Nice cozy brewery hidden away at a farm. I went during the winter and I can imagine how this place is in the summer. The bar is nice and cozy. Very woodsy. For appetizers, there is a small offering of cheeses, cold cuts, crouton bread, and pop corn. You can bring or order your own food. Beer: Star of the show. My favorite beers were the pickle and hot pepper beer. Both were unique and very good. A-lot of the other beers did not have enough pow to make it memorable like these. Overall, this was a great experience for a farm to brewery setting. I brought my wife who doesn't drink so next time bring friends that do :)

This beer is a must have if you are remotely close. Most unique but absolutely the most delicious beer I’ve ever tasted. Awesome location, dog friendly, and great atmosphere. Pretty sure the owner was pouring beers when we were there, and that’s awesome! So interesting hearing about the farm. If you like beer or wine there’s something here you’ll love.

Among the slate of breweries that have popped up the last several years in NYS, Plan Bee stands out as special. I've been to a crapton of breweries, locally as well as across the country, and I've yet to find beer quite like here. Like sours? You better. While some blend the borders, everything they make here could be classified under that style thanks to the yeast they harvest off the honeybees on the property to make their beer. That's on top of all their ingredients being grown on property or on an adjacent farm. Translation: this is next level commitment.The property itself is beautiful. I had come years ago and they've built it up nicely with a ton of seating and a beautiful taproom space without losing the remote character. You would not guess this is 5min from downtown Poughkeepsie from the pics and the feeling in person is the same. Literally saw a bald eagle in the distance this past visit. It's tranquil as f**** The beer is priced well for this type of place. Not everyone will appreciate it, however some who don't like beer normally may love this; my best friend hated beer his whole life, and this place broke him of that. Service is about as friendly and knowledgeable as it gets, given that the husband/wife team that runs the place are typically the ones serving you.My friends and I do a yearly brewery tour upstate, and this has been a consistent staple of that. This past visit the Cellar Beer, Breakfast and Morello were the winners for me. Hope they never change.

Awesome brewery with great options to enjoy. The site has an incredible and relaxing atmosphere. The sandwiches were also super yummy. We had a lovely time walking around the space! Can't wait to go back!

Great craft brewery. Found this place on Yelp while looking for places to checkout in Poughkeepsie. This place is cozy and homey. I got the Cellar Beer, which wasn't on the menu, but it is their house lager. It was phenomenal. They also had a pickle juice beer and a Carolina Reaper beer too. Both tasted great.The bartender was super friendly and taught us about the farm and apiary.

Steven B must own this place because my wife and I nearly spit out their Pisswater. We dumped it in their grass... we felt bad for the grass. Cool vibe but idk what all these reviews are smoking... if I could try whatever their smoking maybe I would enjoy the beer too.

Simply some of the best beers I have ever had (the ginger and barn beer). Originally I had this beer at Momofuku Ko's tasting menu and eventually made my way to the brewery for more.If you are around the area, this place deserves a visit.
We made a short stop here on our drive to Albany. Very cool and rustic little place that is well worth a visit if you are interested in trying craft beers. We sipped on four different half-pours and were happy to sit and enjoy the atmosphere on a Friday afternoon. We are not IPA fans and were able to find a number of options that we enjoyed. The place was pretty much empty when we were there, but I can see how this is a popular local spot.

A charming and unique craft brewery! We were so happy to find this hidden gem! Plan Bee is on the outskirts of Poughkeepsie. It's off the beaten track, but our map app took us right to it. Drive up a dirt road about 300 yards to get to the tap room. On a recent warm Sunday afternoon, the place was practically deserted, just the way we like it! Derrick was manning the taps. He's both knowledgeable and helpful. We had two wild sours which were perfect for the hot Sunday afternoon. We sat in the shade outside and enjoyed the country around us while imbibing excellent craft beer.

Great spot to visit on the weekends, especially on a nice weather day, so you can sit outside and enjoy the property. The tap house is so cute, the folks there are friendly and welcoming. Also especially helpful in trying to fit a beer that fits your taste - they gave me several to taste so I could decide. I chose the current beer, which was light and refreshing. They were making Bloody Mary's the day we visited- so my husband had one which was fantastic! I personally prefer to come when they have food trucks (check the schedule on their website) but they also hosts bands, so if you love live music - this is your jam. Property itself is vast and secluded they have picnic tables in both the sun and shade as well as fire pits so you could definitely stay and hang out here for hours.

Far from average! Great spot to get a taste of the Hudson Valley. The taproom is intimate, cozy and inviting. While the menu doesn't have recognizable beer names, the beer tender provided a thorough description of the beers offered; nice variety. I tried both the cellar beer and barn beer. Cellar was my particular favorite (pictured in the mug) So glad this spot has opened for dine-in as its walking distance from my home. Look forward to warmer weather days to enjoy the outside seating as well.

We always love an afternoon at this local brewery. We check out the food truck schedule and plan our visits accordingly ?. Hubby loves the beer and I can't get enough od the nonalcoholic apple cider
