About Blue Duck Brewing Company
Blue Duck Brewing Company is a family-owned brewery and taproom on Hurley Avenue in Kingston. The name comes from the movie Billy Madison, where Billy draws a blue duck because he had never seen one. The brewery says that idea stuck: draw it, brew it, build it.
Lagers and pilsners are the focus, inspired by German and Czech traditions. Its website says the beers are unfiltered and made without finings. The core lineup includes an American Lager, a New York Pilsner and a Hazy IPA.
Food comes from Phoenicia Diner Canteen, served right in the taproom. The website promises diner classics like pancakes, plus a lunch and dinner menu and seasonal specials. It also lists wing nights on Tuesdays and burger nights on Thursdays.
The space has large overhead doors and patio seating. The website invites you to bring the kids and settle in for a pint. Blue Duck also takes bookings for private events.
