We ordered food from one of the food trucks. I wish I took some pictures of the jerk chicken, rice and coleslaw. I world say the chicken had good flavor but the pieces were cut up in an unexpected way. The rice was super bland (inedible IMO) and the coleslaw tasted store bought but still good. We had some beers and ciders which were good. The cider was dry and not sweet which I thought was great. If you like sweet ciders, this is not for you. I thought the drinks were pricey. The cider was $9 and the beers $8. All in all we had a nice day but eat before you come.

My favorite place in the Hudson Valley. Matt and Miranda (owners) and Sunday (my favorite…read morebartender) are so sweet, fun, interesting, and down to earth. Matt brews incredible beer and they also sell cocktails. There's a huge fire pit outside surrounded by Adirondack chairs, picnic tables spread around the property, a large meadow with tables and chairs, a cozy indoor area by the bar, a tent with seating for rainy days and sun shelter, and a very friendly, upbeat energy. Kids are welcome. The local clientele is great and there's a real sense of community here. I love their playlists too. Honestly, this place is just so welcoming and chill. Slow Fox is a working farm and they have a beautiful flower garden and a CSA. Oh, and the Food Trucks!.... I love the whole experience. Not to be missed.

Indoor seating was adequate and well utilized on a chilly October day. Busy on a Sunday afternoon. Parking lot is large and adequate. Bathroom was clean. Service was good and surprisingly fast. Staff were all quite nice. You order at the counter and they bring the food and drinks to your table. The line to order was short. They have some interesting bar games, I'll try next time. My wife got a Brut Pick Your Own Raspberry IPA and she enjoyed it. Got food: Vegan Impossible burger was good, I was grateful for the offering, the bun could use some improvement. Wife got regular beef burger and enjoyed, same mushy bun. Brussel sprout salad was good and healthy. We would not order the pretzel bites again, looked like sliced up bagels with goop on top. Fries, large size is very large, appropriate for more than 2 people. Corn fritters were enjoyable. This is a brewery more than a restaurant. Brewery offering is large. Food is limited because it is coming from a food truck. Still, they keep things moving fast. Vegan choices are limited, but I appreciate their awareness. This place would be great if they could elevate their food scene. They have a Trivia night, every 2 weeks and we will come back for that. Helpful?

I love Plan Bee Farm Brewery! We drove up to the brewery and were immediately struck by the…read morebeautiful surroundings. This definitely had more of a winery vibe but sold interesting beers. We tried all 8 beers they had on tap that day...they offer tastes of each beer for free, and then half pours are $5...all in all, super reasonable. The beers were all light and flavorful, there will certainly be something for everyone in your group. Upon receiving our beer, we went to sit outside and listen to the live entertainment. The man singing and playing the guitar and keyboard had a fun personality and clearly wrote many of his songs. This ever-talented man, after one of his songs, thanked us for coming out and shared that he is the owner of the farm and brewery and that we were experiencing the fruits of 13 years of work by him and his wife. How incredible! Not only is this a beautiful story of a family living the dream, it also made me want to return and spend more time there. There are plenty of chairs and picnic tables to sit at while enjoying your beverages and the music, but we saw an older couple bring their own chairs, which we thought was a good idea. In addition to the by-owner music, they have a variety of board games available to play, along with several bags sets. It's also a dog-friendly spot. If you're looking for a fun way to spend an evening, look no further! Can't wait to visit again.

It's family owned and run, by a couple who are super laid back and fun and know what they're doing. Can't recommend it enough.

My only complaint was how hot it was in the brewery, we probably would've stayed longer if we could tolerate the heat. They had some snacks to purchase and a ton of merch. They also have a nice area for kids to play and nice clean bathrooms. My boyfriend loved the beer - said it was the best of the whole day. Check them out if you're in the area!

If you appreciate family-owned distilleries, exceptional hospitality, and learning the craft behind great whiskey and bourbon, Hillrock Distillery absolutely deserves a spot on your itinerary.

There is however just one thing about it which rankles, and makes me less likely to return. Namely: The staff seem to have been instructed to demand aggressively that you pay up front--or swipe your card before you've even been served. Even if you're sitting at the bar (not outside). Problem 1: Tips should be based on the service rendered. I can't know what the service was like until we're done. So that forces patrons to choose the "run a tab" option even if just dropping in for one beer. Problem 2: This policy feels needlessly suspicious and hostile, as if USB doesn't trust their (almost exclusively well-heeled) clientele to pay. And this isn't some busy NYC bar where people occasionally walk on tabs. And bowhere else I've been in Hudson does this. If Governor's or Padrona tried it, regulars would look at the server like an extraterrestrial. Management might want to take a chill pill and try trusting their patrons more; Hudson is still a small town. Take the order, do a good job, give us a bill when we're ready... After the drinks and food are finished.

No food when we went, but I understand they have a food truck sometimes. I liked it.
