The wines were good - a little on the sweet side but the Rose Shimmer and the La Crescent was nice - and paired well with the two delicious pizzas we got. My husband got the Cab Franc and enjoyed it as well. Both pizzas were a good size. We also had the Cab Franc Sorbet which was a delightful palette cleanser. The tasting room was bustling but not over crowded. All the staff were super nice and the chef even came out to check in on us. Really loved our experience and will return the next time we are in the area.

This past Friday I went to a concert at beak and skiff and it did not disappoint!!! I started with…read morea watermelon gin fizz, not too strong and definitely was delicious! The watermelon flavor came through just enough to where it wasn't overpowering. I shared a waygu burger and fries with my dad and it was definitely more than enough food. I was skeptical at first with the fries being around $6, but the portion was very large and definitely worth the money. The snack shack was packed but my food came out super quick and warm, the staff definitely knew how to handle a crowd!! We ended the night with a few cider donuts and a beautiful view!! Beak and skiff is definitely worth the hype, everyone needs to come at least once, and definitely for a concert!

**The following review is my personal opinion and based on my individual experiences**…read more It's disappointing to see a once-beloved local brand begin to resemble the kind of corporate operation it once seemed proud to distinguish itself from. Since January 2025, it feels to me like there's been a noticeable shift in Beak & Skiff's priorities. Pride-related messaging and products that were previously visible around June have disappeared. The Pride flag was temporarily removed during the Warren Zeiders concert last summer, only to be put back up the following day. Is that an insult to Warren Zeiders fans by assuming they're all bigots who would be offended by a rainbow flag? Whatever the reason for taking it down, the inconsistency raises fair questions for me about whether certain expressions of inclusion are actual values of Beak & Skiff's or simply marketing strategies when culturally "cool". It feels to me like recent changes reflect a greater emphasis on their bottom line being the priority now. A local organization rep I know told me that her recent request for a cancer tournie fundraiser basket was declined. And the updated property and programming, to me, seems geared toward ticketed events (nice to see they added women musicians to their live music schedule, though!). It feels like activities that once helped make the orchard accessible to a broad range of families at varying income levels now come at a higher cost. And the "patriotic" NYS fair drink was an interesting choice given the current political climate, in my opinion. From my perspective, Beak & Skiff now seems to be catering to a narrower demographic than it once did. The emphasis on community, accessibility, diversity, and inclusion feels considerably less visible than it used to. For a company that has historically presented itself as family-run and community-minded, that change is unfortunate and worth acknowledging...in my opinion, that is.

The 2023 Chardonnay wasn't for me (too buttery with a strong pineapple note), but everything else in the flight was great, and the 2023 Avail was my favorite by far.

Base my reviews off what you pay:…read more *Place was empty on a Thursday. Plan ahead, they have tight hours. Price - ~$50 (pizza, bottle of wine, tip) Food - 3/5 - good pizza, OK wine. Service - 5/5 - great recs, friendly. Ambiance - 5/5 - you know why you are here. Overall - 4/5 - went here on a whim for a night and turned out to be an awesome spot. Not the most impressive wine nor food but absolutely awesome staff and view. Bridget (hope thats her name?) was incredibly friendly and great the entire night, everyone on the staff was awesome. Skip the charcuterie board and get the Pesto Tomato Pizza. Wines were fine, can't recall any that popped out. And obviously the view. Not the best photos but this place is great and they have live music too. Staple stop in Skan no doubt. Best Dish - Pesto Tomato Pizza Would Return - Absolutely

The ambiance is great.... quiet and peaceful. Love the decor. Staff are very friendly. Super clean as well. It's a self-serve winery with many options. This was a modern and unique take on wine tasting. The only downside is that the bottles run out frequently and you have to wait for an employee to replace them. They also offer food. Today was their brunch menu. I tried the French toast, which was delish. I would def come back!

We had a very good time in the tap room doing a tasting of several of their hard ciders. Everyone we came in contact with was friendly and we even got to meet the beautiful dog Watson.

The lady at the counter saw the types of things I was choosing and made other recommendations based on it. Further, because I chose so many items I received a discount! Who doesn't love a discount? This store is located in Destiny USA, at the carousel entrance, across from Panera Bread. The store is sectioned off by spirits. They have packaged items you can purchase as gifts also. Their prices are well beyond reasonable. Some are honestly a dollar or 2 cheaper than the usual liquor store. They have a VIP club you can sign up with to receive notifications on discounts and sales. Plus you get discounts when you spend $100 or more. Even if you don't spend $100, there are other discounts for purchasing multiple items. If you like wine, they have a variety of choices from sweet to dry. They also have some in the cooler if you don't want to wait to have a cold glass of white. So next time you're in the mall, or near the mall, visit Sip Sip Hooray and celebrate whatever occasion you have. Or just celebrate the ability to get alcohol for a great price!

Everything is cash or card or both so ask which one they take. The exhibit buildings are spacious and easy to walk around in. Depending on what day you go the music entertainment can be good. Food is ok nothing special to get excited about. They should hand out maps as you enter so you can get a feel for where things are to see it to find that favorite food or entertainment; their online maps are not very informative.

Yeast - only Wyeast, some Danstar and Safale. NO White Labs. The yeast packest are never expired. The hops selection is decent. Pretty basic. If you're looking to brew a wicked IPA, you might not find the hops you're looking for here. They have beginner's kits and all of the equipment you'll need. I mostly stop in here for the little brewing bits that break or get dirty or that can be easily replaced, and they are priced well here. My biggest peeve is that they only carry Munton's ingredients (carb tabs, bottling sugars, spices, etc.) which are overpriced (due to the brand, not EJ Wren). Their ingredient kits look like they're from the 1970s. The staff is excellent and attentive, albeit a bit awkward sometimes. It goes with the homebrewing community well.
