Great beer and a great atmosphere. I love seeing the goats, I love the fact that they leave flowers for the bees, andI love the fact that it is a relaxing setting. I normally go up for the pottery classes that are held there, but never leave without buying numerous bottles of beer. The owners are very nice to talk to and are happy to let you taste beers, explain about how they are made, etc.

Great farm brewery with lots of sour/farmhouse style beers, and a few others too. Good outdoor and indoor seating. $5 for 6oz, $8 for 12oz pours. They have goats too!

What a special place. Peaceful, beautiful setting and wonderfully renovated old farm and barn. Unique beer. And the owner, Evan, is friendly and delighted to share the story and photos of the making of Plan Bee Brewery. And it's right here in Poughkeepsie NY.

Plan Bee Brewery is the quintessential farm brewery—rustic, remote, and brimming with charm. Set off the beaten path, this family-friendly environment welcomed us with goats, chickens, a bonfire pit, and a relaxed outdoor space. The small indoor taproom is cozy and perfect for small groups looking to slow down and enjoy unique spontaneously fermented beers. Yes, most of their beers are spontaneous style, brewed with wild yeast from the farm, giving each batch a unique character. Our favorite beer was Pepper—a spicy, layered creation brewed with eight pepper varieties grown right on site, including habanero, ghost, and Thai chilis. The heat wasn't too bold, but it was a little wild, and totally fitting for this places rustic vibe. Plan Bee is a must-stop for fans of funky, farm-fresh beers 🍻

Plan Bee Brewery has a wholesome yet fun atmosphere. Their “farm-to-glass” brews are full of local flavor, and the setting makes the experience memorable (and instagramable) The brewery is super dog-friendly, and I saw plenty of families with kids enjoying the open space. Adorable goats and chickens roam the farm, adding to the charm. Whether you're sipping a farmhouse beer or just soaking in the laid-back vibe, this place is a gem. If you love craft beer, cute animals, and a relaxed setting, Plan Bee Brewery is a must-visit!

This beautiful, laid back farm is a hidden gem in the Town of Poughkeepsie. The proprietors, Evan and Emily, are warm, welcoming, and engaging. The beers are creative farmhouse style sours. And, if that is not to your taste, they also have a smooth lager on tap plus an assortment of local ciders, wines and non-alcoholic beverages. Family friendly with lots of room for kids to play or to check out the chickens, goats and other critters. Quintessential Hudson Valley.

Plan Bee Brewery is an absolute gem! Not only do they offer fantastic beer and delicious food, but there's also plenty to do for visitors of all ages. The brewery is home to goats, chickens, and baby ducks, and they even produce their own honey. The expansive property is perfect for kids to run around and explore. If you're in the Poughkeepsie area, I highly recommend checking this place out. It's easily accessible by bike, as you can ride there from Hopewell Junction or downtown Poughkeepsie using the Dutchess Rail Trail. Both routes offer a scenic and enjoyable ride, adding to the overall experience. Plan Bee Brewery is a must-visit destination for anyone in the area!

I love Plan Bee Farm Brewery! We drove up to the brewery and were immediately struck by the beautiful surroundings. This definitely had more of a winery vibe but sold interesting beers. We tried all 8 beers they had on tap that day...they offer tastes of each beer for free, and then half pours are $5...all in all, super reasonable. The beers were all light and flavorful, there will certainly be something for everyone in your group. Upon receiving our beer, we went to sit outside and listen to the live entertainment. The man singing and playing the guitar and keyboard had a fun personality and clearly wrote many of his songs. This ever-talented man, after one of his songs, thanked us for coming out and shared that he is the owner of the farm and brewery and that we were experiencing the fruits of 13 years of work by him and his wife. How incredible! Not only is this a beautiful story of a family living the dream, it also made me want to return and spend more time there. There are plenty of chairs and picnic tables to sit at while enjoying your beverages and the music, but we saw an older couple bring their own chairs, which we thought was a good idea. In addition to the by-owner music, they have a variety of board games available to play, along with several bags sets. It's also a dog-friendly spot. If you're looking for a fun way to spend an evening, look no further! Can't wait to visit again.

Plan Bee is such a great spot. This summer I tried their pepper beer, and it's SO GOOD! It's like pepper jam without the sugar. It's perfect with a charcuterie board. They have beautiful land with chairs available, and they encourage picnicking and bringing your own food to enjoy with their beer. It's all locally sourced on their own land and the bar is in a 200 year old barn. It's beautiful. They even have their own bees! It's family owned and run, by a couple who are super laid back and fun and know what they're doing. Can't recommend it enough.

The beers here are unmatched by any place else I've been. I particularly love their Pickle beer and am regretting not grabbing another bottle! The bartender was kind and patient, always very friendly. I love looking out into the open field and feeling removed from the hustle and bustle.

The most delicious, farm to bottle beer that you can have. The owners put their passion and love into their beers and it was a great experience to have. The farm is really cute, well kept and it has a cozy rustic feeling that transports you the moment you step inside. Shoutout to the cutest dog greeter Jasper! So sweet and lets you pet him Can't wait to go back!

Wow, I cannot say enough good things about this brewery! The owners are friendly and passionate about their farm brewery. Everything in their beers is from New York State and many from the actual property, including items from their garden go into the various beers. Each Beer has a unique flavor and is seasonal based on local ingredients, which is awesome. You don't even feel like you are in Poughkeepsie because this serene and secluded location out in the woods is amazing and only about a mile from the downtown area. On the weekends, they have awesome live music and different food vendors that come-I was there when they had a pizza company making fresh pizza, which was delicious. A good friend of mine who doesn't like beer at all loved many of their fruit forward flavors. You can see the chickens on the farm as well as their goats if you go during the right time. It's absolutely worth the trip to this brewery and I plan to go back many times in the future! They sell most of their beers in bottles to go as well, so you can take it with you. I even bought some hard cider they had from a local vendor, which is my favorite cider now.

This was one of my favorite breweries from my New York trip. I love breweries on a farm. The quality is just *different*. Plan Bee does a lot of barn beers and spontaneous ales. Of the two, I prefer the barn beers. They have inside seating or outside with a few picnic tables or under a roofed area with a pizza oven pop up. The AC was broken so we couldn't sit inside (it was wayyyy too hot of a day). We tried sitting under the roofed area but the oven was too hot so we sat at the picnic tables near the house. For barn beers, I tried Pickle and Beltane. These are my favorites of the visit. Pickle beer is one of my favorite crazy beer flavors and this was PERFECT. It was mellow, not in your face of a punch. It was so crushable. The owners told me runners will come through and gulp one to refresh before continuing their run. I can totally see why, it tastes and feels so refreshing on a warm day. Beltane is more fruity and a little funky. It's a complex flavor that keeps you guessing what it is. For the Spontaneous Ales, I tried the cherry and apricot versions. Apricot was my favorite of the two. Cherry was a little too tart for me. I prefer funky over tart. Apricot was slightly tart and sweet. Overall, would go back again.

What a great place! The taproom is rustic yet modern, and the property itself is lovely--there's even a chicken enclosure! Warm, laid-back vibe in a quiet, bucolic setting. I think there were around 14 picnic tables scattered about, so it might be good to think about bringing your own chairs if you're going on a potentially-popular weekend (although we had no trouble at all finding seating on a fall Sunday afternoon). There are some tables under a roofed area, and a few other tables have umbrellas. The trees can provide quite a bit of shade. You certainly know what you're getting into as far as beverages if you look at their menu ahead of time. The Apricot (apricot) and the Morello (cherry) were sour-forward with notes of their respective fruits; the Rossi tasted mostly how an artisan soap store would smell, which is probably explained by lavender and mint being two of the foraged ingredients. I wouldn't seek any of them out again, but Plan Bee is such a nice little Poughkeepsie gem that I look forward to returning to try some other offerings.

Very much enjoyed this spot. I've had their beer in NYC before multiple times, and sometimes it hits hard, and sometimes I go, not for me. After showing up to the brewery/farm though, this place will stay in the positive category for me. Super nice employee, clean and welcoming spot, the music was pretty good too. Almost wish had more time to stay here before dinner reservation. Would easily recommend. Kid friendly, if there is music, I suggest bringing your own foldable chair if you have.

Great craft brewery. Found this place on Yelp while looking for places to checkout in Poughkeepsie. This place is cozy and homey. I got the Cellar Beer, which wasn't on the menu, but it is their house lager. It was phenomenal. They also had a pickle juice beer and a Carolina Reaper beer too. Both tasted great. The bartender was super friendly and taught us about the farm and apiary.

Among the slate of breweries that have popped up the last several years in NYS, Plan Bee stands out as special. I've been to a crapton of breweries, locally as well as across the country, and I've yet to find beer quite like here. Like sours? You better. While some blend the borders, everything they make here could be classified under that style thanks to the yeast they harvest off the honeybees on the property to make their beer. That's on top of all their ingredients being grown on property or on an adjacent farm. Translation: this is next level commitment. The property itself is beautiful. I had come years ago and they've built it up nicely with a ton of seating and a beautiful taproom space without losing the remote character. You would not guess this is 5min from downtown Poughkeepsie from the pics and the feeling in person is the same. Literally saw a bald eagle in the distance this past visit. It's tranquil as fuck. The beer is priced well for this type of place. Not everyone will appreciate it, however some who don't like beer normally may love this; my best friend hated beer his whole life, and this place broke him of that. Service is about as friendly and knowledgeable as it gets, given that the husband/wife team that runs the place are typically the ones serving you. My friends and I do a yearly brewery tour upstate, and this has been a consistent staple of that. This past visit the Cellar Beer, Breakfast and Morello were the winners for me. Hope they never change.

Nice cozy brewery hidden away at a farm. I went during the winter and I can imagine how this place is in the summer. The bar is nice and cozy. Very woodsy. For appetizers, there is a small offering of cheeses, cold cuts, crouton bread, and pop corn. You can bring or order your own food. Beer: Star of the show. My favorite beers were the pickle and hot pepper beer. Both were unique and very good. A-lot of the other beers did not have enough pow to make it memorable like these. Overall, this was a great experience for a farm to brewery setting. I brought my wife who doesn't drink so next time bring friends that do :)

Far from average! Great spot to get a taste of the Hudson Valley. The taproom is intimate, cozy and inviting. While the menu doesn't have recognizable beer names, the beer tender provided a thorough description of the beers offered; nice variety. I tried both the cellar beer and barn beer. Cellar was my particular favorite (pictured in the mug) So glad this spot has opened for dine-in as its walking distance from my home. Look forward to warmer weather days to enjoy the outside seating as well.

Excellent beer at a beautiful location. It is spacious with gorgeous scenery all around. Owners were kind and friendly. The Pickle beer was the greatest alcoholic beverage I've ever been blessed with crossing my lips and the Pepper one was great too!

A charming and unique craft brewery! We were so happy to find this hidden gem! Plan Bee is on the outskirts of Poughkeepsie. It's off the beaten track, but our map app took us right to it. Drive up a dirt road about 300 yards to get to the tap room. On a recent warm Sunday afternoon, the place was practically deserted, just the way we like it! Derrick was manning the taps. He's both knowledgeable and helpful. We had two wild sours which were perfect for the hot Sunday afternoon. We sat in the shade outside and enjoyed the country around us while imbibing excellent craft beer.

The absolute best brewery in town. My dad is a beer connoisseur and said it was the best beer he has had in his life. Beautiful view and owner is a very talented musician as well. Owners are great people, and perfectly embody the Hudson Valley vibe. An absolute MUST visit if you are local or visiting!

I visited Plan Bee Brewery on Saturday afternoon. I was visiting the Poughkeepsie area for the day so I could cycle the Rail Trail. I thought it would be fun to stop and visit some area breweries on my return trip. Sixth stop of the day: Plan Bee Farm Brewery. It's located on beautiful farmland on the outskirts of Poughkeepsie. They don't do taster fights, but they do have half pours. This was helpful for me, because I was brewery hopping and only wanted to drink smaller samples. I had half pours of "Raised Bed" (a saison brewed with lemongrass) and "Rose Hill #3" (a wild ale brewed with plums). They were both very good. They also had Valia's Wood Fire Pizza Truck on the premises that day. I was already pretty full from polishing off two pizzas at two other breweries that day, but the pizza looked too good to pass up, so I ordered a Margherita Pie to go. The grounds of Plan Bee are beautiful. It's very family oriented. I would totally feel comfortable coming back with my family, blanket/chairs, and having a picnic lunch with some tasty brews. I ordered bottles of the two beers that I sampled. I packed the bottles into my saddlebag, bungee-tied the pizza box on top, hopped back on the bike trail and headed back to the car. When I finally made it home, I put the Valia's pizza in the fridge. I heated it up in the next day and my wife and I shared it for lunch. Despite being transported by both bicycle and car, and then spending a day in the fridge, it still tasted really good. Plan Bee was easily my favorite brewery stop of the day. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. I would visit again if I'm in the area again.

The main reason why we came here in the first place is I was familiar with Plan Bee's beers from a craft brew store in park slope (Brooklyn.) When I found out they are based in Poughkeepsie I new we had to check them out. When we first drove up here me and my brother kept second guessing ourselves if we took the wrong turn because the dirt road up to the barn was super woodsy. As the name suggests this is indeed a true farm. All the ingredients they use are local and you can see their crops and animals everywhere. I believe we saw chickens while we were walking up to the taproom. This really added to the rustic atmosphere of the brewery and we have never been to a microbrewery like this one before. The beers here were also fantastic. Though expensive the flights we had were flavorful. I really enjoyed trying their "cucumber" beer though I don't think I would have that frequently. We also had one of their white wines which I really enjoyed. If your a fan of visiting microbreweries I highly recommend this hidden gem of Poughkeepsie. You might also be able to bring your family here considering the farm animals and the fact they have board games inside.

Plan Bee is a fantastic brewery! With so many micro breweries in the Northeast, it's nice to see one that has its own 'personality'. We are in the area a few times a year and we always make a plan to visit or least have our local family purchase our selection in advance. They are truly focused on local - only local ingredients used in their product and in some cases it's ingredients they have grown themselves. It's fantastic. Most recently I purchased Barn Beer, Fuggle, Tippette, Hay and was able to snag the highly coveted - BeeKeeper (1500mL) - monster bottle. Everything is so delicious - if you like a wild ale/sour type of beer, this is definitely place for you to visit. Not just for the beer, but for the awesome peeps and supporting their mission. if you're lucky you might catch live bands or a fantastic food truck.

Plan Bee is such a breath of fresh air. This farm/brewery is totally worth the drive. Its on a nice piece of property, with great owners and hosts. my friend and i stumbled here during covid to pick up local beer, and we were greeted by 1 of the owners. we grabbed beer to go, a tshirt, and a great tote bag. The beer itself is steep in price, but there are layers of flavor in every sip. The flavor profiles and usage of honey and other natural, farm grown ingredients, is what makes the beer stand out. i love the barn that is now turned into a bar and hang out area, theres plenty of parking, and even a stage for local entertainment. They also do pick up services for drinks, and have food trucks and establishments for drive up food events during covid. check out their site and sign up for the mailing list to be notified about their covid friendly events.

Great spot to visit on the weekends, especially on a nice weather day, so you can sit outside and enjoy the property. The tap house is so cute, the folks there are friendly and welcoming. Also especially helpful in trying to fit a beer that fits your taste - they gave me several to taste so I could decide. I chose the current beer, which was light and refreshing. They were making Bloody Mary's the day we visited- so my husband had one which was fantastic! I personally prefer to come when they have food trucks (check the schedule on their website) but they also hosts bands, so if you love live music - this is your jam. Property itself is vast and secluded they have picnic tables in both the sun and shade as well as fire pits so you could definitely stay and hang out here for hours.

One of my favorite breweries to hang out at upstate! I first had their beer at Ugly Baby in Brooklyn, and since then have always been looking for a chance to come out here to visit. The main tasting area is in a barn that shares space with their brewery tanks - service is super friendly, and absolutely love their beers. Some of my favorites are the Barn Beer and the Pickle. For those who don't drink beer, they have local wines as well. What really sets this place apart as good as the beer here is the vibe here. A perfect escape from the city, nestled in a wooded area, with lots of room for kids, pets, everyone to run around. So cool hanging out in barns with farm animals roaming around too. In the fall, this place is a dream and a must-stop for anyone in the area. Can't wait to come by again!

Finally popped in here on the first chilly weekend of the year and traveling the backroads to get to this location will make you believe you are lost... you aren't! It's just deep in the woodlands! Great location too when you venture around and see the small veg garden, meet the resident chicken and goats and play cornhole. Beers were extremely innovative and unlike others I have had. They made a pickle beer and a sour beet beer that I LOVED! I can't stand the smell of beets but this beer was auuuuhhhhmaaazzzingggg cant wait to come back! Love the rustic and beautiful barn they built as the tap room as well

I have to say: I love the products and the concept at this spot! Focusing exclusively on locally grown and sourced ingredients (including bees from right on the property!) this spot is the freshest of the fresh. I've had the opportunity to visit a handful of times in nicer weather, and you can take your glass outside to sit at a picnic table or bring our own chairs. Perfect for families, too, as they have little chickens, goats, ducks, and other things to look at. They have very minimal food (and none really child *super* friendly), so I'd recommend packing snacks for the little ones. Really enjoyed the authentic and laid back atmosphere here, as well as the logo and merch. Will be back!

Enjoyed a few beers at Plan Bee Farm Brewery on Saturday afternoon. A very focused brewery, so those looking for a variety or who are picky may not love the beer, but everyone will love the space. Quality: Plan Bee Farm Brewery is all about wild ales. This is not a brewery you should expect to find an assortment of different styles, they focus on one type of funky beer, and do it in a few different ways. During our visit I tried Kimet, a barn beer with cherry, Pompatus, a barn beer with peaches, Tippette, a summer wild ale, and Royal Jelly, a wild ale in whiskey barrels with honey. I tended to like the wild ales a little more than the barn beers, with Royal Jelly being the highlight. With the additional zest from the whiskey barrels, it has a level of complexity the other beers missed out on. During our visit we also enjoyed Olives, Cheese, and Meat, little packages of snacks, which work great between sips of beer. Quantity: Full pours or bottles. They require a food purchase, so definitely check out the fridge, as sizable packages of Olives, Cheese, and Meats are much better options than a bags of chips. Value: $7 for a Draft Pour. $6 for food snacks including Olives, Cheese, and Meats. Ambiance: Plan Bee Farm Brewery is located in Poughkeepsie, but a little outside the city area. When driving out you quickly go from city streets to dirt roads. The farm is a wonderful environment for a sunny afternoon. The actual barn is used as the taproom, which was mostly for just grabbing beers, but I assume can convert to indoor seating when the weather shifts. Outside is a large grassy hill, with some picnic tables and chairs. A stage sits towards the middle, and we had a blues band playing tunes. Some animals were wandering around, but most stayed away from the guest areas, likely because of the number of dogs. A idyllic spot to spend an afternoon. Crowd: The brewery was very busy on a gorgeous afternoon. Many folks, who I assume were repeat visitors, knew to bring blankets, lawn chairs, and snacks. Service: They were having some issues with the taps, so getting beers was a little slow. Appreciated the way they set up the line to encourage social distancing as you wait. Parking: Plenty of parking on the property.

I've heard about Plan Bee and wanted to check them out so last fall we took a lovely drive up north to visit. The brewery feels fairly hidden and it's especially lovely in the fall. Unfortunately, the beer was kinda terrible. I get that sour beer is not for everyone and there are those who love sour beer to death. I've had sour beer and fruit beers that I enjoy but unfortunately, I found the beer here rather terrible.

Strong farm brewery with a super interesting collection of beers. Lots of places to sit outdoors. Kids playing ball. Nice way to while away the day. Tip: just off the Dutchess County Rail Trail, so stop in for a pint on your next ride.

Great spot a little off the beaten path. Came here in the cold months so I did not get to enjoy the outside as much as I would've liked but it seems primed for great summer and fall weather. Had a barbecue pit going when I came. The taproom is a little small but cozy. Beer selection is different but very good.

Wow. As a dedicated wine enthusiast, I've been tempted by my beer drinking husband to cross over to hoppy goodness. It took a while. Visiting Plan Bee yesterday gave me the shove I needed to say I've graduated into yet another vice. Evan, the alchemy, genius brewer, captured peppers in a bottle of brew that made my mouth say wha..? Evan, you made me a believer.

This place is great! Coming up on a small road you can tell it's a small barn house, which is converted into a brewery. There are some free roam chickens, a closed gated garden and a separated barn house with some goats. The place has a nice, easy going vibe to it. There are a few games to play with people and a stage that's set up for future events. Inside the converted barn house is a modernized bar with an open space showing you the actual brewery. The brews are 100% home made with localized collaborations and different flavors of brews. The person tending the bar, Derek, is very nice. The ambiance of the place is very clam. I recommend everyone to visit this farm and try out some of their brews and enjoy the outdoors.

This place is huge. Nestled on a farm, obviously, this brewery is huge! It also offers a pretty good selection of beer as well as some wines. You are able to buy a variety of merchandise as well and you can buy their pre-established bottles. The beer is okay, a lot of it is kind of tart so make sure you know what you like before visiting. One of the cooler things is that everything is sourced in New York State, and a lot of it from the local area in general. The Pepper beer is pretty good, different from most because it has the spice after the taste. Would definitely recommend.

We had such a nice time at Plan Bee. I love sour beer and theirs was delightful. They had live music, everyone respected the social distancing and there was a food truck there as well. It was a great afternoon listening to the music, drinking the different beers and looking at the ducks and chickens!

We made a short stop here on our drive to Albany. Very cool and rustic little place that is well worth a visit if you are interested in trying craft beers. We sipped on four different half-pours and were happy to sit and enjoy the atmosphere on a Friday afternoon. We are not IPA fans and were able to find a number of options that we enjoyed. The place was pretty much empty when we were there, but I can see how this is a popular local spot.

Simply some of the best beers I have ever had (the ginger and barn beer). Originally I had this beer at Momofuku Ko's tasting menu and eventually made my way to the brewery for more. If you are around the area, this place deserves a visit.

If I was more into sour beers I would have rated them higher. That being said the atmosphere is very rustic and laid back. The bartender was very friendly and helpful. Although not my personal preference for the types of beer everything I tried was very fresh and I did like a few of the beers. They also serve wines which was good for my wife. They have very limited food menu but you can bring your own. I'm sure I will be back as it seems like a cool place to hangout in the warmer weather.

Knowing I was an avid beer enthusiast, a wonderful client of mine gifted me with a few bottles of highly rated craft beers from local breweries. One of those bottles was Plan Bee Barn Beer. I immediately fell in love with it. I have since ordered a case from their distributor online which was incredibly convenient, albeit a bit pricey (but I believe you get what you pay for, so...quality bottles, well-packed, quickly delivered, so...not pricey!) . I just ordered their "Garden Beer" to try, can't wait! I am looking forward to making a trip up to the brewery this summer. If you love zesty, "funky sour", refreshing witte beers, this beer is your beer.

Steven B must own this place because my wife and I nearly spit out their Pisswater. We dumped it in their grass... we felt bad for the grass. Cool vibe but idk what all these reviews are smoking... if I could try whatever their smoking maybe I would enjoy the beer too.

Excellent brewery and so low key and personable! The beer was great.. just what we were looking for on our trip to the area. Our host of the afternoon was Max and he was super knowledgeable and passionate about the beer made here at this establishment. He set us up with what he felt was the proper order of tasting all this goodness. We tried a 1/2 pour of everything and left with a bunch of bottled goods for later consumption. We will surely be back!!

Almost don't want to write a review because I don't want people to know how awesome this place is. But wow. We visited this place a few years ago when it was just a beer tent and some goats in the field. This beer is distinguished and delicious. We LOVE NEIPAs, but this place has stolen our hearts. Barn beer (pictured and my husband's all time fav)) is hands down a true blue go to. We also favor Futsu. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything they brew. It's all foraged and local which is the name of the winning game in the micro craft brew these days. Thank you Plan Bee for being unique for us beer lovers. Stay the way you are.

If you're a fan of sours, this is the place to go. With an array of different honey-infused beers, Plan Bee also uses 100 percent New York-based ingredients. Plan Bee has an amazing farm aesthetic, is dog-friendly and a perfect gem just waiting to be found.

Stopped in on a group run, lots of brightness in their future. Beer is tasty, definitely a craft brew flavor, no main stream beers here

Our favorite place in Poughkeepsie! Love the beer, the owners and the bartenders. The farm is peaceful and helps slow down the pace of life.There's a new outdoor stage with live music in the warmer months. A gem of a place!

Awesome experience here. The beers are fantastic and so are the people who run the brewery. It's great to try so many local ingredients bundled up into quality brews. I especially enjoyed a seasonal beer called Surf and Turf, it had an amazing savory flavor with a pop of basil - just perfect! We came on a nice sunny day and it was great to just sit, sip, and enjoy the sun!

I love this place. So charming and the beer is fantastic. There is often live music and they bring in various food trucks. A great place, you feel like you are out of the way without having to travel far from Poughkeepsie proper

Great beer with super friendly staff and company at the bar. The drive back to the tasting room had us wondering if we were in the right place, but in the end that just added to the experience. The tasting room itself is a beautifully built/restored barn with a great, hand-crafted rustic charm to suit the crafted beers. The option of cold or warm bottles to drink at the bar or take home with you was great as well. We'll definitely be back next time we're in the area.

This brewery is a bit out of the way but so worth the drive. It's down a dead end street in a residential area. The rustic charm so fits the great unique beers they serve. Very cozy inside and out. Friendly staff. Bring some snacks and enjoy.
