Klein moved the brewery to a different industrial park in Oceanside in 2012, setting up a 5-barrel system. Just a few months after opening, the brewery was flooded by four feet of water during Superstorm Sandy and sustained $100,000 of damage. With tremendous support from other Long Island breweries and the local community, Barrier came back even stronger and expanded to a 20-barrel system.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In addition to its focus on popular IPAs, including the flagship Money, Lomax and Daddy Warbucks double IPA, Barrier brews a wide variety of beer styles, ranging from crisp pilsners to German-style Kolsch and hefeweizen to strong Belgian ales and hearty stouts and porters. Seasonal beers include Oktoberfest and The Carver pumpkin ale in the fall and Cryomax IPA in the winter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The new Barrier Brewing Co. taproom in Long Beach is the perfect spot for brew lovers.<\/p>\n
The Long Beach taproom is family-friendly and dog-friendly, and occupies 1,500 square feet on the ground floor of a new apartment building. The airy space has tables for large groups in front, a small lounge in the rear and a long bar featuring 20 taps. The taps feature 8 of Barrier\u2019s signature beers along with 8-10 rotating seasonal and small-batch brews, ciders and wine. The taproom also has a large selection of Barrier\u2019s beers in 6-packs and 4-packs available to have on premises or for takeaway.<\/p>\n
Licensed as a New York State Farm Brewery, Barrier serves a variety of New York wines and spirits, mostly from Long Island. Currently, the taproom features North Fork wineries, including Peconic Bay Vineyards, Pelligrini Vineyards, Pugliese Vineyards, and Wolffer Estate.<\/p>\n
Spirits from local distilleries such as The Better Man Distilling Co. in Patchogue, Twisted Cow Distillery in Northport, and Kings County Distillery in Brooklyn are available straight or in cocktails, including the refreshing boardwalk punch, made with Better Man Bourbon and the Nitro Express espresso martini, made with LIV Vodka.<\/p>\n
Small pizzas and pretzel bites are available at the taproom, but patrons are also encouraged to bring in or order in food from nearby restaurants, including some just steps away like Yummy Yummy Asian Bistro, LB Bistro, Francesca\u2019s Pizza, Nagahama Sushi and Margarita\u2019s Cafe.\u00a0 The taproom is open seven days a week and plans to eventually hold weekly events similar to Barrier\u2019s Oceanside taproom such as trivia night and open mic night.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe look forward to being a part of the Long Beach community on the barrier island,\u201d said Klein, \u201cwhile giving beer lovers here a chance to try new Barrier beers.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
