"It’s the dirt. And the water. And the care the brewers put into each batch. That’s what the conversation will inevitably turn to at this brewery just a few minutes from the New York/New Jersey border. After being stuck on the BQE and then jockeying around the GWB, Drowned Lands' modern country interior and rich, earthy brews are a welcome respite. Grab your drink inside the former reform school administrative building and then walk alongside the Wawayanda Creek. After your stroll, order one of their brick oven pizzas, which are a perfect complement to their award-winning sours and hazy IPAs. If you’re in the mood for small bites, go with the grilled peaches with whipped ricotta, hot honey, pistachio and basil appetizer." - Keith Hernandez
