Upstate NY for a 30th birthday trip. My boyfriend's all time favorite beer is Sloop's Juice Bomb…read more Little did I realize when booking the trip, that we were staying 45 minutes from the brewery. Obviously that meant a trip! The excitement was unmatched walking into the building. Peeking in the back where the beer is made, so cool. The open room of the venue itself was nice as well. Lots of merch, lots of beer to go. We purchased two crew necks, a hat, and some beer. The staff behind the bar were able to help answer any and all questions that we gave to them. THEN we sat down to eat. Juice Bomb pint (obviously) and a Happier Hours pint. Started with the chilequiles tater tots and holy heck those were delicious. We also ended up getting the Porky's Revenge sandwich and Sloop Smashed Burger....no photos though because we were too excited to eat!

Slow Fox Farm brewery is awesome. We always feel very welcomed by staff and owners…read more Slow Fox has a wide variety of beers that are delicious. My favorite is their hazy IPA, but I have tried all of them. They always have great food trucks available and snacks inside. The interior is very clean and cozy. We love to sit at the bar. The outdoors gets crowded on a beautiful afternoon, but there is always plenty of room to sit and enjoy the beautiful farm. We will definitely go back. I would highly recommend this place.

My GF love and I love coming here and getting a beer and comparing the IPAs. The space is very nice and the staff are very friendly. I would like to see them brew an aggressively hazy beer.

Stumbled upon this spot while in town and I'm so glad we did!…read more When we walked in, the place was packed inside and outside. They also had a food truck parked outside. They had a lot of interesting beers on tap. I tried their raspberry sour, which was super refreshing. My fiance got a style of beer he had never heard of, which if you know him, is not common. It was their Fountain Skibsol Smoky Ale, which is a low ABV Danish dark ale with an intense smoky flavor. It was great and we both loved the smokiness of the beer. We snagged a spot at one of their outdoor picnic tables and it was such an enjoyable evening. They had string lights outside and everyone we interacted with was so friendly. Definitely recommend West Kill for a great atmosphere and good brews!

Having Bluebird there cooking is a good idea though we didn't eat this time. My husband enjoyed the beer but I'm disappointed that you don't have lemonade or soda for those of us that don't drink beer. There are children that come with their parents and flavored seltzer really doesn't cut it. I bring my own lemon & mint water as I don't drink seltzer, a lemonade would've been nice. I think the tables could have been set up closer to the music. Great farm but lacking the ambience I feel. This is our second time there and I thought they vamped it up a little more, guess I was wrong

Suarez Family Brewery is a craft brewery that opened in Livingston, New York in August 2016. It was…read morefounded by husband and wife Dan and Taylor Cocalis Suarez. The couple first met when they both lived in Brooklyn. Dan started out as a homebrewer living in Brooklyn and eventually he got a job working for Sixpoint Brewery in 2007. He later connected with Hill Farmstead Brewery founder and brewer Shaun Hill. In 2011, Hill hired Dan to be his assistant brewer. The Suarezes left Brooklyn and moved to the Vermont countryside. After Hill took Dan on an inspiring beer trip in Belgium, the Suarezes began to look for a place to start their own family-run brewery. They re-settled in Livingston, New York because the Hudson Valley resembled the same idyllic, bucolic charm found in Vermont. The Suarezes set up shop in a disused, all-brick warehouse. Dan works as the brewmaster while Taylor runs the business side of the operation. The brewery specializes in lighter ales and lagers, or what Dan likes to call "crispy little beers". The same year they opened the brewery, the Suarezes also welcomed their first child, Enzo. Since opening, Suarez Family Brewery has gained a reputation for being one of the best breweries in the Northeast. I recently visited Suarez Family Brewery for the first time while I was driving through the Hudson Valley with my two sons. I had previously sampled some of their beer at a craft beer bar in Brooklyn, but a visit to the brewery had been on my bucket list for a while. A sign at the old brick warehouse informed us that the taproom had been moved to a new structure behind it. The taproom was small, but quiet and cozy. There were only a handful of other visitors during my visit. There was a table with scrap paper and crayons, much to the delight of my two sons. This kept them occupied while I sampled some tasty brews. The ones I tried were "Walk, Don't Run" (Hoppy Blonde Ale), "Crispy Little" (Hoppy Pale Ale), and "Backroads" (Sumac Country Beer). All three were great, but the latter was truly exceptional! I was VERY impressed with the types of beer coming out of the brewery. Before leaving, I also purchased a bottle of "Lo And Behold" (Barrel-Aged Flemish Red Ale) to bring home. I highly recommend Suarez Family Brewery to all serious craft beer aficionados!

Excellent draught and bottle offerings await as good-vibe music envelops you on your way in. Grab a drink (and one of their incredible pretzels), find a chair, and settle in - maybe pat the head of the inevitable doggo who'll lounge nearby, and enjoy yourself. And if you liked the on-prem stuff, drop by the to-go offerings on your way out. It took a special trip to get here, but the trip is often part of the point. Enjoy.
