There's plenty of parking right across the street from their new location in downtown Peekskill. They also have their own little parking lot, so although the place was crowded when I got there, parking wasn't an issue.

They had a good selection of guest taps, in addition to about 10 of their own house beers. Samplers/Flights didn't seem to be an option, but you can order half pints if you want to try several without going overboard.

I tried the CREAM Ale, Share the Rainbow (a Witbier), and the Simple Sour. The CREAM Ale tasted ok, but had an odd smell to it and overall I wasn't too impressed. The Witbier was crisp and tasty. The Sour wasn't overly sour, and overall I didn't love it but actually liked it more than I expected I would. A lot of their beer selection seems to be described as being hoppy, which I thought was a bit much.

The appetizers were tasty, but kind of expensive. Poutine was $8 for french fries and cheese, without gravy. The pickle platter was a selection of pickled vegetables in a very small mason jar. And they charged $8 for 6 bacon wrapped brussles sprouts. Again, the food wasn't bad, but certainly a bit pricey.

This person needs 3 or more reviews on the site for their scores to start counting.

I'm not sure why this location is listed as not being accessible by public transit. Peekskill Brewery is located within walking distance of the Metro North Peekskill train station.

That said, I find the outdoor sidewalk dining option very pleasant in the summer and early fall. Especially nice when there is a concert in the city waterfront park.

I found the food selection to be excellent. I really like the small and large plate options.

I went with the Sally Sweeney;s Oatmeal Raisin Stout. A nose of coffee, and chocolate with tastes of oats and raisins.

My third stop on my recent beer trip...

In downtown of Peekskill kind of tricky to get to off the main road since that road is elevated and you have to kind of come down and around to get to it..

I went into the entrance of the one street I parked on. It was the restaurant side and at 8pm was dead a few seat taken up. I asked for the bar and the hostess directed me to the back. Well when I got back there it was packed. A long bar with high tables being crowed it was tight walking thru. I found one seat at the crowded bar.

They had four Peekskill beers on and I had the IPA (Hop Common) which was good. the others were, there brown, a golden ale and a Vanilla bourbon Stout. There tap list of guest taps was very good IMO a lot of local NY stuff which was cool. Capt lawrence, Ithaca, Keegan Ales, Some NE beers, like Pretty Things, Berkshire, and Smuttynose. There Vanilla bourbon was ok a little hint of Vanilla.

Food menu was split into small plate and large plates pretty much same dishes just to sizes which was nice. i was not that hungry but want to eat, had a small bowl of the clam chowder which was really good and a small plate crab cake which was delicious as well .

I wanted to stay longer but it was too crowded for me and loud. I wish I would of made this top for lunch so i could talk a little more about the place and area with the bartender's

This place is a relatively short drive up the road from Captain Lawrence so its a nice before or after spot on a beer trip.

* My beer selection number is based on guest taps and not the 4 Peekskill beers on tap.
