“Everything is local. People want local products,” said mechanical engineer Paul Sciara, who co-founded the City Island Beer Company on the island known for its ship-building history. “There’s a growing demand for better beer, craft beer in the area.”
“We’re just looking to bring in a different type of craftsmanship to City Island and the area,” he told WCBS 880 reporter Alex Silverman. “We drew a lot of inspiration from the community and City Island has a rich history.”
His pale ale debuts tonight as New York City Beer Week kicks off in DUMBO, Brooklyn.
