Step into the WHB Brewing Company located in the Gabreski Airport industrial park at 220 Roger’s Way, and you feel like you just found one of the last un-Hampton havens around. Or, maybe better, the good, chill, jolly beachy vibes that you love about the Hamptons without the fussy stuff and overpriced accompaniments.
While the brewery’s motto — “every day’s a beach day” — sets the easy-going tone for their tap room and crushable brews, it’s that relationship that’s not only helped owners Brian Sckipp and John Salvaggio start one of the East End’s best craft beer success stories, it’s put them on tap to flow into the foreseeable future.
