"Spread out on an old hop house farm in Schoharie, Wayward Lane seemingly came out of nowhere when they won the New York Brewery of the Year award in 2023. How did they pull it off? By brewing consistent hit after hit, with crowd favorites plus some more experimental styles. You can pull up to the taproom and enjoy a crisp, easy-drinking pilsner like Sanson or Foment or one of their many hazy IPAs, while also expanding your palate with a 12% stout called Hunk or a berliner sour like Merlin in Berlin. The taproom is usually playing ‘90s hip hop, so if that’s not your style, venture out to explore the farmland or sit in the barn where you can sometimes catch a local band. Wherever you land, definitely get some fried dumplings from the food truck before they sell out. " - keith hernandez

Delicious quality lagers, beautiful site in the countryside and very friendly staff. The food truck there (dumplings) was spectacular. I purchased a barley wine, looking forward to trying the barrel aged offerings! Beer served on keg, side pours, and cask.

My wife and I enjoyed a couple beers and relaxed on one of the many picnic tables available. They also have a barn with additional tables so there's plenty of room. I had the "Here on Out," a hazy IPA that was delicious. I bought a four-pack to bring home. They also had a food truck and we got an order of Lo Lo Beef dumplings (6 dumplings for $9), which were excellent. Very relaxing atmosphere. We even enjoyed watching some chickens and roosters running around.

Abbie, Andrew and Adam were super friendly. They had a great varietal of awesome beers from different genres and styles. Each style was done professionally, their glassware was totally cool the way the carbonation spiraled in the glass from their logo etching. Abby was talkative while I was ringing out didn't mind that there was people behind me yet attended to them in a timely fashion. Andrew was super friendly and told me how he makes an awesome pour with the carbonation and Logo etched glass and invited me to take as many cool photos as I wanted, with ideas. Adam took the time to speak with me even though there were other guests and a guest Brewer in the house, he never dismissed me, looked away, he remained a true class act and showed genuine interest. The venue is beautiful, the concept is awesome, I love the farm Brewery. Will 100% be back again. Great atmosphere and even greater people.

Great spot on the top of the hill. Loved the setting of it all. I wish we lived closer. Nice selection of beer.

We had a great visit to Wayward Lane Brewing this weekend. All of the brews were on point. It is nice to see variety instead of just IPA after IPA. We bought 4 packs of the coffee stout, cherry/lime sour, and cold IPA. The bartender was extremely friendly and knowledgable. The only bummer was that they no longer have chickens hanging around. My son was looking forward to them. No worries - it was still a beautiful place to enjoy a beer and we will absolutely return next time we're in the area. (As a side note, I though the dumpling truck was very meh for the price, but they are a separate business.)

Great beers, great service, and fantastic atmosphere. The chickens hanging out with everyone had me cracking up. Can't wait to bring my girl here.

Great brewery with delicious beers! One of the best sours I’ve had is any on their Merlin beers. Friendly staff and dog friendly. Sometimes a yummy food truck will stop by! Worth the trip there but they do show up to the Schenectady Sunday Farmers Market (I think Troy market also).

It's a little out of the way, but it's definitely worth the drive to get here (be careful right after snow). The space is comfortable, and everyone is quite friendly here. The brewery's dog may come over and nap at your feet for a while. The beers we had hit all the right notes. I loved the music they play here, this afternoon it was a just released album from an artist new to me In warmer weather, you have space outside too. I can only imagine how beautiful the area is during peak foliage.

Wayward Lane brewing is a great experience. They always have solid beers. I'm pretty sure they won a lot of awards at the NYS craft brew competition. The staff is always friendly. The location is absolutely beautiful. Schoharie is only 30 minutes outside of Schenectady.

One of our top capital region breweries to visit that checks all the boxes. It's a beautiful spot, a little bit of a drive from Albany, but worth it! Seating inside or outside depending on the weather, either way you'll get a view of the chicken neighbors running around. They're great entertainment! The beer is awesome and the variety will please everyone. We especially love how they elevate lighter beers making them shine where people often take them for granted. The service is always friendly and helpful. You won't be disappointed and you'll see why they have won awards!

One of the best breweries! Some of the best beer I've had in NY just amazing talented brewers. Small tasting room with light snacks, olives, and lite fare. There is a bee display on the wall which was really cool. Definitely a must stop if your in the area. Cheers

Have heard great things about Wayward since their opening. Finally made the drive to check it out ourselves. The taproom wqs delightful even on a rainy February Saturday. The reasonable ABVs and available half-pint pours enable us to try a majority of the styles on tap. All were absolutely top-notch. Beers were inventive and flawlessly brewed. The Kia Era (New Zealand Pilsner) was a favorite. The bias toward using local ingredients (like Hop House Honey in the Multiflora: Late Harvest) contributed to their overall appeal. To throw a cherry on top - the service was unfailingly friendly and efficient. A great stop-off and well worth the short drive from Albany. Can't wait to go back.

Good beers and a beautiful location. A great place to spend a couple hours on a summer afternoon. Family friendly and the baby had fun chasing around the chickens.

Awesome Craft brew and atmosphere nested in the hills of Schoharie, great brew and food trucks when available. Children and pet friendly. The help is friendly. A must visit for the beer lovers.

My new go-to beers 100%. I'm not super beer savvy, but these guys have opened my eyes to some tasty goodness and taught me so much about all things beer! Super cool guys, very fun to talk to. This place is an amazing hang out spot. Crack a beer, play some disc golf, hang out in the meadow, have a picnic, grab a tasty treat from the food truck... What else could you ask for?! My new favorite place! I absolutely cannot wait to try their spontaneously fermented beer

Hands down my new favorite brewery! The staff was so passionate about their product which comes through in the quality of their beer and the service was excellent. The vibe/atmosphere in the taproom were incredible then you step outside with a beer and enjoy the fresh open air on their family run farm. I highly recommend this brewery and I will definitely be back!

Going to a brewery is always fun, but to be at an awesome historic farm property enjoying some tasty drinks really makes Wayward Lane stand out. The beer is next level and there is always something intriguing to taste. Talking to the friendly and knowledgeable owners make you understand their passion for creating quality beer in an awesome outdoor setting!

Umm this place is beautiful- a lovely rural getaway if you're looking for one. As far as the beer is concerned, they have an impressive variety of styles, and you can tell this beer is made with love and precision - arguably some of the best brew in New York State. The staff there are so nice, and there's a very laid back, easygoing vibe to the place. All in all, it's a great spot to bring friends, family and a significant other. Would highly recommend!
