3. It's Pumpkin Beer Season !: To help navigate this season of craft pumpkins, Greater Long Island put together a guide to local breweries for some of Long Islanders’ favorites, as indicated to us through a social media request. Included are breweries that have grown to household names in their second decade, and some that are still fledgling. From Montauk to Oyster Bay, it's worthy to try pumpkin beers right here on the island. (Greater Bay Shore)
