Founded by Ethan Long and Marcus Burnett in 2012, Rockaway Brewing Co. earned the honor of Queens’ first brewery, but they don’t let that go to their heads. This graffitied mircobrewery is cozy, hip, and serves up laid back vibes with a side of reggae. Surfers Ethan and Marcus began homebrewing in their Far Rockaway backyards as a way to have fresh beer waiting for them after a long day of hitting the waves at the beach. And while Super Storm Sandy put their dream of a Rockaways location on hold, in 2016 they finally were able to open up that taproom in Arvene.
