I ordered the Voodoo Child, it was amazing! The beer was great, according to my hubby and friends. Mom had Jodie's Kiss The Sky, which was similar to mine with less sugar, which was great. The band was absolutely Outstanding! The Haymakers had everyone dancing the Lindy! My over 80 yo mom stayed past the first set and we all had an amazing time.

You have a great driver, Kevin, who is very knowledgeable, friendly, fun, and most of all patient to put up with all our drunken shenanigans during this past weekend's Yelp Beer Bus event. The bus itself is clean, comfortable, and has both a tv and dock for playing your Ipod's. It's a great way to get around and taste a lot of beer without having to worry about getting a DWI ! Kevin knows all the routes to some of the best local breweries, and is a big craft beer guy himself. They do many beer tasting events on LI and around the local NY area and have packages available for group trips, or shorter shuttles to the local brew tastings. Check out the website for upcoming beer events and rates. To me, it's totally worth the cost to enjoy a worry free, and safe day, rather than drinking and driving. We hit up Great South Bay, Long Ireland, and Port Jeff Brewing Company. That last stop in Port Jeff on a terrific spring day was just perfect to try some beers and then wander around the town for a bite to eat before heading back to the train station to drop us off. Kevin has a great little biz here that I wholeheartedly endorse. Also, between stops it pretty much became a beer fueled dance party bus with some moves going on that would put some strippers to shame! Yay beer!

Leave the driving to us...

Twin Stills is a family owned business with a cool history of how they got started. Their whiskey comes from an old Portuguese tradition of single small batch distillation. They have moonshine tastings, three for $9.00. Pick your flavors and enjoy! My favorite was the Apple Pie Moonshine, which we bought a couple bottles of. They also have a few whiskey's, vodka and brandy as well and if you want a full drink they have cocktails and beers too. Really a very cool spot on Long Island to have some quality moonshine. When we were there, a food truck was also parked out front, so on a nice day you can pull up a chair outside, grab some food and enjoy the best moonshine in the area, and some great customer service.

The distillery has inside and outside seating areas, the latter overlooking a potato field (hey, it's greenery on Long Island). Inside you have views of the distilling columns, and of course the wonderful staff. I'm not sure if they offer tours of the actual distilling area, but you get a good view of it nonetheless. They offer both tasting menus and cocktails made with their products, along with bottle sale and branded glassware. Support a local business on Long Island and pick up some excellent vodka. Check this place out.

It was a little cool and windy the day I went, but they have high-top tables outside which would be nice on a warmer day. They also had small fire pits to stay warm.

These proved light on brine and extra fresh. I found no errant shell pieces. The lemon arrived sleeved, and the mignonette was a smoky chipotle. The happy hour price point is almost criminally cheap here. Sunday also has the happy hour menu.

I was pretty intrigued to check out their tours, which is only $5 for NY residents. We stopped by on a Sunday, but it was quite dead. I was too embarrassed to even ask about the tour, so we just went upstairs to the bar for a drink. The space is very classy and beautiful though. There were a couple others, but it was very quiet and slow. We ordered the Tom Kha Tiki ($22) and Applewood Smoked Old Fashioned ($22). The drinks are fun with fire and smoke involved. Other than that, the drinks were nothing too special. I wanted to like this place so much more.

When a friend of mine, who like me also enjoys bourbon, suggested StillTheOne, I was excited to pay them a visit. That visit went in unexpected directions - not bad ones fortunately. Even though they have a small parking lot, you might not be able to find a spot. In that case, be prepared to park on a side street, possibly up to a few blocks away, and then be prepared to walk uphill a couple of blocks. The tasting area is very welcoming and cozy, with seats at a small bar, "bistro barrels," some long tables and at least one really comfy sofa. The owners are really knowledgeable and friendly. They're the type of people with whom I'd enjoy sitting down and having a conversation, if they weren't already busy running the place. This was a place where I was surprised that I wasn't fond of the bourbon. The whiskey and rye were more appealing to me. But the big surprise was the honey vodka. I've never been big on vodka or vodka cocktails, and I'd never had one I'd consider sipping. This one I would. Similarly, the gin was very interesting, and this would not be a gin I'd use for traditional cocktails, but would find other options. But this is still a really neat place to visit. Once you find which liquors and cocktails you like here, I could see spending a nice amount of time here with friends.

It's unbelievable good and really smooth. They also do karaoke nights and have food trucks on Saturday so it's just a cool place to spend some time with other friends and just enjoy an authentic distillery experience that's a short drive from some great at restaurants.

We were the only ones here right around closing time on a Sunday, but were welcomed in anyway and didn't feel like we were keeping anyone which is always nice. The distillery has plenty of cocktail options to choose from made from their signature liquors. The mango mojito here was refreshing and delicious, with just the right amount of mango puree. After spending the weekend getting soaked by drink prices in the Hamptons I was also happy to discover that prices here were incredibly reasonable. A standard mixed drink is $10, cocktails are around $14. Food here is the same as next door as the two share a parking lot with rotating food trucks -- our bartender let us know that in addition to the Greek food truck they also sometimes have a pizza truck that's apparently super good. Will have to come back!
