The 11 Best Breweries In The Hudson Valley & The Catskills 2024 - Hudson Valley - The Infatuation

"Suarez was founded at a time when most breweries were packing in the hops, pushing the boundaries of ABV, and going big, big, big. When everyone zigged, they zagged, and created some of the most delicious, dialed-in pilsners, lagers, and ales using ingredients from local farms. They’re a bit like a master guitarist playing a blues riff—you know they can go off, but they’re focused on respecting tradition. That being said, the team at Suarez does play some jazz, so don’t be surprised to find wild fermented country beers with sumac, chamomile, thyme, and buckwheat. Their newly reopened tasting room is a simple space with shared long tables that invite strangers to meet each other and become fast friends." - keith hernandez
