This place had a few nice features but was an overall big disappointment. I would not recommend it to anyone that doesn’t have a friend working there.Con, there was no hostess. So when walking in, there is no way to understand their seating arrangements. You seat yourself. Once we went out and sat on the patio. It took a few minutes to realize there was no wait service out there. So the lack of service is not very friendly or customer oriented. There might have been a sign somewhere explaining all this, but I didn’t see one while coming into the restaurant. So the terrible service and lack of appreciation for the customer is a big con.Con, the food was not good. We tried the burgers and there was no flavor. The burger was so “not good” that at one point I overcame years of “catholic guilt” to “finish your food” and just left the half eaten failed fusion of ingredients on the plate. And the tater tots were not cooked enough. Also, they didn’t have a selection of non-alcoholic drinks. Limiting the customer base with lack of drink selection and poor menu items is not a great business model.Pro, I did like the jumbo pretzel and warm beer cheese.Pro, it was nice sitting outside even if there was no service.So, overall my impression was terrible. The food was not good, the service was not friendly, and the vibe was not inviting but “clicky”. Probably great if you knew someone that worked there.I would suggest a different restaurant.

Great place!Exactly what I want from a brewery. Good beer, good people, lots of dogs hanging out.

The band "Head Sound" was awesome, will probably go again.

Great selection of beers and their revamped kitchen menu is amazing! A true hidden gem in Malta.

Location is a little weird but from there it just gets better. Nice indoor space with open air in the warmer months. Outdoor dog friendly seating area (though it's not covered and exposed to the rain/sun). Fortunately the day we went it stopped raining after we did a hike with the dogs and the bartender offered to set us up a table so we could bring the dogs out of the car. They do offer food and it seems like they might be experimenting a bit with the menu. Tacos were OK. Not bad, but considering we just ate very good authentic Mexican tacos in Clifton Park the day before it might be unfair to judge them. Great selection of beers and looking at the brewers (owners) it seems they have totally different taste and that is why there is such a high-quality offering of vastly different beers. The person I was with ordered opposite spectrum beers as me, so we got a good feel. They also have ciders which is great for your non beer drinking friends/family.

Local brewery tucked away in an industrial parking lot. Currently my favorite sour! Bike for Beer!

Loved all the beers in my flight! Great flavors!

An extremely good brewery, with a good food menu that isn't overwhelming. Their menu consists of tacos, burritos and quesadillas. They have every type of beer you can think of with 10-12 rotating taps and more in cans. They do have wine and ciders available for non-beer drinkers. They have a nice outdoor seating area for when the weather is nice with a large garage door that opens. I definitely recommend supporting this local brewery in Malta, NY.

Best beer in upstate New York. Also the food is great.
Beer as always... Amazing. Food options very niche. Good thing people come for the available drafts. An outdoor grill come the summer season would be killer.

We’ve enjoyed every beer we’ve tried! Fun space to play games, watch a game, or listen to music. Small kitchen that serves great food. Our favorite brewery in the area!

made the mistake of stopping in for a beer and growler fill up. my tactical error...bringing a clear growler. was informed they could not fill it as clear growlers damage the beer. I understand that if left to light or not consumed quickly...but it was 8pm on a Friday night and would never see the light of day. it was a shame as we had a good time when here before, there are plenty of choices in the area and this seems a wee bit uptight and snobbish. Hey I appreciate the standards, but that just means it is not for me.

Good selection of brews in a industrial kind of environment. Especially liked their sours.Doesn’t open to 3PM with food at 4. Music on Saturday. Flights available.

This is one of my all time favorite craft breweries, the beer and staff are phenomenal. Did I mention the beer? Great selection for any taste. They also opened a small kitchen with (what I would call craft finger food), the food is amazing, yes I have had everything on the menu more than once and it pairs perfectly with the excellent beer.
