Watch: Long Ireland bottling first North Fork ‘local’ brew

Long Ireland Beer Company bottled the first 1,500 22-ounce bottles of its much-anticipated Wet Hopped Pale Ale on Wednesday.

Co-owner Dan Burke said the product will be for sale at the brewery and in select local stores by today, Friday.

The pale ale was made at the Pulaski Street brewery in Riverhead using fresh hops from Condzella Farms in Wading River, picked more than a month ago by the Long Ireland team.

The 22-ounce bottles are available in the brewery’s tasting room, as well as some Suffolk beer distributors.

The Wet Hopped Pale Ale is a limited release that will only be brewed once this year.
