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.

We arrived shortly after they opened- so the bartender was still setting things up but the welcomed us warmly and served us our beers. Speaking of them - every one of the beers were very good!

So happy my husband and I found this brewery! We were visiting Woodstock with our pup and saw this…read morebrewery was pup friendly and it was super pup friendly! They let dogs inside which was especially nice during the winter. The food was really good as well. My husband enjoyed his burger with chips and I enjoyed the French onion soup and hummus. I also really enjoyed my ginger kombucha! The staff was very welcoming and friendly. The only thing that could make this brewery even better would be a tv ;). Overall a great place. Will definitely come back when visiting the area again!!

BREWERY WITH FOOD: Very chill scene. Family friendly and doggie friendly. All were well behaved…read more Spacious place with plenty of outdoor seating. 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.

They have beautiful land with chairs available, and they encourage picnicking and bringing your own food to enjoy with their beer. It's all locally sourced on their own land and the bar is in a 200 year old barn. It's beautiful. They even have their own bees! 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 boyfriend and I stopped at Big Elm during our brewery crawl…read more Easy parking and friendly staff. My boyfriend got two rounds of flights and I got one of their delicious frozen lemonades. 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!

We tried the beers - and didn't like most of the ones recommended. To be fair, we're not beer connoisseurs and I was hoping for a nice cider. We had to order at the bar and then sit in another room.

It was only about an hour or so away from our house, so this was a real treat. Even though it was a cloudy day in March, the distillery was so beautiful. We can only imagine how gorgeous it is in the summer. We ended up having a private tour since no one else had signed up for the 11am time slot - fine by us! Our tour guide, Bob, was very friendly and knowledgeable, explaining everything in great detail. After the tour, we had our tasting. The tour and tasting we chose was The Hillrock Distillery Tour & Barrel Proof Tasting with Cheese & Charcuterie Plate - worth every penny! The bourbons were all absolutely amazing and the charcuterie plates paired perfectly with them. We ended up buying our two favorite bourbons, along with a pair of glasses and a hat for my husband. We are already trying to find another occasion to visit. Who knows...maybe we'll try The Founder's Tour next time. Thank you for making my husband's birthday so special. He was smiling for the rest of the day.

What great food at Union Street! I did not have any brews while here, but their mezze platter was…read moreA+++ and so were their tacos! The employees were friendly and seemed genuinely interested in engaging in conversation with their patrons. Their restroom is all-gender with a large shared sink area. It was clean with multi-stalls that are very private from floor to ceiling. They have a parking lot which was nice compared to street parking a lot of other places. This place seems great for large groups of people especially in nice weather as there is ample room outside for everyone! I didn't realize there was a downstairs until we were leaving, but it looked like such a fun place for groups to also hang out! Would definitely visit here again!

It may sound cheesy but it describes exactly the atmosphere of this place, a good time full of friendly people. It's a 2 two story building with plenty of seating. I have been here many a time where the upstairs is rented out for a private event. They also have two outside decks full of tables and chairs which is perfect to sit at when the weather is nice. And trust me when the weather is nice this place is packed!!!! The food here is delicious. In the warmer months they have a pizza food truck that comes. The pizza is sooo good my favorite is one they sell that has a white sauce on it instead of marinara it is delicious. The brewery itself makes small bites and has a few sandwiches that come with a bag of potato chips. They are also good. Last time we came our friends got the meatball sub and it was huge!!! They said it was amazing. They have a great selection of beers including IPAs, Stouts, Sours, and Ciders. I will say this brewery is what kindled my love for Sour beers. They have one that tastes like a red Starburst, so yummy! They also have non alcoholic beer and spirits on their menu. The staff is also friendly. I have seen them frazzled a time or two when it's really busy which is understandable. All in all it's good service both bar tenders and other staff that is working hard cleaning up tables ams sweeping to make sure the tables are ready for the next round of people. Also to note this is not table service. You go to the bar and order your food and either pay there or open a tab. They then bring out your food to you. You can also get beers to take home and other merchandise such as shirts, jackets, and some packaged food items. It very family friendly! Every time I come I see tons of families here, which is nice. Oh and the last thing to note the bathrooms are always clean!!! Which is something I really appreciate about any place that is serving food and drinks.

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