Tonight: Sandy Relief Beer Release Party at 61 Local, Plus The Eight Best Beers from Long Island

Hellsmoke Porter, Blind Bat Brewing
From the biggest brewery on this list, and now to the smallest: Blind Bat Brewing is a tiny operation run out of Centerport, Long Island, and specializing in “wood-smoked and other odd rustic ales.” For the dark, rich, Hellsmoke Porter, founder Paul Dlugokencky smokes some of the grains over alder and applewood, adding a flavor that sits nicely along side hints of chocolate and coffee.
