The Flagship Brewing Company

Breast cancer fund raiser. Canny Brothers. Beer. Great night at Flagship Brewery!

Mike the bartender's the best!! He chatted with us on all manner of topic, from Staten Island tourism, Staten Island history, current politics smart funny guy. We live in Portland Oregon, where there's lots of good beer this place's beer was excellent and they were playing damn fine music the whole time we there.

We're tourists that stopped here and had a great time. We took the Staten Island ferry and walked down to this place and were pleasantly surprised. Flagship was a nice reprieve from the hustle and bustle of NYC. We sat right at the bar and we served great beer immediately. The bartender and local patrons even provided great trip recommendations. I'd highly recommend stopping here.

This is a rather nice brewery in Tompkinsville that walking distance from the Staten Island Ferry. I liked their Samuel Fraunces American Ale which is the house beer at Fraunces Tavern.

Being beer lovers as we are, we decided to combine out staten island ferry trip with a visit to this brewery, even though the beers were not as fascinating as most other craft beer breweries. We checked their website and instagram beforehand to be sure they were open, but after our 15 minute walk to the brewery we were denied due to a ‘private event’. We were not even allowed to get some water for the heat. Luckily we had a lovely time at the italian place next door, with great beer! So skip this rude joint and go next door!
