We finally visited Liquid State again and really enjoyed their beers: hefe, farmhouse ale, porter, and a barrel aged stout. The service was fast and friendly, and the seating comfortable. I think the wall decorations have changed and there is lots to look at! I definitely recommend this place! Liquid state is a comfortable walk from the Commons. There is plenty of parking north in their on lot and on the street. Easy to find! read more

Liquid State has a wonderful selection of beers brewed right on site. Very large space with two bars picnic table style seating and a very good pizza made to order in house. They have a stage in the back room often with some live music. Today there is an Americana bluegrass jam session going on with eleven very good musicians. Bonus being that it's a free event. trivia night is on Wednesdays. NIce selection of beers including local brews and my favorite the cloud swing Belgium style triple and hefeweizen. There is an also a nice patio out the back. read more

First impression is the staff is always so friendly every time I visit. It's been a few years and they've definitely done some updates to the inside of the building and it looks fantastic. The beer selection is out of this world and it is definitely always a brewery that I stop into and visiting Ithaca. There used to be a food truck out front not sure if that was just not there that night, but it was gone and there was a pizza special going on that everybody seemed to love. read more

The beer was really a great mix of options. Nothing was bad, especially for someone with a diverse palette. The specialties, like the bourbon barrel aged stout, set this brewery apart from so many competitors. I thoroughly enjoyed the variety. The bartenders were knowledgeable and personable. For a quiet Sunday it felt like a great Friday night (without the weird). read more

I love liquid state! I've been here multiple times this summer and it's a great experience each time. I've tried over half the menu and haven't tasted something I don't like. My favorite beers are the yard lion, the kölsch, and the sonic space. It's a major plus that silo chicken is available as well. When they are closed, the pizza offered at liquid state is also quite decent. read more

Classic brewery ambiance and atmosphere. We went here because of the food truck, but I'm a dummy and didn't look at the truck hours. Unfortunately they are closed monday and tuesdays! That's okay, we got a pretzel to hold us over until we could go grab dinner somewhere else. I don't usually like beer but the sour I got was fruity and delicious. It was a Strawberry rhubarb I don't remember the name. Staff was friendly and welcoming. read more

Took my parents there. Good beers, quick service. Good experience overall. I must add more for the app.

Nice little spot west of the commons... Nice sized outdoor seating area although they are offering indoor seating as well. Sampled the IPA flight and while it was good I would not say great. Not as hoppy as an other half - In fact we wondered if a couple of the beers in the flight had been mispoured... Service was super friendly and the soft pretzel delicious read more

Loved this brewery in Ithaca! I'm not from the area, so when I say that it's very conveniently downtown, take that with a grain of salt - but I thought the location was nice and easy to get to. Parking lot was a little tight for a large pickup to get through, but not a big problem at all. We tried several beers, all great! I particularly enjoyed the cider. And we thought the bartenders were super nice. It felt like a typical brewery inside - industrial, tall ceilings, metal, several long communal tables, high top, etc. Love the in house food truck. Ordering is really easy to do right from your seat if you want, or at their mini counter set up if you need help ordering. I liked that it was right inside, vs other breweries that have the food trucks outside and having to wait outside for your food, without your beer. :) Will def go back next time in Ithaca! read more

Very good variety of beers. Not all IPA's. Enough to please a variety of pallets. One minor beef, they didn't announce a last call and I was caught beerless as others in the group had them. They did safeguard my wallet when I left it there. Will definitely head back when in Ithaca. read more

I enjoyed my time at the liquid state brewing company. I got the strawberry rhubarb sour and it was so good. My bf got the stray dog porter and a 4 pack of local vibe ipa to go and said both were really good. I was mostly exited for the food truck that have here (Silo) but it was just ok for me. We ordered at the table through our phones. I got the gluten'ous' to the maximus. The chicken wasn't great and wasn't even hot when we got it. The mac and cheese was crunchy in parts. The fries were really good. They have an outdoor seating patio where dogs are allowed. It's covered which was nice because we were a little worried it would rain. Overall I'd go back for drinks but maybe try something else to eat or just get fries. read more

Great beers, good service. Just wish the food truck was open! But they did have pizza and other items available for sale since the food truck isn't open Mondays and Tuesdays. read more

We tried 9 beers (did flights and then a few extra) and every single beer was delicious. They have great sours, great stouts, etc, wish I had bought cans to bring home! We also tried the fried chicken food truck that they have out front and it was awesome. The chicken had a nice crunchy breading and the fries had a delicious green curry sauce. read more

Staff were so rude I didn't even get the chance to like it. I went to meet some friends for lunch on their patio area but had already gotten a sandwich elsewhere because it was a spontaneous last minute decision. I didn't know about their strict no outside food policy because I had never been before. That was my mistake; however, one of the staff approached me and pointed out this policy in a very rude manor implying I had to leave. I obliged and thought that was a one time bad interaction. Once I was outside I sat away from the brewery and food track planning on eating my sandwich and then returning to order a beer and sit with my friends. However, a different staff member came outside to tell me I couldn't eat anywhere in the area, even though I was not in their restaurant or truck area, and stating their policy again extremely rudely like I had not heard and respected it. I had been recommended Silo/Liquid State in the past, but now I will never go again and I won't be missing much. read more

Excellent, excellent brewery, nailing most of the popular styles, including those I rarely favor (read: sours, NE IPAs, goses). Great staff. read more

This was a great place! We sat inside and I ordered a flight. I really liked their DIPA and sours. The service was good and the beer even better!

Fun vibes in the taproom and great IPAs. Got here too late to try everything I wanted to, but managed to get a flight to try their four hoppiest beers. I enjoyed them all! The space wasn't very full but I could tell it had a nice vibe and would probably be more exciting on a traditional night out. Servers were really friendly and knowledgeable. The huge number of options (not even just beer!) means there's surely something for everyone and plenty of reasons to visit several times. read more

Plenty of space inside and outside with the option to order food. I only did the sample, each kind is 5oz. It can get busy on a weekend nights, but this is a great place to hangout read more

I really wanted to like Liquid State. I still really want to like Liquid State. So far. It hasn't let me. The interior of the space is gorgeous. There's tons of seating available, the bar is huge, the service seems very attentive, and I really like the decor and the old school arcade games and skee ball. The beer, however, leaves a lot to be desired. My friends describe me as a craft beer snob. It's not inaccurate. I have a beer rating app that I use more frequently than yelp (Untappd) and I've logged 1,400 distinct beers. BUT, I don't have many beers I don't like. My average rating is a 3.75/5. There's usually something to be said for just about every beer that isn't macro. I'm not sure that applies to Liquid State. I just haven't been impressed by anything I've had there, all of the beers taste very generic and don't have much character. My girlfriend and I have been consistently let down by their limited releases that typically feature a fruit variant on one of their regular beers, but turn out to taste pretty much like the original. At the end of the day, if you're looking for a chill spot to go with a big group and order a couple pizzas and have a few beers, Liquid State is your spot. If you're hoping for quality craft beer in the heart of Ithaca, you'll have to keep waiting (especially now that Bandwagon is gone ) read more

OH MY GOODNESS! I love it here! We went to the new location and loved it! Beautiful setting and delicious beer! If I have to pick on something, I have to say that the bartender was friendly but seemed annoyed because I asked if the pretzel was vegan. At the location in Ithaca, they always said: let me go ask. She said: I don't know, take your chances :) We talked to the owner's mom and she was sooooo nice! We will be coming back for sure! I'm vegan. I will try to find out what can I eat before I go! I wish them all the best! read more

This is a great place to hang out with friends. It's open and airy. We sat at the bar, and the bartender was fantastic about knowing when to follow up with us and when to leave us alone. We tried the maibock, black is beautiful stout, and the red ale. The beer was okay. I think it's disappointing for someone who drinks a lot of craft beers. I wouldn't visit again unless I was explicitly invited by friends. read more

We enjoyed this brewery. I was skeptical based on the location and it looked empty, but it was actually pretty awesome. Good selection of beers, there were at least 2 I really liked that were not IPAs. While they don't have a kitchen, they do offer some snacks. We got a board with a large amount of salami and some really good smoked gouda and crackers. Prices were reasonable also and it's within walking distance of several good places to eat. Definitely check it out if you like beer! read more

Visited Liquid State Brewing Company on Monday afternoon. A classic brewery that looks to old-world styles for inspiration. And while they did not have the same creativity of other up and coming breweries, you can certainly find a solid beer on the menu. Quality: Liquid State Brewing Company looks to old-world styles in its beer. This creates a fair amount of consistency, but it also is a little boring in todays craft beer world. During our visit we ordered the Join the Dark Side Beer Flight with Stache Black Lager, Stray Dog Porter, La Trapeze Belgian-Style Dubbel, and Isolator Maibock, as well as The Brewer's Picks Beer Flight with Surf Guitar Gose, Daypack Saison, Cloud Swing Belgian-Style Tripel, and Liquid Crush NEIPA. We also ordered the cask-conditioned Festbier Lage and the Snow Devil Winter IPA. All perfectly fine beers, but not many that stood out. The Stray Dog Porter was probably the best of the bunch, but even that was not a beer I needed another of. The mustard that came with the Bavarian Soft Pretzel, that was the best thing I tasted. A limited food menu, but even without the addition of beer cheese, they nailed the pretzel thanks to the flavorful mustard. Quantity: Extremely fair pours of beer, and the pretzel was a good sized snack. Value: $10 for a Beer Flight. $5-$7 for a Pint of Beer. $4.50 for a Bavarian Soft Pretzel With Mustard. Ambiance: Liquid State Brewing Company is located in Ithaca, New York. The taproom is quite large, a big indoor space with high ceilings and a long bar, as well as an additional semi-outdoor space towards the back. In the corner of the indoor area were a few arcade machines as well as skeeball, but signs were on them due to COVID. They had a few Christmas decorations up and were selling ugly sweater beer glasses, which was pretty unique. And in the background Christmas music played quietly. They have a small food menu, but a food truck also sat out front, though the hours are more limited than the brewery. Crowd: We arrived as they opened their doors, but were not even the first ones in. Two other groups entered ahead of us, with several others filtering in during our visit. Service: While I am not the biggest fan of preselected beer flights, it did seem to make ordering more efficient. They also took a rotation approach to service, with a different staff member assisting us whenever they walked by and saw we needed something. Parking: Even with snow piled up in several areas, still plenty of parking available in their private lot. read more

Never was able to go to this place. I never got a response for reservation. I'm sure they are short on employees.

Silo Fried Chicken, in permanent residence in the parking lot of Liquid State Brewing Company, is a must-try for exceptional fried chicken. Like Gus's, Prince's and Willie Mae's, this is a destination spot worth traveling several hours. The chicken is dense, moist, perfectly seasoned throughout and perfectly cooked. Available naked or with a variety of creative, thoughtful and delicious sauces. The sides are equally tempting. The Mac and cheese is definitive. The corn bread is impossibly light and moist, and is griddled crisp and served with luscious honey butter. Even the scratch-made pickles and pickled onions are done just right. I cannot recall ever having better fried chicken. Not to be ignored, Liquid State has great beer to wash it down. read more

My partner and I came here while on vacation in the Finger Lakes area. We sat outside on their patio with our two dogs. The server was so sweet to our pups.

We'll definitely come back next time we're in the area. read more

We stayed in an air b&b across the street in October and stopped over here one evening to try some beers. It's a very large brewery and the tables were spaced out very well. We tried many beers including the supercritical fluid (4/5 stars), hi-hat czech pilsner (3/5 stars), Sonic! IPA (4/5 stars), liquid crush IPA (4.5/5 stars), and the yard lion hefe (4/5 stars). We had a great time enjoying the beers and the atmosphere. We purchased some glassware to take home to remember our trip! read more

The beer we had was good. It wasn't special but we enjoyed our beer. The vibe was undecided. It has an art vibe and a construction vibe and a Christmas vibe and a gamer vibe, I don't think it worked. Plus the oven wasn't working when we wanted to order a pretzel. All that being said, I would go there if invited but I don't think I would by myself read more

Took the fam to Liquid State the day after Christmas for some beer. I was surprised at how family friendly the space is, with lots of games and seating. We were able to order takeout from a neighboring restaurant, and let the kiddos run wild all over the game area. Everyone enjoyed multiple beers from their long tap list, and staff were happy to keep us in quarters for the video games. Everyone was friendly, and not annoyed at having little ones running around burning off energy. I'd like to see them add some more stouts or porters to their offerings, but over all it was a nice space and a good time. read more
