This new spot certainly was a surprise! In an area where gourmet food is few and far between. .Pine Island Brewing Company brings it’s A Game to such comforts as 4 cheese mac and cheese and braised short ribs with mashed potatoes and veg. Tried the pulled pork egg rolls. they were fried to crisp and topped with sour cream and tomatos.delicious. Surprisingly the best thing I tried was the sweet onion salad. It was a simple blend of mesclun, tomatoes and cucumber. .but the dressing was divine. Creamy. .obviously home made. I would come back just for that alone. Definitely will come back for seconds… the menu sounds amazing from soups to main courses. Welcome to the neighborhood!

Opened up October 2015, this brewery is located in the old town firehouse. The atmosphere in the place is really cool. The bar tops are made from refinished wood found in an old local barn. After meeting the owner, Mike I believe, he explained his brewing methods, how he got started, and his favorite beers. He really knows his stuff. Cool guy to talk to, as well. But all that stuff has no effect on the reason why you should come to this brewery: THEBEER. They have 5 – 6 beers on tap right now. I first got a flight just to try all of them. I had never had a Scottish Ale before, so I didn’t really know exactly what to expect. It was so smooth, great taste, and so drinkable. I can’t wait to see this beer bottled in the future, it’s really going to fly off the shelves. They have a great IPA, which is 7.9% ABV(or so), but you would never know it. A great beer to have with friends. They are pretty inexpensive too. A token system is used; one token is good for one beer. $ 5 for one token, or $ 20 for 5 tokens. Growlers are for sale too. I highly recommend this bar.
