NAME: Industrial Arts Brewing Company
LOCATION: Gamerville
FAVORITE BEER: Industrial Arts Wrench IPA

Inside the Industrial Arts Center lyes a beautiful brick-laid brewery specializing in wheat-brewed blends. If you’re not a fan, they have plenty of other styles to choose from. Aside from the actual beer, the location is gorgeous and a perfect destination from spring to fall.

NAME: Hudson Valley Brewery
LOCATION: Beacon
FAVORITE BEER: Good Old Neon (Sour IPA)

We’re big fans of the ambiance here, it has the rustic feel you’d expect with the area, but with a modern approach that fits with a brewery of its quality. They’re probably one of the best breweries to visit on this list when it comes to the array and quality of their brew.

NAME: Brewery Ommegang
LOCATION: Cooperstown
FAVORITE BEER: For The Throne (Strong Golden Ale)

Any baseball fans here? While you’re visiting the Baseball Hall of Fame, you’re about 15 minutes away from this behemoth of a beautiful brewery. Surrounded by giant gates like the Wonka Factory, Ommegang is known for making some of the best Belgian ales around.

NAME: Defiant Brewing Co
LOCATION: Pearl River
FAVORITE BEER: Fake News (New England IPA)

You can find a warm, yet chill experience at Defiant Brewing Co. With a large taproom big enough to fit parties, fun tours and a delicious comfort food menu, you’re bound to have a great time. It’s definitely one of those places you have to go more than once.

NAME: Galaxy Brewing Company
LOCATION: Binghamton
FAVORITE BEER: Andromeda IPA

There’s a really cool brewery right in the heart of Binghamton that has everything from tours, sports leagues, music and delicious food. The revolving door of fun is guaranteed to keep you wanting to come back.

NAME: Cooperstown Brewing Company
LOCATION: Cooperstown
FAVORITE BEER: Squeeze Play (Double IPA)

Great for hops and even better for fun, Cooperstown Brewing Company is part of Cooperstown’s pledge to provide excellent drinks to the public. The town has an actual trail where you can stamp all of the breweries/wineries/distilleries for free merch. Check their calendar for all kinds of fun events they have going on.

NAME: https://commonrootsbrewing.com/
LOCATION: South Glens Falls
FAVORITE BEER: Continuum (Modern IPA)

Common Roots is great for going during the day, maybe before lunch. They have a nice little taproom and delicious beer available. The variety of quality probably stands out more than anything else, particularly with their hoppier blends.

NAME: https://www.sloopbrewing.com/
LOCATION: East Fishkill
FAVORITE BEER: Confliction (Sour Ale)

Get groovy at Sloop for an overall day (or night) of fun. Not only do they have good food, but we’d probably rank them as one of the better places to eat in the area and the menu is perfectly suited for what they have on tap.

NAME: Newburgh Brewing Company
LOCATION: Newburgh
FAVORITE BEER: GigaBoss DIPA

We enjoy Newburgh not only because of how good the beer is but because it’s more of a local hangout. Some breweries can get really loud and crowded, but this is more of a chill environment where you can enjoy a quiet setting.

NAME: Ithaca Beer Co
LOCATION: Ithaca
FAVORITE BEER: Flower Power

You can find a really unique beer experience at Ithaca Beer Co because of the experiments they run. They brew all kinds of Frankenstein-esc beers that are awesome for flights because they aren’t in distribution like their normal lineup.

These are our favorites in no particular order:

NAME: Barrier Brewing Co
LOCATION: Oceanside
FAVORITE BEER: Daddy Warbucks

Barrier is actually one of our favorite breweries, period. It’s obvious just how much time they put into their beer and it shows with every sip. Arguably some of the best IPAs we’ve ever had, between Daddy Warbucks and Money IPA.

NAME: Greenport Harbor Brewery
LOCATION: Greenport
FAVORITE BEER: Otherside IPA

Way out there on the east end, you can find the Greenport Brewery. They have like a shack/hall where they host their events, which doubles as a taproom. There’s not much other than fields around, so it forces people in and to come together. We’ve never not had a fun time here, especially when they have food trucks around (always the best).

NAME: Sand City Brewing
LOCATION: Northport
FAVORITE BEER: Burning The House Down

Another home for artisan beer, Sand City rivals the best. What the brewery/taproom lacks in size is made up for with quality and variety. Their shop is unique as well, they even sell soaps that smell like stouts!

NAME: Great South Bay Brewery
LOCATION: Bay Shore
FAVORITE BEER: Hoppocratic Oath

If there’s one thing Great South Bay knows (other than beer) it’s Long Island culture. Their brewery often hosts events, does giveaways, sponsors local events (like the Great South Bay Music Festival) and is just loads of fun.

NAME: Moustache Brewing Co
LOCATION: Riverhead
FAVORITE BEER: Scorpion Drawer

Located on Eastern Long Island, Moustache offers a more modern take on the East Coast Brewery. Like others, they’re tons of fun and host seasonal events, which are always fun times.

NAME: Oyster Bay Brewing Company
LOCATION: Oyster Bay
FAVORITE BEER: NE IPA

Living on the North Shore, Oyster Bay Brewing Company is a small, but energetic establishment. The taproom is nice and the selection is good enough, but we enjoy the location because you can get a bite to eat afterwards at Sweet Tomato or Taby’s Burger House. Food and beer just go together.

NAME: Blue Point Brewery
LOCATION: Patchogue
FAVORITE BEER: Beach Plum Gose

Blue Point recently moved locations from a small shack, to taking over an old campus on main street. With more space means they can brew more, with still plenty of room to entertain. Their pub is always fun with live music and they host seasonal events with games and contests, so it’s a cool place to hang out.

NAME: Montauk Brewing Co
LOCATION: Montauk
FAVORITE BEER: Wave Chaser IPA

WAY out east in Montauk, you can find… the Montauk Brewery. It’s another small brewery/taste room that’s right in town, near a couple of good pizza spots. Montauk is usually a pretty quiet spot, but crazy packed during the summer so pick your visit time wisely.

NAME: Spider Bite Beer Co
LOCATION: Holbrook
FAVORITE BEER: Open Wide DIPA

Spider Bite is relatively new, but man do they know beer! They’re kind of known for regularly producing high-quality concoctions at a fast rate. Their tasting room is open afternoons 5 days a week and is great for small parties.

NAME: Destination Unknown Beer Company
LOCATION: Bay Shore
FAVORITE BEER: Tripel Rainbow

Great for parties and events, Destination Unknown Beer Company seems like just that, unknown. And that’s what makes it unique and a great time. They have space for large parties where people can try new beers – what can be better than that??!?
