Great beers! Right next to a handpie place. Limited indoor seating and no full bar. But press bay is great. Staff is friendly as all get out. I take people here when they visit from out of town.

Awesome place! Beer is excellent, culture is really good, art and names and such. Barrel aged bottles are really reasonable and delicious! Check this place out for sure.

The people and location are nice. The beer is good enough to recommend and focuses highly on local ingredients but too pricey for me personally. A growler costs $20-26 while Hopshire, Liquid State, and IBC all have growlers at $13-17, all of which i think have better beer. On a personal note, one of the bartenders accidentally filled my growler only 3/4. The person today was nice enough to fill the growler up the rest of the way, but at the time I'd have been happier if they'd poored the beer out and given me a refund. The owner reached out to me afterwards which I appreciated. They have a very good cucumber kolshe if you're lucky enough to get it.

Nice little taproom for one of my favorite breweries in the area. Our bartender was attentive and friendly. We had a great experience here before walking over to Moosewood for dinner!

Good beer and really friendly bartenders!

Nice outdoor space and pet friendly. Bartender was friendly too but the beers were not good… unless you like beet or bologna beer ?Only three beers on tap.

Visited on a pleasant Saturday afternoon. The establishment is reached through an alleyway that has been turned into a courtyard seating area. Fun location. Inside was small, about a half-dozen brews on tap. Young lady barkeep was amazing, This location is an outpost of the Hector, NY brewery with tasting and retail sales. I would rate the brews from good to very good. Some "outside the box" innovation with "Beeting a Dead Horse" (yes "beet"), brewed with beet pulp, producing a surprisingly good sour finish.

A lovely place to visit and try out the brews. Love the open windows/outside feel. The beers themselves were super distinct and fun for a flight, but I didn't love anything enough for me to want to bring it home.

Cool ambiance, great beers, friendly staff, outdoor seating.
Kali was great, awesome bartender and very friendly. The area is really chill and comfortable, just wish I was able to experience during the summer when they open the garage doors

So nice to have this little version of their big Hector place. They usually only have four taps, but they are always a good selection that you can usually find one you really like and at least one you can get down.Their Raspberry Sour (Lil' Red) is one of the best sours I've had... not overly sour and softer on the stomach. Raspberry flavor is like drinking squished berries and not artificial at all. Their 'Falcon Punch' seems to be a flagship and seems to change a little - not fruit flavored, just nuances in the hops - also dry hopped so not nearly as bitter as traditional IPA's - more of a New England style.No bathroom so you don't want to spend too much time drinking there though. But there are enough watering holes in Ithaca, you can swing to one of them and come back pretty easily.Always friendly staff working there. Usually pretty laid back with indoor and outdoor seats and roomy for as small of a footprint they have.

Good beer, cool t-shirts, and an amazing representative of the company working. She was friendly and knowledgeable. Her attitude made it easy for me to want to spend my money here.

The bartender was so nice and knowledgeable (and had an awesome dancing bear tattoo!) and great beer with a cute cafe area to sit!

Beer is good, no doubt. Didn't enjoy the experience as I did not feel welcomed. I had 2 beers and noticed how when others walked in, they were welcomed with greetings: "have you been here before? Are you from the area. What kind of beers do you like"... me on the other hand was ignored even when I tried to strike up conversations with the bar tender, I was just a transaction. I don't need to be waited on hand and foot, but basic acknowledgment and basic respect would be nice.That sort of unwelcoming ... that feeling of we will still take your money ... is just rude in light of the way I witnessed others being treated.Not sure what that's about, but I've had much better experiences in other breweries in the region including Liquid state brewing and 2 goats brewery. To be clear, I don't think they are bad people, but the experience matters.
