    Anyone ever been here? I was debating whether to add it to my list.

    I went there about 2-3 years ago when they first opened up. I found their beers to be just okay - obviously a lot could have changed since then. I would still go though because the view from their outside area is really nice/scenic.

    You could also hit up a few spots in Warwick which is about 10-15 minutes from Pine Island. Eddie's Roadhouse has an awesome tap list and there are two good bottle shops: Craft Beer Cellar and Beverage Plus2. All are within walking distance of each other.

    I've actually never been to Pine Island, but if you do end up going Quaker Creek Store right up the road makes killer sausages.

    It's a cool little spot...beers are hit and miss...the scotch ale, the stout, and Charlie's Pale are my personal choices. Glenmere in Florida is about a 10 minute ride...better beers, imo.

    Their beers are OK but I'd rank them very far behind Equilibrium and Rushing Duck for beer alone, and probably behind Glenmere too.

    Nice outdoor space in the back with a nice view of the black dirt region. Lots of kids often running around when the back is open, though. Definitely seems to be the most family-oriented brewery of those in the area.

    I've been there several times. It's located in a rural area, in an old firehouse, and the tasting room is low key but fun. There is also an outdoor tasting area with taps. The beers are decent. The Scottish Ale and Brown Ale are quite good. You could easily visit Pine Island in conjunction with either Equilibrium or Rushing Duck.
