If the beer bottle Tom Selleck was sipping from in a recent episode of the police drama "Blue Bloods" looked familiar, that's because it was a Westchester brew.

It was the lager from Yonkers Brewing Company.

Selleck plays NYC Police Commissioner Frank Reagan in the show, which will air its final season — its 14th — next year.

Yonkers Brewing Company's beers have made numerous cameo appearances in over a dozen episodes of the CBS show thanks to a chance encounter their sales manager had at the now closed Beer Noggin in Bronxville in 2016.

"Next thing we knew, we were invited to the show's set in Brooklyn, bringing along a few cases of our beloved brew," said Owner John Rubbo.

"We embarked on a thrilling tour of the studio and sets, leaving behind our beer with hopes that it might make a cameo appearance," he said. "Lo and behold, it not only appeared but became a regular on the show!
