Been driving past the sign on NY Rte 22 for years, finally stopping by this evening. Lots of great beers on tap: flights or pints available as a guitarist filled the space with music tonight. Growlers available in either 32 or 64 oz size, and Nine Pin Cider for the non beer drinker. They have been around for 7 years and will have something to suit your fancy. I particularly enjoyed the Coffee Oatmeal Stout and Mostly Mosaic session ipa. Food available in their great space for a relaxing visit.

Love this place. The owner, John, is a very nice guy and a talented beer brewery. There are several brews to choose from and he even makes his own personal pizzas which looked very good (didn't order any food.) He sells growlers to go, which we took advantage of and enjoyed when we returned home. This is a very rustic place in the boonies and it's worth a stop. There is entertainment from time-to-time and the place typically gets a decent amount of patrons. Met some very nice locals and enjoyed a beer with a few of them. I'll definitely be stopping back at this place again in the future!

My Dad talked this place up that's in the middle of nowhere that he discovered driving by and he saw a sign that said beer. We walked into a tiny place with no frills, which was very cozy and welcoming. We didn't feel like the outsiders when there was only a few people inside , but several people followed shortly after. We enjoyed both of the stouts and the Viking Ale, but we think the top choice was the Jolie Christmas Ale. It was flavorful and festive. Fun and quiet place to hang out with friends with entertainment offered on Saturdays. Forgive the cruidity of the restroom pic, but I couldn't resist. Never saw anything like it before.

Great beers he brews himself right there. Small but relaxing, comfortable spot. Don't expect anything special from the food, it's sourced elsewhere and just heated up as a convenience to you
