5 Best Craft Breweries near Cazenovia

“Always the best experience at Critz. The beer and cider are on point. They have an amazing play area for the kids. Pick your own pumpkins and Christmas trees are a great price. Plus they often have great live music. Great place for the whole family and always friendly staff.“

“Originally I wanted to check out this brewery because they were having an Easter egg hunt and it looked like a great way to spend a Saturday in Madison County, but honestly Im glad I missed it because judging by the crowd in the parking lot I would have been annoyed… so I am so glad I came back around 2:30 and while still having a crowded taproom we were seated immediately. The brewery and grounds are BEAUTIFUL!!!! The food is delicious. A little pricey average entree is about $20 bucks. The beers are decent . Nothing outstanding but good. Service 10/10. Added bonus to all my puppy parents. They are dog friendly but only outside.“

“We came on Sunday in the afternoon and sat on stools outside until a table opened up. There was a short line to get drinks at the bar and the bartender was friendly. There is a food truck to order from and the food was great. We had the chicken riggies and the garlic parm fries which were delicious and plenty to split between two people. The outdoor space is great on a nice summer day. The beer was great and I will definitely be back!“

“Beer was very good, pretzel with beer cheese was excellent! It was one of the best pretzels I have every had...top two at least. Wife and I also split a sandwich which was again...excellent. The menu is very small, keep that in mind, I think they only have a few sandwiches a a couple apps. They were sold out of a few beers I would have loved to try, which I found odd seeing how they make it themselves. I did not love the feel of the place. Its just did not have a 'pub' feel I was looking for. It was nice, clean and small, but set up in a strange way. Kind of felt like I was in a doctors office with a bar. My wife and I were also freezing while sitting at the bar and I am someone who is never cold. Overall I will 100% go back and try again. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a few delicious beers and quick bite of fantastic food.“

“When we first arrived to Heritage Hill, we were impressed by the scenic location. They had some farm animals as well, which added to the ambiance. We visited on a cold spring day, but I'm sure it's beautiful on a warmer day or in the fall. We sat inside for brunch. I tried to order both the hot cider and the pumpkin spiked hot chocolate, but was told both were seasonal items. I went with the regular spiked hot chocolate, which was very good. We ordered the Pompey Poutine as a starter, a twist on a traditional poutine, and it was delicious- plenty of food for two people to split. I ordered the avocado toast and my husband ordered the breakfast quesadilla for our meals. My husband's quesadilla was good, but he felt it may have been better with more seasoning or a sauce. Unfortunately, they were out of the avocado toast. By the time they let me know, we had already had our poutine for a while, so I chose not to order anything else since the poutine was filling enough. They were kind enough to bring me free toast and jam and to take a beer off our bill for the inconvenience (I had the frozen oranges which was very good). Overall, I'd like to come back to experience all that Heritage Hill has to offer on a warmer day. Based on my experience, I won't get my heart set on any one menu item as they may be out. However, the scenic location, good food and drinks, and friendly staff are all reasons I'll look forward to my next visit,“
