Legacy of Port Jeff Brewery
Port Jeff Brewery opened in 2011. It operated a 7-barrel system, which produced 217 gallons of beer per batch (roughly 86 cases). The beer is then sold in kegs, cans, 22-ounce bottles, and special-release bottles across Long Island, New York City, and upstate New York.
The closure news deeply saddened the community; one of the fans wrote, “This makes me so sad. Me and my hubby used to visit back in the beginning of our craft beer journey. Sigh. This sucks.”
Another one shared, “The best part of Port Jeff won’t be the same without you guys. Will forever love all the memories!”
As Port Jeff Brewery wraps up its 15-year legacy at Port Jefferson, the community is left with heartfelt memories and connections. With this closure, New York loses another local gem.
