Visited this brewery this afternoon and found it to be one of the best craft breweries in Upstate New York. We sampled four beers and found each to be very well brewed. The American Pale Ale had a nice Cascade hop character. Their American Amber Ale, called their Red Ale was a very good example of the style. Their seasonal, a Pumpkin Cream ale was extremely well done as was their Mint Stout. All of their beer was very well balanced with no off flavors. The assistant brewer was serving and certainly was expert on what he was pouring and a pleasant guy as well. We will return here and recommend it to anyone in search of examples of good brewing.

My recommendation here would be to lose the plastic cups and offer quality glass tasters. Their beer deserves better than cheap plastic.

The beer here wasn't spectacular, but nothing too awful either. The Wheat, IPA, and Red were all decent, but unspectacular. There was also a habanero pepper beer, which wasn't as bad as some of the other spicy beers I've had in the past - but certainly not something I'd want to have again (it just isn't my thing). The Nut Brown was decent, but had a strong coffee flavor. I'm not a big coffee fan, so it wasn't for me, but the others I was with enjoyed it.

I didn't like that the servers didn't seem to know much about beer. When we first got there, the girl serving us pointed to the sheet with the beer descriptions and told us to read it if we wanted to know anything, because she didn't know anything about it. Maybe the person working there should take the time to read the descriptions, too.
