USA, NY: Big Eddy Brewing Company unveiled in Narrowsburg

After 14 months of renovations to the old Wayne Bank building on Main Street, Big Eddy Brewing Company’s Brewmaster Jake Johnson, alongside co-owners Alison Johnson and Caitlin and Tom Coacci, is excited to unveil what’s been brewing — a labor of love to give locals a place to drink, eat and share community, Sullivan County Democrat reported on August 9.

The opening of the brewery became official after a soft launch during the hamlet’s annual Riverfest celebration at the end of July, making Big Eddy Brewing Company the first craft brewery in Narrowsburg.

Jake, a lawyer by trade, wanted to give Narrowsburg residents a place to spend their time with friends and family. The brewmaster has a personal history in brewing, starting with humble beginnings with an in-home set up – the results of which inspired him to take it to the next level. With the help of his wife Alison and partnership with the Coacci duo, the team’s dream came to life and now has a home that meshes well with the business environment on Main Street.

The newly installed massive stainless-steel vats will be home to various types of craft beer, including IPA’s, kolschs and stouts as soon as mid-September. While waiting for it all to brew, thirsty guests can enjoy other New York-made craft drinks such as cider, wine, sour ales, seltzers and canned craft cocktails. Most drinks are priced at only $8, with a Friday happy hour of $4 draughts from 3 p.m. – 7 p.m, with more specials to be announced soon!

Hungry customers won’t have to look far for a fix either. In addition to their location at the Sullivan County Golf Club, Smok’d Barbecue calls 93 Main Street home with a menu prepared by local award-winning culinary master, Chef Jean Paul Medina and his wife Sarah.

Chef Medina has had a history of creating dishes for many notable Catskills-based eateries, including Callicoon Hills, The DeBruce and The North Branch Inn managed by Foster Supply Hospitality.

The brewery is open everyday except Wednesday, from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., with the kitchen closing at 9 p.m.
