Ithaca Beer is a great brewery located in Ithaca, not far from Cayuga Lake and the upstate NY wine country. I stopped there multiple times when I find myself in the area, and the beers are well worth the stop. Even though I'm almost never a fruity beer type, I really like the apricot wheat beer. It's light, crisp, and doesn't have an overwhelmingly fruity flavor. Flower Power is a good IPA, but a bit too hoppy for me - Hop heads tend to love it. Cascazilla is probably my favorite. It's a dark red with a bit of a hoppy flavor.

Ithaca recently moved to a new larger building behind their old one. I haven't been there, but apparently they're serving food and the operation has grown significantly.

Update: I stopped back in at the new brewery. It's much bigger and nicer than what they had before. The food is good, but the servers were disappointing. Service was slow, and seemed fairly disorganized, which is surprising since they've had the restaurant open for over a year now - I would have expected them to work out the basics kinks at this point.

Doesn't look like much from the outside (GF asks, "We're stopping here?) but you can't judge a book...Beers were very good flavor, the Flower Power IPA was excellent but the outstanding one is the "Ten", a tenth anniversary beer. Looks like a red ale but definitely much hoppier, oh and 10% ABV doesn't hurt things at all. Got two 750's for the cellar. The gentleman who was pouring was knowledgeable and accommodating. There is beer to go, bottles and growlers, and brewing supplies. A nice surprise on a trip to wine country. Glad we stopped and would go again.

Have made a few more trips since the initial review. They've built a new place and it's quite cool. Flower Power and Cascazilla are still the bomb & they have some others that hit the spot. Stop in for a flight!
