5 Best Craft Breweries in Rochester

“Amazing place, a great asset in our community!“

“SO happy to see another craft brewery in Rochester! Great location, awesome atmosphere with the combined inside and outside seating! Not to mention the live music and food truck rotations they will be featuring!!! I love that Thesis is doing collabs with their beer and local business! Of the 6 beers on tap I had the cucumber sour which was my favorite! So light and refreshing!!! The golden ale that was crisp and a little on the bitter side, and the Tuba nanas hefeweizen which is very smooth and quite literally has aromatics that smell like banana laffy taffy! I look forward to what Thesis brew team come up with in the future! If you havent checked them out yet it's a must!!!P.S. lots of parking in the back!!!“

“We had our rehearsal dinner at Kinney Creek and could not have had a better experience! The staff was very accommodating for a large group and even set aside the whole back room for us! Also a huge plus that they let us bring in pizzas! We enjoyed all the drinks, the games, and the atmosphere of the place. Next time we are in the area we will be back, thanks for having us!“

“The beer was good and the bartender was friendly. They have a bunch of games that you can play if u want. We played cribbage. It looks like they have a bingo night and a cribbage night. We would like to come back sometime when the outside seating areas are open.“

“I visited Forager and the venue is welcoming with one of the best tucked away patios. The paintings on the building were beautiful. The guitarist performing outside was on point. I ordered the beef stroganoff and overall it was okay. I found it bland and it needed more flavor. The main flavor for me, was flour. I also had to ask for salt and pepper which was not provided. There was some dill on it which added some flair but not enough dill. I feel fresh parsley will bring this dish to life along with some extra garlic. The carrot cake cupcake was amazing. The light frosting, the carmel drizzel, and candied carrots all were flavorful!“
