Family run and very friendly, the addition of the food menu helps for longer stays

Great food, great beer, and family friendly! Excellent place for a snack and a drink. Owner/brewer was super accommodating and there were plenty of games for the the whole family. You should go!

Very cool place with unique beer!

I did not care for any of the beer and dog immediately runs at you at the door.

Wow, we loved this place! Stopped in for a quick drink and thought it would be just a run of the mill brewery, but it was so much more! They specialize in unique beers. Two don't use hops (they were so good) and one was a darker beer brewed with apples (so unique!). The bartender explained things perfectly and clearly was an expert and enthusiastic about the beers. They also had an awesome outdoor space and lots of other drink options (slushees (NA and alcoholic) cider etc.). There is something here for everyone!

We were at the off time of the year. Dogs were highly entertaining. Beer was very good as uts their own brews. Very good. Not sure if they do bands or anything more to add. It's clean!

This is only a review of the beer, as I've yet to visit their establishment in Keuka which looks really cool!I picked up a 4 pack of their beer at the Windmill Craft Market in Penn Yan this past weekend. The Apple Graff, the ESB, the Mild and the Dorset Summer Ale are the beers I brought home and with the exception of the Summer ale, which I haven't cracked open yet, we both agreed that all have a similar 'twang' to them. It's a cidery, almost sour-ish note present in each of the beers. While it might be a welcome note in certain ales, it seems to hold back the other characteristics one would hope to find in each of the respective styles. Those flavors can be found if you spend enough time sort of working with the beer, but they're definitely muted due to this overwhelming primary flavor. Maybe it's the type of yeast? I'd be interested to try these beers from the tap as opposed to a bottle as bottling can impart some unwelcome flavor byproducts. Lyonsmith seems like a brewery with a truly unique niche in a saturated market which I definitely appreciate, so I look forward to visiting and giving their beer another chance when we're in the area.
