Sloop Brewing Co. — Restaurant in Town of East Fishkill

Chuck E. Cheese for adults. That's exactly what this place feels like. I'm also not sure if that's a compliment or not.

Came out here with some friends on a Saturday night after hearing so much about it. As soon as you walk in it's very vibey, long hallway, color lights lighting up. You just can't wait what to see what the actual tasting room is like.

Once you walk in, there's a bunch of kids running around, the place is so loud. Everything is just off the walls and all over the place. You have to wait to be seated (apparently this is a new thing and we didn't know). Walked right in, went straight to the bar area to check out their brews. Love their menu display, pretty rad. They had a lot of amazing options to choose from and they do let you try what you want ahead of time. It was extremely crowded and felt a little bit understaffed. We waited a good 15 minutes for someone to finally notice us so we can scream our order and what we wanted to try.

Apparently you can’t order, pay and then go sit. You have to have a waiter/waitress.

On to the beers: what really matters about this place and why I gave them 4 stars in the first place. Their specialty is Juice Bomb. It’s the bomb! However, my favorite sour was the Black Razz. It’s a deep purple, takes you to a berry explosion. Yum yum yum! Also Pixie Dust was to die for. You feel like you’re in a fantasy world with rainbows and sprinkles once you give it a sip. Definitely a must!

Food options: Deh-lish! Finally a brewery where you can have the best of both worlds: delicious food with amazing beer.

I do have to say, my only disappointment here was how loud and crazy it was and how very (way too) kid friendly (on my opinion) it is. I do appreciate that they allow kids I just think this place shouldn’t be so ChuckE Cheesy and arcady. The waitresses could also fix their attitude a little bit. Once you get past all that and into the beers then everything’s fine. The whole world is fine. Everything’s ok.

Thank you sloop brewery for having amazing beers! There’s always room for improvement on...

Went here with my wife not long after it first opened. The place was crowded with way too many kids running around. Dreary cafeteria style atmosphere not appealing whatsoever for a brewery. We decided not to stay. According to their website Sloop brews about ten different IPAs. I saw one called West Coast IPA. So I decided to go back this past Sunday to try it. Also wanted to checkout their outdoor space, which was new since the first time I was there, thinking it may be a way to avoid the mayhem and rundown appearance of inside. The West Coast IPA is a misnomer. It tasted more like an American IPA with more of a NE style finish. Its best quality was that it is not hazy. I asked the bartender why they have so many IPAs but nothing truly west coast. She was not friendly at all, and proceeded to tell me, incorrectly, that it was a genuine west coast style and that the only difference is in the malt. Obviously she doesn’t know IPAs. West coast style is considerably more hoppy and bitter, which this clearly was not. I have had their flagship juice bomb a few times. It, as well as other NE/hazy style beers, are really just a novelty for people who regularly drink real IPA. They appeal mostly to people who don’t like beer in general. The outdoor space consisted of some picnic tables under a pavilion between two large parking lots, leaving much to be desired. East Fishkill is a family oriented area. I can see Sloop doing well catering to that clientele. But there are too many breweries around today for me to waste my money at this place. And for someone who is a real IPA connoisseur, Sloop is a big let down. Gave one star only because zero is not an option. I...

The facility is impressive - plenty of tables, large bar, Cornhole, giant connect 4.

The beer: only sours and IPAs. Mosaic bomb was ok, but I was disappointed by how mellow it was. Some of the sours were really good - Sangria White stood out, while I thought the Clementine sour had a bit too much lactose. I enjoyed trying some of the beers I hadn't had, even though I was disappointed by a few of them.

The food: the peanut butter bacon cheese burger sounded amazing, but fell a little short flavor wise. It was very muddled and nothing really popped. The burger itself was very well done. The bacon and peanut butter didn't really pop, nor were they particularly prevalent. I think the juice bomb pickles were the most disappointing - I was expecting contrast to the rest of the rich ingredients, and they just fell flat.

Service: the waitress was friendly for the most part, but didn't check in nearly enough. It got to the point where my girlfriend got tired of waiting for a beer, so she went to the bar. Both bartenders told her that the tables have table service. Neither of them seemed inclined to offer her a beer at first, but eventually relented and poured her one. When she got back to our table, our waitress rushed back to the table and borderline scolded her for going to the bar.

Overall, disappointed. Not a place I would pick for another group gathering. At the same time, I'm hoping the service issue was a one time thing, so I wouldn't be opposed to returning if a group of friends choose Sloop...
