Decent enough brewery but not particularly spectacular.
My wife and I stopped by on a whim as we saw a sign pointing out the turn where the brewery is.
We went in and tried a flight. Everything was ok, but nothing more. The server was friendly but after serving our flight we didn’t really have much interaction. I wouldn’t say he ignored us, but the staff (there were 3 people working) weren’t particularly engaging.
The ambiance is pretty cool with a baseball theme. Makes sense since Cooperstown is home of the Baseball Hall of Fame. They have one back room that has a wall that is painted to look like a scoreboard and outfield wall and another wall painted to look like a bench of a baseball field.

If you are ever in the area and desire local beer, please stop by and say hello to a genuine good person and...
Read moreSmall place with decent beer, a neat environment, and friendly staff. I stopped here while visiting the area for the first time to attend a concert. The building doesn't look like much from the exterior, but the inside has a neat setup if a bit small. It sounds like they typically have a food truck stationed outside with a limited selection, but I was a bit early for that (late morning).
The beer didn't wow me, but it's very drinkable and I quite enjoyed the Bench Warmer porter on nitro. You can buy single bottles or even mix and match a case if you so choose. It's not a bad stop if...
