Fairport Brewing Company — Restaurant in Town of Perinton

I am leaving this review from a place of concern and not disdain as I truly want to see the best for this brewery; I will start my review by saying the tap list was vast with many options and the service was fantastic, especially considering how busy of a night it was (for reference; Friday, July 14th, not sure of the servers name) and being the only server behind the bar. I genuinely appreciate that this brewery supports local musicians and that we had some easy listening covers of notable classics to enjoy. With all that being said I believe there is cross contamination between the Symbiotic Culture Of Bacteria and Yeast in the Kombucha and the beer. My group of 4 tried at least 8 of the beers on tap and they all have the same sour, borderline rotten finish on the palette, and based on other reviews people have noticed it. I won’t say that I am a professional by any stretch of the imagination but I have been studying and practicing for long enough to understand what a cross contamination tastes like and at least 8 other people in line were also talking about the off flavors present in the beer and discussing other options as I could hear them speaking directly behind me. I don’t know if you ferment and keg all of it in the same fermenters and kegs but based on the taste a pretty bad outbreak has occurred and if you are using the same kegs and fermenters for both products I would cut operations on that as soon as possible, and even separate the brew houses as bacterial contamination can spread like wildfire and it is extremely important to keep them completely separated. At first I thought it was the lines, but I had a Jostaberry cider made at Blue Barn Cider and it was the only palatable drink I tried off the tap leading me to firmly believe this is without a doubt a bacterial contamination. I hope you guys can figure it out and get it under control. I will be back in a few months and hope for an improvement in quality. Again I am no professional, but I tried the stout, fluffy ipa, blonde ale, blueberry wit, the sour, and Apollo and they all shared the same sour off flavors. Sincerely, A...

This place has zero respect for the residents of the village of Fairport. Their music is incredibly loud, and throughout the summer goes until 11PM. If you live, work, or do anything even remotely close to the venue, you will hear the shrill voices of the singers and feel the base go right through you. It is nearly constant through the entire evening. They have their volume, especially their vocals extremely loud. You can hear this place from 3pm-11pm many weeknights of the summer and weekends in the fall. Kids are trying to sleep, people are trying to relax. It's every. single. weekend.

This is a very common topic at any of the businesses nearby. I've heard several people agree and echo the complaints of myself and others about how unnecessarily loud their music is. You are in the center of the village. There are homes all around you. Tell your musicians they need to lower their volumes....

I like the spot and the outdoor patio on the corner, fun with music and they have the connect 4 and corn hole that my kids like to play with. I do have to say their beer selection has gone downhill. It's a ton of kombucha on tap, out of season beers like their Oktoberfest beer in mid-June. Last time I tried fluffy it was a new keg, and it looked green, never settled after 10+ min and tasted horrible. They need more normal IPA's and lagers, etc. Its worth going if you want to sit outside and have 1 drink for some music, but if you're looking to enjoy beer, and a different selection of good beers, this is not the place (ironically). I do agree with some of the other reviews - as a craft beer lover for years, there is something very off with the taste of some of...
