Conesus Lake: CB Brewing
CB Craft Brewers, and the attached brewpub called Pint & Goblet Tavern, are both great examples of the innovative New York spirit. Started in 1997, this brewery has grown dramatically and is now one of the biggest in the region.
Honeoye Lake: Irish Mafia Brewing Company
Though the name might sound intimidating, Irish Mafia Brewing Company is a fantastic brewery with a great sense of humor. Carrying both wine flights, wine slushies, a great menu of snacks, and a selection of fantastic beers, you?re sure to have a great time!
Canandaigua Lake: Young Lion Brewing
Like many craft breweries, Young Lion Brewing started as a passion project among friends. Now, it?s an impressive brewery located at the north end of Canandaigua Lake. Visit their taproom to enjoy some of their newest creations!
Keuka Lake: Abandon Brewery
Located in a reconditioned barn that dates back to the 1800s, Abandon Brewing Company features a great selection of beer in a unique setting. This eco-friendly brewery uses geothermal energy to heat the brewing and fermentation area of the brewery and solar power to provide lighting to one of the buildings.
Seneca Lake: Climbing Bines Hop Farm and Wagner Walley Brewing Company
Okay, we?ll admit it: we couldn?t choose between these two fantastic breweries. Climbing Bines Hop Farm specializes in small-batch, hand-crafted ale and is known for using hopes and barley that is harvested just down the road. Wagner Walley Brewing Company was the first craft brewery on Seneca Lake and features a wide variety of brews. No matter your taste, you?ll find something delicious at Wanger Brewing!
Cayuga Lake: Boathouse Beer Garden & Brewing Company
The Boathouse Beer Garden & Brewing Company celebrates the beauty of the Finger Lakes region and the artistry of the local craftsmen. Enjoy a view of Cayuga Lake or admire the locally crafted boats burnished by the Finger Lakes Boat Museum that are on display.
Owasco Lake: Prison City Pub and Brewery
You don?t have to get locked up to enjoy Prison City Pub and Brewery! They have a wide selection of beers, as well as a fantastic menu of snacks, entrees, and desserts. They even have a kid?s menu, if you?re bringing the little ones along!
