Keuka Brewing Company

Decent place on the wine trail. The gentleman behind the counter was quite helpful. Decent selection of beers. Worth another stop.

The Keuka brewery is atop a hillside above the western shore of Keuka lake, which is shaped like a lopsided letter Y, giving the brewery its name and its symbol. The opening hours are seasonal, so check before you go. The tap room is fairly plain but it was very friendly and welcoming. Tastings were $3 and you can also buy growlers, t-shirts and other bits and pieces such as local photographs and pottery. (Visited 2 November 2012).

Brew Tour 2011. Nice place tucked away in the woods. Plenty of room inside and clean. We sampled a nice selection of beers. A friend bought some rootbeer.

keep working guys...great location. educate the locals.

The owner is really outgoing and friendly, which creates a great atmosphere. They haven’t been around for very long yet, but they do brew some very tasty beers. My favorite was their red, which my husband and I bought a growler of, and they had a delicious stout that had a coffee and chocolate finish. I also really liked that they kept small samples of the malt they used for different batches, so when you taste a beer they let you smell the malt so you can see what flavors come from it. I know I’ll be back there next time I’m in that neck of the woods!

Very small, very local craft brewer located on Lake Keuka in Hammondsport, NY. Brewing ales ranging from raspberry wheat, belgian witbier, pale ale, American red ale, AIPA, Nutbrown ale, and stout. $3 for unlimited tasting, and $2 off purchase of growler if you pay for tasting. Small gift shop sells merchandise and growlers to go. 22 oz bomber are to appear at a future date. Draught accounts are limited to a handful of local places in the Lake Keuka area. Beers a very well done, very flavorful, and a nice to be able to get good local beer in Finger Lakes wine country. Well worth a stop if you find yourself in the Finger Lakes area of New York.
