They Do the Driving

Luke, Jake, and Alex Weinstein, founders of the on-demand errand-running service Hamptons Runner, are back in action for a second season offering designated driving, grocery and food delivery, child care, and athletic coaching, even beach day setup, between Southampton and Montauk. 

The goal of their service, according to a release, is to make clients’ time here more convenient and relaxing, and this year the brothers have even more full-time runners on their team. Out on the town for the night and don’t want to drive? Hamptons Runner will drive you in your own car for $35 an hour. Feeling tipsy after a couple of drinks with friends? Hampton Runner will dispatch someone to pick you and your passengers up and drive you home in your own vehicle for $15 per person. 

A full list of services and pricing is at thehamptonsrunner.com. The service can also be reached at 631-800-2529.

 

Yacht Charters

Karen and Charles Giambalvo, captains and owners of the private yacht charter services Charles Charters, cruised 1,217 nautical miles up the East Coast, from Palm Beach, Fla., to spend the summer here on the East End with their 50-foot Jefferson motor yacht. 

The husband-and-wife team are basing their yacht charter service at Gardiner’s Marina on Three Mile Harbor, and are offering a variety of itineraries from half-day cruises with lunch to sunset and dinner cruises for up to 13 people. Trips depart from the Gardiner’s Marina or other locations for additional fees. This is the first summer for Charles Charters on the East End after operating for five winters out of Palm Beach. 

More information can be found at charlescharters.com.

 

Drunk Yoga

The founder and lead instructor of Drunk Yoga, Eli Walker, is bringing her vino-vinyasa yoga class to Montauk next week. The class is held at untraditional venues like bars and yachts, which makes it feel more like a “yoga party” than intensive group exercise, according to a release. 

In Montauk, Ms. Walker will be at Ruschmeyer’s on Second House Road at 10 a.m. and Grey Lady Montauk that same day from 2 to 3:30 p.m. The cost of the Grey Lady class is $39, including two glasses of wine, and tickets can be purchased in advance at dodrunkyoga.com. The Ruschmeyer’s class costs $20 cash at the door. 

Despite the addition of wine (no hard liquor is served), the focus is still on proper technique and safety while learning the practice of yoga. Classes will be held at Grey Lady Montauk on West Lake Drive. 

Beginners and walk-ins are welcome, as part of the goal of Drunk Yoga is to make the practice accessible to those outside the traditional yoga community. More information including other upcoming classes can be found at the Drunk Yoga website. 

 

Second Hand Rose

Doreen Petrillo and George Miller have opened the Second Hand Rose antiques and thrift gift shop at 514 Three Mile Harbor-Hog Creek Road in Springs. 

Ms. Petrillo followed her father into the antiques business and Mr. Miller is “very much about rescuing, restoring, repurposing, and recycling,” according to his partner. Together, they hope to “bring back some old-fashioned values and a sense of nostalgia” at their new shop. They also plan to donate a portion of proceeds to organizations such as the veterans charity Boots on the Ground and the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons. 

The shop will have its grand opening tomorrow and Saturday with wine, cheese, and popcorn for kids. The shop will be open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday through Sunday and from 10:30 to 7 on Monday through Thursday.

In Sixth Summer, Montauk Brewing Company Is Going Strong

In Sixth Summer, Montauk Brewing Company Is Going Strong

The Montauk Brewing Company
The Montauk Brewing Company
By
Alex Lemonides

In its first summer, the Montauk Brewing Company sold about 535 barrels of beer to 17 restaurants, delivering the kegs by bicycle. Six years later, the company, founded by Montauk natives Eric Moss (brewmaster), Joe Sullivan, and Vaughn Cutillo (head of marketing), expects to sell about 40,000 barrels in hundreds of establishments. 

But despite skyrocketing demand for craft beer and a quality product, the three friends have no ambitions for global domination. “We want to grow deeper,” said Mr. Cutillo, “not outwards.” While the colorful Montauk Brewing Company cans are almost ubiquitous on the East End, you won’t find them west of New York City or north of Westchester. Instead, the founders are sticking close to their roots. 

They started their company with an entrepreneurial spirit and a common love for their community. All three grew up on the South Fork and graduated from the Montauk School. As many of their peers got sucked into a more cosmopolitan and industrial orbit, the friends looked to start a business that could become part of the fabric of the South Fork and allow them to stay here.

They were working for a solar panel installation company when they started brewing beer in Mr. Cutillo’s basement, just down the road from the brewing company’s tasting room. 

As an economics major at the University of Colorado at Boulder, Mr. Moss learned the foundations of the brewing process from his roommate. Otherwise, he is completely self-taught, tweaking recipes little by little until finding the version he likes. The friends began by brewing small batches for themselves and their friends, and holding gatherings to share their creations. They saw the craft beer industry beginning to take off, and the beer went over so well it wasn’t long before they started writing “Montauk Brewing Company” on the kegs and quit their jobs to pursue the beer business full time.

They had trouble getting a bank loan, so Mr. Cutillo’s father let them use his old woodworking shop on South Erie Avenue, which looks a little like a big red barn, for tastings and small-batch test brews. 

 Mr. Moss would tweak recipes with input from the tastings until they met his standards and then send them to a contract brewer in Massachusetts. In 2015, they opened an extension to the old woodworking space to do their own brewing. At capacity, the in-house brewery produces about 5,000 kegs a year. 

The partners opted for brightly colored cans, as opposed to bottles, because cans serve as better protection against sunlight and air and make for better drinking on the beach or the deck of a boat, where broken glass is a recipe for disaster. The bright colors give the cans a fun, summer-under-the-sun look. 

Mr. Cutillo wants growth to be organic, driven by the quality of the product and not by a snappy advertising campaign. But even with a zero dollar marketing budget, demand has quickly outgrown the company’s limited space. With tens of thousands of barrels projected to be sold this summer, the partners went back to the contractors on a much bigger scale, though the in-house brewery still runs at capacity. Today, the Montauk Brewing Company produces five varieties: Driftwood Ale, Summer Ale, Wave Chaser India Pale Ale, Arrowhead Red Ale, and Session India Pale Ale.

The delivery bicycle evolved into brightly colored branded vans, with the same design as the cans. The vans even have four-wheel drive, and they cater clambakes. 

  “Quality is, of course, priority number one” says Mr. Cutillo, “but our biggest problem has been not running out of stock.”

The motto of the brewing company is “Come as you are.” It adorns their vans and welcome mats and hangs on a sign above the door at the tasting room. It reflects the uniquely Montauk attitude that the trio exude.

“This is a place for community gatherings,” says Mr. Cutillo of his father’s old woodworking shop, “it’s not a bar, we don’t sell food, and we close at 8. We don’t want to compete with local restaurants who serve our beer.” 

The indoor space is reminiscent of a tasting kitchen, a place where local beer lovers can sample their newest creations. It is open year round, with space heaters on the patio in the colder months so that locals can still enjoy the outdoors while drinking their favorite Montauk ale. Their target demographics are younger families (Mr. Moss and Mr. Sullivan both have young children) and the older folk who live here all year.

In that spirit of community, the company plans to donate a portion of proceeds from their sixth-anniversary party on June 30 to the Bill O’Donnell Swim Scholarship fund through the Old Montauk Athletic Club, in memory of a friend’s father who died this spring. 

The celebration will begin at noon. During the day, the partners will be auctioning off a custom beach cruiser bicycle and tapping their limited edition “six-year beer,” a pina colada brew that is sure to evoke notes of ocean sunshine and summer.

‘Modern Elegance’ Via the Philippines

Blue Carreon, has opened a shop this summer in East Hampton’s Red Horse shopping complex
By
Isabel Carmichael

After opening a flagship store in Manila and selling items from his Blue Carreon Home line at Bergdorf Goodman and other boutiques in this country, the brand’s founder, Blue Carreon, has opened a shop this summer in East Hampton’s Red Horse shopping complex. 

Mr. Carreon, an interior designer and former fashion and lifestyle journalist, was settling into his new shop last week as he offered a visitor a tour of the space and an introduction to his collection, which is “based on the design philosophy of modern elegance,” according to his website. 

Among the items at the shop, most of which are produced in the Philippines, are boxes and trays, Art Deco paperweights made of brass and inlaid shell, an Art Deco version of tic-tac-toe, an ant vide-poche, recycled plastic mats, recycled cotton blankets that become even softer after being put in the washer and dryer, bags, silk fans, and cloisonné pencil cups.

He has supplemented his collection with things he loves that he sourced away from the Philippines, among them silk velvet pillows from Uzbekistan. 

Originally from Manila, Mr. Carreon holds degrees in communications, fashion merchandising, and interior design, a combination that positioned him well to become a fashion editor at both Philippine Tatler from 2002 to 2005 and after that at Hong Kong Tatler from 2005 to 2008. He opened his retail shop in Manila while living in Hong Kong, and then moved to Singapore to launch the Singapore edition of Amica, an Italian women’s fashion magazine.

In 2010, he moved back to Hong Kong, where he worked as a freelance journalist with a weekly column for The South China Morning Post and a monthly column on fashion and design for Harper’s Bazaar Singapore, among other projects.

After decorating his homes in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Manila, friends encouraged him to brand his own style of interior design. Blue Carreon Home was launched at about the same time as the publication of his book, “Conversations: Up Close and Personal With Icons of Fashion, Interior Design, and Art,” in 2014. The book was a compilation of the interviews of fashion designers that he had done as a column for The Huffington Post. He went on to add other personalities, including artists.

He has his designs produced in factories in Cebu, in the south Philippines. Everything is handmade. “I was fortunate that the factories were owned by friends,” Mr. Carreon said, “so there was trust, and I was confident of their capabilities.”

Mr. Carreon and his husband, Bruce Bromberg, a lawyer who works in finance, split their time between East Hampton and New York City. 

When Mr. Carreon discovered the Red Horse spot was available, he had just 10 days to get it ready for a Memorial Day weekend opening. He painted the wall himself, with stenciled birds and flowers, and pulled it off.

CBD, Now at a Farm Stand Near You

CBD, Now at a Farm Stand Near You

Industrial hemp, used to manufacture CBD.

Open Minded Organics gets into industrial hemp business

They look the same, smell the same, and taste the same, as industrial hemp and marijuana belong to the same plant species, the Cannabis sativa. But that’s where the similarities end, because comparing industrial hemp to marijuana is like comparing a portobello mushroom to a psychedelic one.

“Just like there’s a difference between cherry tomatoes and beefsteak tomatoes,” said David Falkowski, the founder of the Open Minded Organics farm in Bridgehampton, “there are different cannabis plants.” 

Mr. Falkowski is the only registered processor of industrial hemp on Long Island. He uses it to manufacture CBD, or cannabidiol, a chemical extracted from the cannabis plant that has gained prominence in recent years for its therapeutic properties in helping all manner of ailments, from restless nights and anxiety to aching muscles, menopause, and even skin problems. As a result, CBD products, such as tinctures, edibles, lotions, gel caps, and balms, are popping up everywhere, in heath food stores, yoga studios, the gym, juice bars, and, naturally, at Mr. Falkowski’s farm stand.

But misinformation about CBD is widespread, and the stigma attached to cannabis runs deep. So Mr. Falkowski and other reputable CBD manufacturers are eager for people to understand the facts.

CBD products are legal, if sourced from federally compliant farms. They are nonpsychoactive, as they contain less than 0.3 percent THC, or delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, the compound responsible for that “stoned” feeling. Industrial hemp cultivars, such as Sour Tsunami, Turpey Hemp, and Wulf, are specifically grown for hemp-derived products and CBD, not for euphoric drug use.

In fact, as Richard Ball, New York’s commissioner of agriculture and markets and an enthusiastic promoter of the hemp industry, once said, “You can smoke industrial hemp for a week and all you will get is a sore throat.”

As such, farming industrial hemp, which Mr. Falkowski does in an undisclosed area — “Not because I have anything to hide, but because I don’t need high school kids thinking it’s weed and destroying it all” — is heavily regulated. 

The plant varieties he grows are approved by the Industrial Hemp Research Initiative of New York State, a government program launched in 2015 to enable certain educational institutions to grow and research industrial hemp. Since then, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo has introduced and signed legislation to establish industrial hemp as an agricultural commodity. Mr. Falkowski’s plants undergo stringent compliance inspections to test the levels of THC during all stages of farming and harvesting.

“This is the last chance for small, blue-collar farmers to stay in the legalized marijuana business,” he said, since obtaining a license to grow medical marijuana is now prohibitively expensive. 

The Alchemist’s Kitchen is a Manhattan-based manufacturer of botanical medicines. A few weeks ago, the company introduced its CBD product line at the Mandala Yoga Center for Healing Arts in Amagansett Square.

“There’s a history that goes back hundreds of years between cannabis and yoga,” said Lou Sagar, the chief executive officer of the Alchemist’s Kitchen, which he founded in 2015. “So, I was motivated by trying to educate people on the benefits of CBD, and one way to do that was through yoga teachers and their studios.”

“Of all the CBD companies that approached us to sell their products,” said Jolie Parcher, the founder and owner of Mandala Yoga, “Lou was the only one who wanted to see who we are and if we were right for the Alchemist’s Kitchen, which gave me the opportunity to check out their mission and decide if they were right for us.”

The company is “intention-based,” Mr. Sagar said, with seven resident herbalists who prescribe botanical remedies depending on a person’s needs or intentions. His CBD is sourced from a federally regulated Hudson Valley farm, and his goal is to create socially responsible products. The medicinal benefits of CBD, he stressed, are merely claim-based and not scientific, but when produced well, it offers three main benefits: anti-inflammatory, pain relief, and stress and anxiety-reduction.

CBD first came to public attention in a 2013 CNN documentary called “Weed,” featuring a young girl in Colorado who had a rare and life-threatening form of epilepsy that by the time she was 5 caused 300 grand mal seizures a week. Through online research, her desperate parents heard of treating her syndrome with high-CBD cannabis, which almost immediately ended her seizures.

Since then, CBD has gone mainstream, evolving into one of today’s biggest wellness fads. In Los Angeles, it can be found in cocktails, and juice shops will add a few drops of CBD-infused olive oil to a beverage. CBD beer has been introduced in the United Kingdom. In the Sag Harbor Gym on Bay Street, a countertop display of CBD products offers snack packs of gummy animals and a dropper filled with a single dose. 

Despite all of this, there is still much confusion about the legality of CBD. 

In April, Forbes published an article stating that “the Drug Enforcement Administration maintains that CBD is definitely still illegal.” On the D.E.A. website, however, CBD, or cannabidiol, is not listed as a Schedule I controlled substance. The D.E.A. recently issued an official statement, though still murky, basically stating that it is illegal only when sourced from a non-federally sanctioned grower.

What is known is that if CBD oil is ingested in high doses, a urine test for drugs will produce a positive reading, as the test determines only the presence of THC, not CBD. Regardless, for now, users of CBD products are touting it as the new “it” remedy. 

Lisa Zaloga, a yoga teacher who divides her time between Amagansett and New York, began using a tincture produced by the Alchemist’s Kitchen to deal with stress and a CBD balm to treat neck and shoulder aches. “I’m not exactly a skeptic,” she said, “but neither am I overly effusive. But I have to say, after about two weeks of steadily using the oil, I felt my whole nervous system relax.”

About the topical potion, she was unreservedly effusive. “The balm is the bomb. I walked out instantly cured. It was like I had rubbed Advil right into my neck.”

Janice Vaziri, a self-employed accountant who lives in Springs year round, said she was nervous about trying CBD because of the cannabis connection. “But after speaking with Lou, the owner of Alchemist Kitchen, and doing a lot of research, I was more than confident that it was a natural, plant-based way to get some relief from my symptoms without the hallucinogenic component.” Her ailment includes two severely herniated disks. Until she sees a specialist to discuss her options, she said, the balm is a huge help.

Mr. Falkowski of Open Minded Organics was also eager to share testimonials of his CBD clients, who had “amazing stories,” he said. But this week he was busy networking in Albany, at the inaugural Eastern United States Hemp Growers Conference and Expo. The first-ever professional conference dedicated exclusively to industrial hemp, it attracted internationally renowned hemp industry experts along with key government officials and agronomic researchers from the Empire State.
