It also maintains a year-round non-alcoholic line consisting of N.A. IPA and N.A. Golden. Production is conventional craft brewing with no documented proprietary technology or AI/ML components.

The company operates a single flagship taproom, the Brew Barn, at 62 South Erie Avenue in Montauk, with a second location planned for Port Jefferson, NY. Distribution is conducted through Boening Bros. (Long Island) and S.K.I Beer (NYC metro and surrounding counties), reaching retail and hospitality accounts across the tri-state area. Additional revenue streams include an online merchandise storefront (apparel, accessories, gift certificates), private event hosting at the Brew Barn, and promotional placement at Tilray-owned BrewDog bars. The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tilray Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY), which provides portfolio-level distribution, brand, and operational support. Go-to-market combines direct-to-consumer taproom and e-commerce with regional wholesale distribution, targeting coastal lifestyle consumers, non-alcoholic beer drinkers, retail and hospitality buyers, and event hosts in the Long Island / NYC market.
