Stephen Pominski, Jr., owner and brewmaster of Barrage Brewing Company, has always loved beer. With his wife Diana’s support, he started with two taps in a family room-turned-bar that had once been their garage. Now, Barrage Brewing has 27 different beers as he continues to expand his research and his repertoire, testing different recipes with hops and yeasts and other key ingredients, some locally sourced, others from around the world. The creations speak for themselves with intriguing names like Insane Ale (a pilsner), Devil’s Whisper (a porter blended with cappuccino and tiramisu milk), Assault N Fudgery (a salted caramel and fudge porter), One Ryed Monkey (a rye IPA) and Yada Yada Yada (a brown ale). You get the idea. There’s a lot of love, great craftsmanship, and good humor to be had at Barrage Brewing! It’s no wonder why Long Islanders voted it the Best Craft Beer Brewery on Long Island!
