"While others balk at the nickname, Flagship Brewery has embraced Staten Island’s “Forgotten Borough” label with their clever “unforgettable beer” tagline. Founded in 2014 by beer industry veterans Matt McGinley and Jay Sykes — who were born and raised in the nearby West Brighton neighborhood — Flagship Brewery is inspired by the island’s rich history in brewing that faded over the years. With eight varieties of beer on tap at a time, the wide open space and large picnic table seating make it ideal for a big group. It’s also particularly kid-friendly." - Claire Elisabeth
