Hudson Valley Brewery

Fantastic! You are in Beacon? Make sure to stop by here. Great fruity beer, expensive pizza and lobster rolls, such a chill vibe. Kids are welcomed as I’ve seen many. Really easy. Tables are first come first serve. Beer you just get it at the “bar”. The peach, strawberry, beers were my favorite. I’d come back 100%

Hudson Valley Brewing is an absolute gem. The space is stunning—both inside and out—with tons of seating and a huge patio that makes it perfect for any kind of day. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick drink or settling in for a long afternoon, there’s plenty of room to relax and enjoy. The beers? Phenomenal. The Enjoyer is a standout lager—crisp, clean, and surprisingly flavorful, while Feel No Way is a super refreshing and well-executed take on a Pilsner. Both are light, smooth, and endlessly drinkable. If I lived nearby, I’d be here daily. Don’t miss this spot if you’re anywhere near Beacon. Total must-visit. 🍻

This is a beautiful brewery that offers some the best sours around. The silhouettes are always a must have. I also sampled Theta, Ikigai, Yet Another, and Pastel. Not a single miss.

Great place for beer and snacks with friends:) There is plenty of room and also a lot of outside sitting -great when it's sunny outside The staff are super nice We got 2 Pizzas - nice and crispy Lobster salad roll- the salad was tasty,the roll a bit too dry for my taste ( I would have served it on the sourdough bread that would have been perfect) Charcuterie board - great portion, there were 4 of us and it was the perfect size appetizer. The sourdough bread was delicious! Eggplant panini - was surprisingly good and had a nice kick to it All and all definitely recommend if you are hiking or just passing by the area

I had been walking around the Hudson Valley Brewery many times, but this’s the first first time I was here to grab a drink with my wife. It’s a nice and beat place, their beer on tap is really fantastic. And the surrounding areas are amazing, you’ll dream of living here, or you could just go inside to get a drink.

We visited Hudson Valley for the first time last Thursday evening while traveling, I have had HV beers in the past so I was excited to stop and try a few things in person and see what they had to go. Surprisingly, most of what the have on the menu is also on the to go menu, and everything we tasted was great. The guys behind the bar made the experience for us though, as we sat at two of the only few barstools. They were helpful with opinions as well as samples and because of that, we left with more than we intended to (which is a good thing!). Their outdoor seating area is beautiful, plenty of parking, and we will definitely stop back when we get back up north.

Best Brewery! Located in downtown Beacon Ny. This brewery has incredible brews and excellent food. Their award winning sours are not to be missed but their Feel No Way Pilsner and say no more black lager are equally well crafted. They have ventured into wine and cider and also serve simple craft cocktails to accommodate gluten free needs.

An excellent local brewery with great food, an extensive menu, and a modern vibe. Country feel, but very modern inside - something for everyone, including non-alcoholic options. It’s a destination spot!

So I haven't been here in forever but my husband and I stopped in to get out of the cold and enjoy a pour or two and wow, the renovations they've done since we were there last are beautiful! A lovely wood interior full of plants, a nice long bar, and lots of seating, Too cold for the patio when we were there, but it looks great. Beer was as incredible as ever. My husband loved his Pilsner and I had a great sour farmhouse ale. They have a pizza vendor on site, but we didn't eat. They looked good from afar though! Great accessibility. There's a steeper paved path to the tasting room from the lower parking area, but there is also a ramp around the other side of the building as well if you need it. They have multiple gender neutral single restrooms and a nice big family/accessible restroom complete with an easy to open soft close door. They also have an elevator!! A very welcome addition to a space that helps everyone enjoy it.

When I see IPAs, I stay away. So when I saw the menu consisted of this as it's main beer focus I was a little bit anxious about finding something I'd like. However, there are a plethora of sour ipa options here which I found myself enjoying, so much so that I ended up trying about 6 different 4 oz pours. On a Monday evening, the brewery was rather quiet. It seemed to be warmed up by mostly regulars who were enjoying the patio area, which is rather vast. We opted to stay inside in order to avoid the breeze. The space reminds me of a midcentury modern style cafe. Bright, airy, with lots of plants to create a light and herbacious and modern atmosphere. The plants were well cared for, which was so nice! It felt lush along with their more modern style merch. You can tell the graphic designer here gets the vibe. It was both eclectic but digestible and granola at the same time--a little like Odesza! All the staff were warm and friendly. I really loved the space, the affordability, and the overall vibe. Impeccable all around. I'll definitely take my friends out here whenever I get the chance. It's nice that it's a little more secluded down the Main St. area as well so you can feel like you're getting away into a little tucked away area.

This is a lovely spot to hangout and have drinks. Somewhat long wait line to get drinks and food at peak hours. The pizza is great. The drinks were good. I had the pastel cider and enjoyed it. Clean bathrooms which is always a plus at these places.

Wanted to see the falls, and this popped up as a good place to meet for the walk. Went inside and first impression: LOUD LOUD LOUD Anyway, besides that, they have a good selection of Hudson Valley Beers on tap, as well as assorted other liquors of choice. Despite the crush of people inside, including plenty of kids, service was fast and friendly, and the tenders took the time to answer questions. As far as the kids go, there were a few toys around I think, plus a shelf of things for sale that the kids kept picking up and shuffling around. No one at the bar paid any mind to that. Back to LOUD. There's a spacious downstairs room, a slightly smaller but relatively similar upstairs room, and then outside patio. All were filled with jolly talking. I was surprised, but I was there on a sunny warm summer Saturday, so sure, plenty enjoying that together. Oh, as for the beer itself? Pretty good. I think the only food they have was on the shelf where the kids were playing with it. I'm sure they'd get it for you if you were sitting upstairs or outside and wanted a bite, but it's not a restaurant. I had two beers, the first one had a bit much of a head on it but the porter was poured super-slow and smooth to make up for it. Verdict: A good stop on your way through the area.

Steve and myself recently enjoyed a pale lager from Hudson Valley Brewery. It was a good beer experience to be sure and we both love lagers and the one we had didn't disappoint us in the slightest. The beer we enjoyed was the Windrow. With flavors of grassy, piney, minty along with a cereal and oatmeal aspects this lager blended all of those features together to make for a very pleasant lager to drink. It kind of had an herbal presence which I liked to have playing about on my taste buds. Nice first time beer with this brewery and hope to have other selections of theirs in the future.

The pizza is very good n fresh. They have a great variety of fun beers. They also have outdoor n indoor section. This brewery has such a laidback chill vibe. It is at the town of Beacon. I tried the 4 ounces/ 8 ounces $4-8 beer (each) tastings.. each of the beers were so unique and special in taste. The brick oven pizza was really good nice and hot and fresh There is parking right outside and clean washrooms to use inside the brewery. There is a beautiful stream on the opposite side of the brewery that led us to the Fishkill falls. Overall, I highly recommend the vibe and tastings offered by the Hudson valley brewery.

Hudson Valley Brewery in Beacon is Hudson Valley establishment known for hoppy ales and wood fired pizza from the Daily Beacon. We sampled a variety of brews and pizzas when we went. We had the margarita, pepperoni and tie dye (pesto, marinara and vodka) pizzas alongside soft pretzel sticks (Beacon lowkey had the best pretzel game) and smoked wings topped with parmesan peppercorn sauce. Hudson Valley Brewery makes for a perfect place to enjoy an afternoon or evening with a group of friends. Go have some brews and a pizza (or 3) here

I've been coming to HVB since they first opened and it just keeps getting better! They have opened a beautiful, indoor tasting toom so you can enjoy their amazing sours and IPAs all year round in comfort. The best way to celebrate a hike is to come to HVB after. I even consider it part of the beacon trail!

Always a great time with fine beers at HVB. I do miss the old tasting room that sprawled among the brewing equipment in the basement. Surprisingly the pizza tent closes much earlier than the tasting room. Inquire when you arrive.

Great beer, friendly staff and the best pizza in the region. Their unique take on sour beers is also extremely refreshing. 10/10

HVB is a modern establishment that offers some darn good sours and beers of course. My first time trying sours and I was blown away. They were so good. Seating is plenty with nice wooden tables and seats. We sampled 2 sours and 1 beer. We loved it. I am going to review the restroom here, yeah it is worth mentioning. There are 4 unisex restrooms in pristine condition like the ones you find in really really good hotels. Even the TP was of premium quality. Did I mention the incense diffuser and how good the smell was. Do not forget to use the restroom here!

We took a mini road trip to Beacon this past summer and to my delight, I learned that it is the home to Hudson Valley Brewery upon our arrival. This is a really fun brewery with some fantastic beer. I wouldn't so much quantify this as a brewery you go to with a bunch of buddies to watch a game. Think more of a date spot with your girl or a visit with the family. All of the beer was delicious. the servers were friendly, and the wood fired pizza on site was the icing on the cake. I wish I lived closer but looks like I'll just have to make another road trip sooner rather than later!

Its a nice, clean layout with a ton of seat options in and out. The were kind to let us try a few types of beer. I love the descriptions for the tasting notes. Would come back as it was a vibe.

Modern brewery with large indoor and outdoor seating areas. At least a dozen beers on draft with a nice variety. I had an English mild served through a nitro tap giving it a creamy texture. Despite being super busy, there were several bartenders and the queues moved quickly.

While I didn't love my beer (one of the two pilsners listed on the menu) -- I thought this was a solid spot to come with a group. There's a lot of seating inside and outside. The pizza smelled really good, I'd try it next time!

Love this spot. What a great addition to Beacon. They have amazing-looking beer, delicious local kombucha (from YesFolk), and a gorgeous, modern, comfortable space.

Great place for a beer and to hang out with friends. Cool open barn type space with windows that overlook the Hudson. Beer selection was good, and our beers were tasty. We ordered the pretzel, which went well with the beer. I can't speak for any other food, but for the beer and view, it is a fun place.

Truly one of the best breweries in the Hudson Valley region! As someone who could only go to breweries closer to the MTA train lines it was a pleasure to drive here. It did not disappoint! I think the best thing I liked about Hudson Valley Brewery is the space and amenities with it. HVB has dart boards, shuffle boards and they were even able to fit in a stage in the space they had. I have been to other breweries where they had LOTS of space but don't have anything like the stuff HVB is putting out there. It isn't even a crazy amount of stuff too but just a few of these things add to the fun and atmosphere! Brew-wise their tap selection was fantastic. It didn't fall into the trap of having 80% of their menu be IPAs. They had a good variety consisting of ales, lagers, sours, ciders, stout, etc. As someone who just wanted a more summer selection for the hot weather I appreciated the two sour options they had... and I really liked them too! When I was here I ended up in dart game against a day tripper from Brooklyn (spoiler I lost.) As I was losing though a woman went on stage with a book and started doing this weird preschooler thing were she picked out people sitting at their tables to ask what celebrity they thought a particular picture in the book looked like. She was up their for like 3 minutes before bowing out. Extremely funny in a absurdist way. I guess the reason I share this story is... the vibe here is great. Its laid back, fun and the crowds are wonderful.

Hudson Valley Brewery is the birthplace of my appreciation for sour beers. It all began about 4 years ago when I was really unsure. I really love that they offer 4oz tap pours so you can try a bunch of different types. I can't remember what I've gotten in the past but this time around I did the blossom, silhouette: peace, silhouette: orangescile, and a non-sour IPA I believe it was called sky top. All were excellent and true to the description on the menu. The vibes here are great, lots of tables and space overall. I look forward to stopping in each time I'm in Beacon.

I now know why this place has 5 stars ! Every beer is so delicious and I was particularly excited for all the IPAs. Their sours are also great! The prices are cheap which was a steal. Also their tacos are amazing ! I got the chicken. They usually have pizza but the weekend we went they had an oyster truck so I didn't get to try. Will be back! Upstairs is the tasting room but didn't get to go there either. Has nice indoor and outdoor areas. No games unfortunately (get some board games!)

This was the second time my wife and I visited the brewery. They have the best bathrooms in all of Beacon. They offer a variety of sours, they are very unique and different. I really like the descriptions on the beer menu. It offers a creative reference to help match flavors. The bartenders are always friendly and full of suggestions. The brewery has a modern feel. They also have a great indoor and outdoor space.

I recently held my round number birthday party (70!) at the upstairs event room at HVB and it was a wonderful experience. The venue, overlooking Fishkill Creek, is light and airy, more than large enough for my group of 70 guests. The tables were comfortable and Fancy Girl Table, the caterer suggested by the HVB owners, John Anthony and Melissa, exceeded our expectations. LOTS of compliments on the food. (We ordered mostly vegetarian but there was also one chicken dish.) Finally, I have to mention that John Anthony and Melissa and the bartender (Ben?) were gracious and helpful. It was really a perfect event.

5 stars from me!!! Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. There was a pizza truck outside and let me tell you, the pizza did not disappoint. The beer was fantastic. I ordered a fruited sour and it was SOUR!!!! The service was quick and kind. Perfect for a date or to hang with friends. I can't wait to go back!!

Good beer selection, good vibes but NO FOOOD. food that you see is from outside vendors that close much earlier than the brewery.

Unique and quality craft beer in a great setting Beer: excellent quality craft beer with some very unique offerings. We had on draft Silhouette Pineapple, a sour beer that was perfect for a warm July afternoon. Service: good Overall cleanliness: excellent Outdoor seating: clean and ample

One of the best breweries I've visited. They are known for their sour beers, and even though it's not my favorite style, I really enjoyed the different ones I tried. They have a pizza oven downstairs that makes a few different styles of tasty personal sized pizzas. The brewery tasting room is modern/industrial and pretty large. Highly recommended.

What a very special place with such nice staff. The pizzas here are also really great! The beer selection is great. Large parking lot and some outdoor seating. When I went during a weekday, the brewery didn't have heaters outside. It may be different on the weekends not sure. It's nice to sit outside so dress warmly in the colder weather. an abundance of indoor seating. Thank you so much!

Do you like sour beer? If so, look no further. This place is for you! BEER: Generally, the only beer I drink is sour beer. This place is basically heaven! They have 4oz pours, so I tasted 5 different beers with my companion. They're known for Sour IPAs, which are very tart and not bitter at all. My favorite is Amphoria (got at 8oz pour of that one!) SERVICE: People working here are super nice! AMBIANCE: There's indoor and outdoor seating, casual vibes. Great spot! Very cute, plenty of parking. Great date spot :) OVERALL: I will most definitely be back for sour beers! I've already searched where they distribute around me in North NJ (not a lot, please distribute more here!!!)

Hudson Valley Brewery was the last stop during a day trip to Beacon, and it did not disappoint! Nice spot with both indoor and outdoor seating. Lots of beers, ciders, and sours to choose from with the option of a half pour so that you have the opportunity to try them. I'm big into sours and really liked the Amorphia. We ordered a margherita pizza from the Groundlings truck that was onsite, it totally hit the spot! Really fresh and flavorful. Would love to have stuck around a bit longer and tried more sours but we were kind of in a rush to beat Sunday traffic on the way home. Would definitely come back here!

Came here before heading back to NYC for the night and I wish it was closer so I could come every weekend! Such a cute brewery to go with friends or on a date. the openness of the different seating areas is cool if you want to mix and mingle and if not the have single tables. When first getting there and seeing the line for beer it's a bit intimidating but it takes about 15 mins til you get to the counter. There's a lot of beer selections on the menu so it gives you time. Aside from beer we were hungry and got 2 pizza pies to share from the truck outside the brewery. One pictured is the pepperoni with a chili honey which was SOOOO good I wish I could have it again for the first time. The different draft beers we tried were all delicious each of them being 4oz each. I wish we had more time to try other drafts but we ended up taking a 4 pack home to try out. I would definitely come back here if i'm in the area again!

They update their tap lists quite often, and I've never had a bad beer from here. HVB is known for their sours and IPAs. I personally think they have some of the best sours I've ever had. Their lagers and pilsners are good too, but their sours and IPAs are where they shine. The pizza truck right outside the brewery is killer. Seriously, it was the best pizza I've ever had. They are gourmet style pizzas that are really innovative. The wood-fired oven gives the dough an irresistible crisp. If you like sours, IPAs, and pizza; I 100% recommend this place. Great place to have a great time with friends. The people are super nice too, one of the ladies gave me a free 4 pack with my order! That's how you build relationships and keep people coming back.

Nice selection of beers, nice establishment and people. I thoroughly enjoyed their Sky Thing Double IPA!!! We ordered a pizza from the food truck and that was absolutely delicious and complimented the beer! Only bummer was they closed at 8pm - I could have stayed longer, had more beers and another pizza!! I would most definitely go back and I hope to find their beer here in NJ!!

Dogs are not allowed on premises. There's a pizza truck that was here on the Sunday that I came out and that pizza is truly stupendous. I am in love with the 2 sour IPAs and have never had anything like it. I'm still thinking about those sour IPAs. It's by far the best I've ever had.

Unfortunately, I just found out about this place in quarantine times. Fortunately, they ship beer. I've ordered from them the last two weeks and the beer is phenomenal. The one I had last night (Inflorescence) is one of the best beers I have ever had in my life. Can't wait to visit when this is all over.

Ok, unpopular opinion here! Haters, please be kind! The place is quite huge and Is right by the deserted train tracks, so hard to miss. My friends and I were here after reading the amazing reviews this place had and we ambitiously ordered all the 9 beers on the menu (the 4oz of course) to pick what we liked the best. Sadly; they were quite disappointing to (all 6 of) our palates. If I had to rank them - Incandanza, multi chorus and the grapefruit one were OK and we ordered the 20oz. The others were quite a buzzkill. They have a pizza truck and the pizzas were bomb! We got the old fashioned, pepperoni and margarita pizza and those were fire! Literally and figuratively! Honestly, I think that's what got us through the beers lol. May come back for pizza when in town again and may give the beers another chance!

Please update your info on Google and yelp. Says "Dogs allowed" :/ walked two miles with our dog and got turned away. Which I understand but please update your information. Saw 3 other dogs w / owners in the parking lot that were probably banking on the same thing.

My friends and I visited for the first time last week since the new tap room opened and it's very nice! Super spacious with plenty of seating inside and on the patios. And their beer selections are great. Was sad to see that groundlings was no longer there. We tried the new pizza vendor and were disappointed. The pizza we got came out burnt and was inedible. We'll be back for the beer but not the food

This place was fun. I stopped here on a weekend and it was pretty busy when I was here. There was a live band playing inside and all of the seats were taken but there was standing room around the bar area. There were more seats available outside in a lit area. There was also a good truck. They had lots of options on tap and there were also cans available for purchase to take home. This place is sort of out of the way. But, I would probably come back here for an event or for more live music.

The vibe is real chill and casual which is great for all sorts of small groups. There's room inside as well as outside and has its own parking lot which is a win for beacon! It's also just across the street from the great shops of beacon. The beers for sure lend themselves to sours which is not exactly my #1 choice but the flavors are of the most interesting I've tried! So if you love sours, you'll love the entire experience! The pours all vary in size but are all very affordable. Smallest pour of 4oz is $3 and it's often a generous 4oz. They serve some hard seltzer's, some wine, non alcoholic drinks and kombucha as well! There are cans to go and also have food options. We tried four- the two in this picture are the Glycerin (left) and The Secret Life of Plants (right) both have an explosion of flavor! The secret life of plants was my favorite of these two; it's also a collab beer with Root + Branch Brewery from Long Island who also make great beer as a small brew company and are hard to come by! The other two we had was Double Pillow Hat which was closer to what I usually opt for (IPA and Hoppy) and the Table Beer was the other beer which was suuuper sour and wild!

Cool place great beers however the ones we wanted to purchase to go had run out Ambiance was cool liked the vibe. Service was great.

Mediocre beer, rude staff. Food truck was fine, but don't expect much, Take your money elsewhere. Plenty of breweries that are dog friendly. Strange crowd too,

Amazing beer, annoying hours. This brewery is a quite a trek for me (60+ miles), so I'm probably only going if I happen to be driving through the area. It just so happens that I was in the area three times in the last six months, and the first two times it was on a day they were closed. Finally managed to be driving through on a day they were open and I gotta say, the beer is worth the hype. If you like sours, this is heaven. If you have a friend that doesn't like beer, they will like this beer. Thank god they don't ship to New Jersey or else I'd be a broke, 300 pound alcoholic. Cozy place with a chill vibe. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. And I love the variety of pours they offer. Quite simply an elite brewery that I'd be happy to schedule my road trips around.

Hudson Valley Brewery was such a great spot I came from NYC to hike Mount Beacon and afterwards we visited the brewery. They had lots of great options to choose from. I got the sub glitch and what I really liked about the menu is they had what the beer tastes like in addition to the ingredients definitely would go again and suggest others to visit

Oh, em, gee! Talk about the BEST BREWERY IN THE HUDSON VALLEY! Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating (perhaps not in the whoooole Hudson Valley) but just try it for yourselves and see! I've heard so much about this place through many friends and truthfully never really wanted to go to it since there are so many other breweries around. This all changed when one day, I went over a friends house, he offered us a beer, asked me what I wanted. I said: "surprise me." I've had sours before and I'm a true fan. When I said "surprise me, I wasn't surprised. I was blown away! I tried the "bloom" batch and oh my goodness. That sour, red beer, stole my heart. I went crazy looking to see where they sold some nearby, and of course, no one does. Hudson Valley Brewery sells exclusive beer, not sold in stores or anywhere else. Some places only have it on tap. I want in on this, so I had to go personally to try the full experience. After grabbing some food on Main Street, we decided to go grab a beer. I was going just for "bloom". To my disappointment, "bloom" was sold out. My world fell down right that instant. Line was out the door, my beer is gone, now what? One of the guys working at the counter made sure to offer me a quick alternative that was similar to "bloom": "gemheart". Wow. This sour tastes exactly as described: berry açaí bowl! We also ordered the "hiding place": Aperol Spritz, Fanta, focaccia. Serious orange citrus overload. My overall experience at the Hudson Valley Brewery was all thumbs up. It's not a huge brewery, there are some benches and seats inside (it was very packed on a Saturday afternoon). Since it was nice and sunny on this cool winter day, we went outside and soaked up that sun with our fresh, cold, sours. Also got our puppy fix since some awesome humans brought their pups (they're pet friendly, WHICH I LOVE!). If you're hungry, there's a food truck where you can grab a quick bite to pair with your beer. Make sure to take home some cans and stock up on your favorite beer before it gets sold out!

If you like craft beer or just want to try something different this is the spot for you. This was our second visit and each time it gets better. You can expect a line when you get here so make sure you have plenty of time! I have never seen such unique beers! My new favorite is one called " the problem with other people's minds" it delivered a wonderful taste that reminded me of cherry cough drops. They also had a strawberry cheesecake beer that was outstanding. It is nice and roomy with plenty of tables unlike a lot of other breweries where you end up standing a lot. Makes you want to stay all day! They don't have food but I did see a food truck there today that people were saying good things about. There were also plenty of adorable pups on the patio!

We're not deep into beer, probably drink it every so often but I like that our tour guide took us here to show us a different variation of beer we can enjoy. The sours, ipa, and lager beer they create here do cater more towards hipsters, things are sold out quickly, but worth a try. Also pre-covid they had a nice tasting room set up, out in back in the huge room that opens to their outdoor seating, it was crowded but that's how you know it's good! Pink Guava and Red Currant- 8% double fruit sour DIPA. Pink guava, red currant, milk sugar, mosaic. They described it as drinking a liquid pink starburst and it tastes exactly like it. Tasty and sweet for a sour! Boysenberry- 8% double fruit sour DIPA. Boysenberry, milk sugar, El Dorado. Has a smooth sourness to it with a subtle tangy bite. Very good too! Overall Service: These guys know how to throw a tasting. The room was filled, the line was constantly moving, everyone has a glass filled with their deliciousness and having a good time!

Hudson Valley Brewery is one of my favorite place in Beacon. HVB serves highly creative, occasionally mind-bending beers in a big, friendly brewery setting by the creek. A food truck on site serves some of the best pizza in the Hudson valley. The only reason I don't go to HVB more (and this is true of many of my friends) is that the beautiful outdoor area is, strangely, not dog friendly. If HVB were to institute a new policy that friendly, well behaved dogs are welcome outside, I'd be a very happy dude!

I walked in with my daughter on Father's Day for a drink. Bartender's actively ignoring me. It's disgusting to think of them. They were thinking it was an older man with a young girl. Served the four people that came in after me.

No cap, this is the best brewery in the Hudson Valley. My friends and I stopped by on a break during our drive upstate and exploring Beacon. We were truly shook by how amazing the beers here are and definitely recommend coming here. Here's what you should know: 1. The sour beers and specials are some of the best brews I've had. Just get them. All of them. 2. There isn't a dedicated outdoor seating stop but plenty of public space nearby to sit down and drink beer with loved ones. 3. The designs for the cans and brewery are some of the most stunning brand graphics I've seen. Each beer has its own one... and they're all so pretty. 4. The brewery also has cool swag. If you're in Beacon or driving around the area, you need to stop by the brewery. It's one of the best practices to go to get beer in upstate NY.
