"While they may call themselves a mom-and-pop brewery, this spot in Hudson serves the most well-regarded beer in the Hudson Valley (which you’ll find at restaurants all over this list). Owner Dan Suarez, formerly of cult-favorite Hill Farmstead Brewery in Vermont, specializes in ales of mixed fermentation, unfiltered lagers, and other crisp beers. Pick up a four-pack of Palatine Pils, a hop-accented German-style pils, or a 500-ml bottle of Parlance, a plum country beer." - Emma Orlow
