ICYMI: Blind Bat Brewery Brings Experimental Beers To Centerport

CENTERPORT, NY — After flying around on Long Island in search of a home, Blind Bat Brewery Bistro & Take-Away landed in Centerport earlier this summer.

Paul Dlugokencky, the co-owner and brew-master, began home-brewing as a hobby in 2008. Officially, he started Blind Bat Brewery as a part-time endeavor in 2008 and began looking for a location in 2013. A 2015 space in Smithtown never actually opened due to technical issues that arose after the lease was signed that were out of Dlugokencky's control.

Eventually, Dlugokencky and his wife and co-owner, Regina, both in their late 50s, found a space in their hometown of Centerport, where they hope to keep their brewery long-term.

The brewery is located at 94 Washington Dr., and a look at its beer list would certainly have it stand out from other breweries. Of course, there are the traditional beers like pilsners, pale ales, brown ales and IPAs. But the area where Blind Bat differs is in some of the truly experimental beers crafted by Dlugokencky.
