Brewery Rockaway Brewing Co. 46-01 5th St., Long Island City Marcus Burnett and Ethan Long started brewing beer in their Rockaway backyard and in 2012 opened Rockaway Brewing Co. in Long Island City. The duo recently went back to their roots to open a second tap room in Rockaway, so patrons can sip on brews while looking out at the ocean. Rockaway ESB, their flagship brew that is described as “malty and sweet,” the Black Gold, an Irish stout and 1875 Pale Ale, with notes of grapefruit and tangerine, are always served along with a rotation of special brews.
