Kidd Squid—the name sounds a little bit like a cartoon pirate cephalopod superhero. You can picture it, right? One tentacled leg saves a creature in distress from certain death, while another tosses gold coins to adoring masses like a sea-centric Robin Hood, each caper ending with the tidy tagline: “Avast! Kidd Squid saves the day!”
In a hopped-up way, Kidd Squid Brewing Co., Sag Harbor’s one and only craft brewing company, is doing just that.
Owners Rory McEvoy and Gráinne Coen’s groovy, whimsical pastel tasting room opened July 2022 at 11 Spring Street, and it’s been quenching thirsts and bringing together community ever since.
The tasting room comes to you at this year’s Northforker Wine & Food Classic on Sept. 3 at Borghese Vineyard (17150 County Road 48, Cutchogue, 631-734-5111).
