Awesome spot. Hard to fault them for the selection as they serve their beer mainly with some of the parent companies’s offerings. You aren’t there for the wide selection. As hard as it is to get to, it would definitely be worth the trek.

Another one of those “whoops, how did I never rate this place?” place ratings. I honestly can’t say that I’ve ever been here at a time that wasn’t Belgium Comes to Cooperstown weekend, but that will likely changed next time we’re on a trajectory that puts them within a half hour detour range. In the last couple of years the retail areas and bar areas have been added and upgraded and they are just gorgeous. All of the staff that I’ve come into contact with through volunteering at BCTC and being a customer up there are great. Certainly worth a visit, and especially worth going to BCTC.

Tucked away in the countryside of Cooperstown, NY. It is very picturesque indeed. I would love to attend a beer Festival here! The tour guide was new and although he did have a lot of knowledge, he really didn’t know how to speak in front of a group. Plus we had too many people in our tour. I missed a lot of information, simply because I couldn’t hear him. The beer tasting was what everybody wanted, and it was all the standard brews. I really wish I could have gotten something limited while I was here. (oh well, Guess I have to attend a beerfest here) They had the normal run of beers in the café as well. Plus they only have snack foods and Belgian waffles, so don’t expect a meal if you want to eat in the restaurant. It’s a nice looking brewery and I got to say, if you are heading to the Baseball Hall of Fame, you better stop here. I will give it another try someday.

My inlaws have a lake house near here so I stop by quite a bit. One of prettiest breweries I’ve been to. They built new eatery which isn’t quite done but the food was decent. the tour you get there standard year round brews which are all excellent and they had other special beers on tap including some Belgiums. their beerfest, BCTC, is one of my favorites. so overall i love this place.

I stopped in for a visit after a long business meeting in Cooperstown and was pleasantly surprised to find they were going to be open later than usual because they had live music. I went on a brewery tour which was a little over-scripted but pleasant enough. The tasting afterwards included seven of their beers on their back patio. In addition to sampling the seven beers, they had several taps at their inside bar with a number of other beers available. I had a glass of Duvel on draught, Liefmans Cuvee Brut, as well as a new beer from Ommegang called Aphrodite. The staff were all friendly and the place had a definite charm to it. I would have rated Ambiance a 5 except that the stench from their dumpsters overwhelms you as you walk through their parking lot. Other than that, my visit was delightful.

Visited in August when it was like 150 degrees. Loved the free tour as well as the tasting. I realized I’d been consuming most of their stock at way to cold a temperature. I’d love to go back when they build the new restaurant.

Driving about yesterday we stopped by the much spoken of Ommegang Brewery. A pleasant drive up and thru to the parking area delivered us to a few minute wait till the next tour began.. Smaller than I had expected, this place must be running at 100% to meet their distribution range. the tour was given buy an enthusiastic youth in a serious need of a videotaping to inform him that HE DOESN’T NEED TO FOCKING YELL AT THE TOP OF HIS FOCKING LUNGS TO GET HIS POINT ACROSS!....Jerk. He also needed a haircut, yet he kept the tasting moving thru the seven selections...hoping for the Beer De Mars but alas I was crestfallen. The chocolate addition with their 3 Philosophers was a nice serendipitous discovery. Prices on norm but nothing special.

If you live in America and say you love beer and never attend BCTC, then I will call you a liar. The brewery itself does not offer a tremendous selection, but it’s in a beautiful valley, and man, is it ever a great place for a festival.

It’s hard to believe this little "farm house" brewery puts out enough beer to distribute to 48 states! If you are in the area then it probably means you are here for baseball - either for the Hall of Fame or the Dreams Park tourney, or both. Either way, sneak over here for a tour and tasting. It’s free and oh so good!

After a high stress drive trying to find the place we walked into this picturesque little brewery and asked a young gentleman at the counter if we could take a tour. We were informed that if we ducked into the tasting room that the prior tour would be tasting in five minutes, that we could get in on that then he’d take us on a tour and do another tasting. Suffice to say this guy was awesome enough. The first tasting did a side by side with fresh Ommegang Abbey and the Cave aged counterpart which was dramatic and awesome. The tour was nice and it’s amazing to see the output of this little brewery. The second tasting was filled with much beer talk, invitations to Belgium comes to Cooperstown, offers of bottles of Duvel and plenty of delicious chocolate and cheese. The gift shop is nice and plenty of fine glassware and cave aged ales can be had there.
