Montauk Brewing Company Expands Its Coastal Footprint with New North Shore Brewpub

MONTAUK, N.Y., Aug. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Montauk Brewing Co., the coastal lifestyle and craft beer brand by Tilray Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY; TSX: TLRY) that captures the laid-back energy of Montauk and resonates with fans well beyond the East End, is bringing more of its come-as-you-are spirit to Long Island with the opening of its second brewpub location in the village of Port Jefferson, New York.

Known for fresh, easy-drinking beers, surf-town energy and its iconic red Brew Barn steps from the beach, Montauk Brewing has become a symbol of good times on the East End — where locals, weekenders and craft beer fans come together over a shared love of sun, salt air and community.

Now open at 22 Mill Creek Road in Port Jefferson, the new 800-square-foot brewpub expands that unmistakable Montauk experience to Long Island’s North Shore, creating a new destination for fresh pours, familiar favorites and the brand’s relaxed coastal vibe.

“We started Montauk Brewing Company because we wanted to share the spirit of our hometown with everyone,” said Vaughan Cutillo, co-founder of Montauk Brewing Co. “This new location is a testament not only to that original goal, but to our fans and partners who have helped us grow beyond the doors of our red barn.”

The new location captures the Montauk brand and what it stands for completely: first waves, beach days, good friends, fresh beer, local flavor and a come-as-you-are energy. Patrons will be able to sip on Montauk Brewing Co. staples, like Wave Chaser IPA and The Surf Beer, as well as summer favorites like Summer Ale, Watermelon Session Ale and Summer Sour.

“Port Jefferson, with its classic, easy-going coastal village charm, really felt like a natural fit, and we are dedicated to bringing the high-quality experience and brews we provide on the East End to Port Jeff,” Cutillo added.

Come out and celebrate the opening with an official ribbon-cutting ceremony with the Port Jefferson Chamber of Commerce and live music on Wednesday, August 19 from 5:00-7:00PM in Port Jefferson.
