Wow. I am simply impressed by their beer. I myself am from Munich, Bavaria and I usually am very picky when it comes to beer - I can personally vouch for the authenticity of the taste!A must see for true beer lovers!

Great selection of German styles, as well as IPAs and others. Nice flight pours too!

This is a fantastic local brew pub run by two great guys, bothers. They are extremely knowledgeable, and that shines through in the quality of their beers. And they brew a variety to please every palette. While they make several German style beers, made with malt imported from Germany, they also make several Belgian style beers, British ales and American IPAs. I personally love their stout, porter, Scotch ale, pale ale, and kolsch.If you'd like to eat while you enjoy your beer, you can bring food in from any number of very nearby establishment's: a Mexican restaurant across the street, a pizza place a few doors down and highly recommended diner just down the street.If you are looking for a high quality, craft quality beer in a comfortable and friendly setting, then go here. You will thank me for this advice. Go now. Thank me later.

We went after hearing it was 2nd best brewery in America, and we left completely unsurprised by that ranking. They gave us some free taste tests, which was super fun, the winter solstice is amazing. They’re truly experts and also great to chat with, kind, and helpful. They were even open on thanksgiving which was awesome. They sell merchandise and beer-related pretzels. If only they made burgers and fries too, if I were a local I’d be there constantly. They showed us where they brew the beer which was especially cool. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to know what real beer is.

I can't rave enough about this little brewery.These guys are brewing, in house, small batches that are epic!You won't find anything canned here.Delicious wines, mead and distilled cocktails are made for your adult sipping pleasure.(Thanks for saving my bag. Sorry it clashed with your outfit. ?)

Was traveling home from Albany and decided to take some back roads, which led me here. The owners/brewers, who are brothers, were really friendly and helpful. The place is very clean and light inside, which is different from the dark, German-inspired outdoor facade, and the beers I sampled were terrific--especially the IPA. I bought two growlers to go, and unfortunately one leaked in my car, but I'm looking forward to drinking them this weekend!

Great place to stop in for a cold one. Clean bathrooms. Great TVs. Knowledgeable and friendly bar tenders.

Three stars because the beer was tasty. Customer service was totally lacking. Guys behind the bar barely acknowledged me and my boyfriend. Kind of surprised that business owners of their age wouldn't realize how important being personable is in the industry. I get the feeling we got the cold shoulder because we didn't look like their typical clientele. Wicked disappointing.

Absolutely love this brewery! Such a fun place takes me back to Germany. Friendly service, greasy beer, and pretzels to pair with your brew! Have a pint or a flight sit and mingle and enjoy the atmosphere. Wonderful selection of beers to choose from. Recommend visiting if you're in the area or stamping on the Ny Craft Beer app. Cheers
Just visited for the first time Wide selection of beers. All were awesome. I had a flight of four and Rita tried both pils. Very relaxing atmosphere and Tom was a great host. We brought lunch from the nice deli right next door. Looking forward to our next visit.

Great place, great drinks! The bathroom was super clean so much so it’s worth mentioning. Lots and lots of seating and nice men working. I tried the Pilsner, Munich Dunkel and the mead…all very tasty!
Excellent marzen for octoberfest !!
