or take home a 2 liter "growler".

PHOTO BY DAVID KORCHINLooking for a taste of something different? Well, in the village of Baiting Hollow, located in a restored potato barn, is the home of LiV Vodka, Long Islands first true potato vodka distillery. Ranked as one of the top vodka's, along with Grey Goose and KettelOne, LiV (like five) has a taste all its own. Clean and crisp with a hint of citrus, an excellent vodka served straight up. Enjoy the large veranda, overlooking the 80 acre potato field once owned and farmed by Polish immigrants, and clink your glasses and toast, "na zdrowie"!
