Another stop on Bella’s Fabulous Brewery tour and another ride on the famous (or infamous) LIRR. This time to Farmingdale, NY. Chris was with me on this trip, and this time we left from Penn Station. This brewery is a very short walk from the train station and this time we did not get lost! I planned this trip to get to Farmingdale before Lithology opened so we could get some food first. We stopped at “Croxley Ale House” on the corner, Cynthia had recommended it, but there was a sign that said you needed two forms of ID to enter. We passed on it and went to “That Meetball Place”. After thinking about it for a while, I decided the sign must be there in case college students try to use their student ID. That Meetball Place was a good choice, service was good and the meatballs were delicious.

We got to Lithology just as they were opening and were greeted by an adorable little pupper. Said pupper (I have forgot the name and whether pup was girl or boy), was wearing a very colorful handmade sweater that looked more like a poncho. I ordered a flight, it is pictured to the left and is the only picture I took.

Small place, dog friendly, no kitchen but they have an arrangement with “That Meetball Place” to deliver food. If we had only known! The bartender was friendly and knowledgeable. Since we got there when it opened it was not busy at all and we had a nice time chatting with the bartender.

They sell cans and will fill growlers, while filling mine she chipped the lip of the bottle. I was a little peeved at that since I can’t get it replaced. Le sigh. Except for that one snafu we had an enjoyable time.
