Brewery www.qns.com I LIC COURIER I JUNE 2017 23 ICONYC Brewing Company 45-13 34th Ave, Long Island City BY ESTELLE PYPER Long Island City’s local ICONYC Brewing Company opened a new taproom on May 5 at 35-14 34th St., not too far from their main brewing facility. Their popular original beers, “High Ryse” and “Vexed,” and some newer craft brews like the berry-flavored “Proper Burial” are on tap. Fully owned and operated by ICONYC’s three founders and childhood friends, Sam Bosrok, Bruno Daddi and Laszlo Fodor, the new space is the perfect place to grab a beer and relax at the end of a long day. The founders opened their brewery four years ago, fulfilling a longtime dream. Fodor remembers Bosrok, the head brewer, brewing beer in his basement in Long Island City as a kid. “It kind of became all our passions,” Fodor recalled. “We were always talking about running a brewery someday and then once he came back from the West Coast after attending Oregon State University, we were like, ‘Let’s do it.’ We all saved up our life savings and went into it.” The taproom is open on Wednesdays through Fridays from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m., Saturdays from noon to 10 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 8 p.m. Visit their website at www.iconycbrewing.com.
