You can have delicious food delivered from two doors down. Service is awesome, Taylor runs a great bar. Beers are delicious, wish we could get these at home in Florida! read more

We messaged them on Facebook to confirm if they were dog-friendly, and they responded promptly! They were very welcoming to us and our furry companion. Although there weren't any food trucks, they provided us with a binder of food delivery options and recommended the Starlite Room. We'll definitely make this a stopover when we travel this way again. The ambiance and decor of the place are also impressive. read more

Great beer options and friendly staff. A must stop if you're in the area. I am not an IPA fan, but found a lot of nice beers to sample. Couldn't decide which my favorite was between Pumpkin Pie, Oktoberfest, Vienna Lager, Common Sense, or Mary Jane's. Try them all Plenty of parking and easy to find. Bar tender was very friendly and willing to assist. Can't ask for more with great service and great beer. read more

Stopped at their Seneca Lake location on our way up to Niagara Falls. We got sandwiches at the food truck and some beer in the tasting room. It's very convenient to walk around town from there. The staff were very friendly! We love the finger lakes and are looking forward to coming back. read more

Upstate Brewing Company - Corn bole - Breweries Near Me - Elmira, New York

Lovely place! I imagined it as a man cave. I left embarrassed when there was no option to leave gratuity on my card and I had no cash. Owner- you need to fix this!!!! Even Panera Bread leaves room for a tip. Your servers are losing out. And, oh, please tell your food truck guy to buy a quiet Honda generator or build a muffler box for his current one. It's loud! read more

Cute place. Beer was great. Bartender was very knowledgeable and personable. Will definitely go again.

We stopped here one afternoon this past week and what a great find! The place is literally on, Lake Road and easy to find. The beer sommelier was great and steered my fiance who likes a good NE IPA with low etoh content (under 6%) towards, Lake Road beer. It was excellent! I dont even drink beer but, I enjoyed this one! Great spot if you're looking for a nice brewery with an excellent selection near Watkins Falls! Elmira is a small city with great gems like this..They also offer light meals and have seating both inside and outside. read more

Been here several times over the past couple of years. The separation between this brewery and others is their consistent rotation of quality beers that offer a style for everyone. Definitely a fan! read more

Great beers tap room with outside seating also available food trucks vist with a great variety of menu friendly place to have a great ipa or many other beers read more

Was visiting Horseheads and driving through the neighborhood where my mom grew up. I saw this place on the Lake Road. Stopped in and got cans of Pilsner and cream ale to bring back to DC. Great staff, and we enjoyed the beers! read more

Stopped in Saturday with a Bachelor Party. Very accommodating staff with knowledge of the beers available. Cards were available to use for socializing. Nice indoor set up and seating outside. No food on site but they normally have food trucks - none were there this past Saturday. Great beers and great times had by our group read more

Great selection of beers! Nice atmosphere and outdoor seating! Perfect for a summer afternoon after a hike! The Summertime Blues and Mexican Lager are delicious! read more

You can't beat the tasting + glass price. It's pretty awesome and totally worth it. I really enjoyed the Summer Haze, good light and summery beer, I'm not a huge beer person and I liked it. So much that I got a can of it to bring home with us. The atmosphere is great, I loved the chalkboard menu, so cute!! The sign inside the bathroom is awesome, the Variety of Beer - I think it's so awesome I will be buying my boyfriend one for his house. He loved the IPW and the IPA - said it was his favorite from the 3 places we had gone to visit during the day. He got a growler (he was disappointed they only had clear ones). The owner is a cool guy, he is very down to earth and isn't trying too hard to pretend he loves every beer, he's a hops kind of guy haha. We will definitely be back to try other beers and pick more up, not too far from home. Clean place with seating and pretzel snacks! I suggest a visit. read more

A beer mandala Upstate is awesome, that's it. The inside is clean, stylish and practical. The beer is delicious. Problem being is they are always trying to make new and better beers so if you do find a beer you really like, there is a good chance that it won't be there the next time you go. However that is part of why I love upstate so much. So many people and businesses are willing to compromise once they find something that works. Upstate throws this model out the window and constantly cycles in new beers of any variety you can think of. This leads to this authentic and exclusive feeling experience knowing that you will never be able to consume this exact beer again. Upstate is creative, the people that work and go there are friendly. Throw in they bring a taco truck in on Tuesday's, and they sometimes put on live music or collaborate with other businesses and the community...... I just can't help but be impressed. Seriously, if you are a beer lover of any kind come here and you will not regret it! read more

Their beers have actually gotten better since the last time I reviewed.

A little place in the middle of nowhere, but definitely worth the stop. I was in love with the Double and the Galaxy 15 Plato. I am sure that place is hopping during prime hours. Their tasting area had some tables in addition to their long bar. There was also a small patio with a few tables as well. When I got there it was Sunday and they had just opened. I was on my way back to CT. They were not that far off the main road, so it was convenient as well. Cans of my favorite two from the tasting do not stick around long, so I had them fill two big growlers for me! read more

Awesome brewery, even more awesome is it is less than a half a kilometer from my house. read more

Stopped in 7/3 to give upstate a try. There IPW is very different. Has a very mellow taste with an bite at the end. The common ale I only sampled (should have got a Growler!) Was very different also and had a nice crisp finish to it. Would be a great ale to sit in the creek and drink. I see these guys going places. Hope to see an IPA next time I stop by. read more

Stopped in last weekend with a few friends and got to try a couple of tastings including Common Sense Ale, IPW and Summer Haze. I've had CSA before but first time trying the other two. I truly believe CSA is going to put Upstate Brewing Company on the map. I love that they have 4 packs and growlers for sale along with t shirts since their logo and packaging are awesome. I wish they were open more often but hopefully its in their future plans. Support local, support UBC! read more

pretty solid place, but I liked the beers at Horseheads Brewing better. They are in the process of expanding, which is a good idea because the main room doesn't handle too many people without feeling crowded. The beer was good though and the woman working the taps was great, I kinda fell half in love with her! They have food vendors here on the weekends too. This was a nice little stop on an afternoon day trip read more

Awesome beer, great atmosphere. Nice sized taproom making it a comfortable place to hang for a couple of good brews.

Had a wonderful time with my nephew from Connecticut yesterday. Mike held the tasting for us and what a wonderful, kind, friendly man he was. It was my first time there, I will be back. Wonderful time. Thanks read more

First and foremost, great beers. They always have a couple of new beers on tap and a staple of their favorites. What sets this place apart is the great service that I've had every time I've been there. As a home brewer I'm always looking to learn new tips and techniques and Upstate is always willing to let me know how they work their brews. I make it a point to come here EVERY time I'm back visiting my lovely hometown of Elmira, NY. A MUST stop! read more

If there's a sweet spot for micro-brewery tasting rooms between too small and too large, this place hits it. Nice long bar allows for plenty of access in this microbrewery that makes excellent beer, has very friendly staff, and generally make me glad I stopped by. read more

Very friendly service at this 4YO brewrry (new talroom only 3 weeks old: roomy but echoey). Limited selection (6 beers on tap, but one was out when I visited on a Sunday). Had the Common Sense which was decent. Mix of out of towners and locals in what appears to be a dying town. Excellent selection of merch, though, which most young breweries don't take advantage of enough. read more

Yum! I love Common Sense, and the prices are reasonable. I think they recently expanded their hours which is awesome, since Saturdays only made things a bit difficult. So glad they now have cans, and it's great to be able to go to some local eateries and get a glass of Upstate Beer to enjoy with dinner. read more

Beer is great and the people who work there are wonderful. They have a variety of beers on tap, something for everyone. Try the brunch if you like dark beers, so f-ing amazing. Drink local. read more

By far our favorite brewery in town. We love the IPAs and Laurel behind the bar is amazing!

Fantastic place!! Very seldom can I find a brewery that has six or more beers I enjoy. This place has it going on. Very knowledgable staff and great tasting room. Stop here at least once a week. read more

Great beer and the new larger tasting room is awesome! Try to get there when Phat Daddy's Barbecue truck is there! People behind tasting room bar know their beer inside and out! Love that they can in 4 packs, easy on the go beer! read more

My mother and I came to the one year birthday of the business that we saw on the website. We enjoyed the tasting, the beer was great, the prices are great and filled a growler of common sense to take home! They took the time to answer questions and chat which was really nice to learn about a local business and the people who run it. A+ quality all the way around! If you're in town enjoy refreshing beer, and meet a great group of family and friends running a local microbrewery! read more
