My fiance and I ordered at the bar - a pilsner for him and a cider for me. Vosburgh makes their own hard cider and it was fantastic! My fiance liked his beer too.

Having Bluebird there cooking is a good idea though we didn't eat this time. My husband enjoyed the beer but I'm disappointed that you don't have lemonade or soda for those of us that don't drink beer. There are children that come with their parents and flavored seltzer really doesn't cut it. I bring my own lemon & mint water as I don't drink seltzer, a lemonade would've been nice. I think the tables could have been set up closer to the music. Great farm but lacking the ambience I feel. This is our second time there and I thought they vamped it up a little more, guess I was wrong

They let dogs inside which was especially nice during the winter. The food was really good as well. My husband enjoyed his burger with chips and I enjoyed the French onion soup and hummus. I also really enjoyed my ginger kombucha! The staff was very welcoming and friendly. The only thing that could make this brewery even better would be a tv ;). Overall a great place. Will definitely come back when visiting the area again!!

BREWERY WITH FOOD: Very chill scene. Family friendly and doggie friendly. All were well behaved…read more Spacious place with plenty of outdoor seating. Indoor seating was adequate and well utilized on a chilly October day. Busy on a Sunday afternoon. Parking lot is large and adequate. Bathroom was clean. Service was good and surprisingly fast. Staff were all quite nice. You order at the counter and they bring the food and drinks to your table. The line to order was short. They have some interesting bar games, I'll try next time. My wife got a Brut Pick Your Own Raspberry IPA and she enjoyed it. Got food: Vegan Impossible burger was good, I was grateful for the offering, the bun could use some improvement. Wife got regular beef burger and enjoyed, same mushy bun. Brussel sprout salad was good and healthy. We would not order the pretzel bites again, looked like sliced up bagels with goop on top. Fries, large size is very large, appropriate for more than 2 people. Corn fritters were enjoyable. This is a brewery more than a restaurant. Brewery offering is large. Food is limited because it is coming from a food truck. Still, they keep things moving fast. Vegan choices are limited, but I appreciate their awareness. This place would be great if they could elevate their food scene. They have a Trivia night, every 2 weeks and we will come back for that. Helpful?

Plenty of parking and there is a food truck with small bites. The pretzels were delicious (!!!) and the buffalo wings were way too spicy (my partner who loves spice agreed they were tough to eat). Overall I thought this was a pretty good brewery, and I would certainly go back if I find myself in Hudson again!

A tale of 4 breweries…read more So we tried to visit the brewery (#1) across the street for a flight and some food. It closed at 4, then we were going to have a beer at Return (#2) which opened at 4. The first place closed early (before 3:30pm), so we had some time to check out another spot (#3) a bit of a drive away. (5 min). The other place seemed fine, but since my spouse said the 4pm spot was good, we went back. Second customers in after opening, and I asked if they had any food or flights. He very politely told me that they did not have flights or food (tonight, but they did have some bagged snacks) and told me another brewery (#4) had both those things a short distance away (5-10 min/a few blocks). After chatting with the spouse (she and 3 kids had entered), we decided to stay. (Also, as a fun side-note, #4 is the one spouse thought she was taking us to.) We shared half a pilsner (Polished), half a gose (Speed Dial), and half an IPA (Westwhere). The Pilsner ended up being our 3rd favorite, but they were all tasty. We are not big drinkers, so we felt the 1.5 beers each! And since we were staying, we picked up a mandarin soda for the kids to share (special treat) and we all munched on a bit of popcorn, beef jerky, and Zapp's chips. It ended up being a great time! Very affordable, low-key, solid tunes, and super kid friendly. It's a big space, so noisy children are not too noticeable. Also, the man running the bar, again, was super cool. Highly recommend!

They are seeking perfection in more approachable styles as a art form, not a business strategy, and are not engaging in an arms race for bigger beers. Greatly appreciate this, which is why I patronized them since opening. This review specifically covers the brewery space versus solely the beer alone. First time I came with a few buddies, when they were located in their main business. Place looked like an art gallery, which fit oddly well versus being off putting. It fit the beer well. Their canned options were limited, however we had plenty of the stuff on tap. Not many seats however plenty of standing tables which was fine given how long we had been driving. Winner was Crispy Little, which we grabbed a few 4 packs of. Greatly enjoyed the place, as it was one of the best and most enjoyable breweries we visited. Coming back the next year, the setup had become downright lame. Instead of using the indoor space for beer, it was just for merchandise and bottles to go. If you wanted to drink, they had an 'outdoor beer garden', which consisted of a small patio in the parking lot with a few barrels thrown about. With only 2 beer options. And the bartender couldn't be bothered to pour them correctly, in between bad mouthing another brewery down the road. Not exactly a good look, even though the schwartzbier I had was solid (have had Bones Shirt a ton). Need to loop back and try it again now that the taproom in the back has been opened. May revisit this then. I just hope they got rid of that bartender, as microbreweries bashing each other is not cool; he wasn't one of the owners/main guys so at least there's that. Downgrading this 1 star because of that until I can revisit.

Suarez Family Brewery is a craft brewery that opened in Livingston, New York in August 2016. It was…read morefounded by husband and wife Dan and Taylor Cocalis Suarez. The couple first met when they both lived in Brooklyn. Dan started out as a homebrewer living in Brooklyn and eventually he got a job working for Sixpoint Brewery in 2007. He later connected with Hill Farmstead Brewery founder and brewer Shaun Hill. In 2011, Hill hired Dan to be his assistant brewer. The Suarezes left Brooklyn and moved to the Vermont countryside. After Hill took Dan on an inspiring beer trip in Belgium, the Suarezes began to look for a place to start their own family-run brewery. They re-settled in Livingston, New York because the Hudson Valley resembled the same idyllic, bucolic charm found in Vermont. The Suarezes set up shop in a disused, all-brick warehouse. Dan works as the brewmaster while Taylor runs the business side of the operation. The brewery specializes in lighter ales and lagers, or what Dan likes to call "crispy little beers". The same year they opened the brewery, the Suarezes also welcomed their first child, Enzo. Since opening, Suarez Family Brewery has gained a reputation for being one of the best breweries in the Northeast. I recently visited Suarez Family Brewery for the first time while I was driving through the Hudson Valley with my two sons. I had previously sampled some of their beer at a craft beer bar in Brooklyn, but a visit to the brewery had been on my bucket list for a while. A sign at the old brick warehouse informed us that the taproom had been moved to a new structure behind it. The taproom was small, but quiet and cozy. There were only a handful of other visitors during my visit. There was a table with scrap paper and crayons, much to the delight of my two sons. This kept them occupied while I sampled some tasty brews. The ones I tried were "Walk, Don't Run" (Hoppy Blonde Ale), "Crispy Little" (Hoppy Pale Ale), and "Backroads" (Sumac Country Beer). All three were great, but the latter was truly exceptional! I was VERY impressed with the types of beer coming out of the brewery. Before leaving, I also purchased a bottle of "Lo And Behold" (Barrel-Aged Flemish Red Ale) to bring home. I highly recommend Suarez Family Brewery to all serious craft beer aficionados!

There is a huge parking lot located behind the brewery/restaurant with ample parking. We were seated immediately on a Saturday evening and brought menus and drinks. We ordered a few appetizers to start and if we were still hungry we were planning to order more. The chicken wings here are an absolute must. The chicken is tender and moist with a crisp exterior. The Cajun sauce was similar to buffalo but packed a better kick. We also ordered the Bavarian soft pretzels and garlic knots. The garlic knots were so light and fluffy and the marinara sauce was well seasoned and extra garlicky in flavor which we both enjoyed. The Bavarian pretzels were so good on their own they didn't even need the beer cheese or mustard dipping sauce. We were stuffed and did not have room for any more food. Can't wait to come back and check out the rest of the menu. Pricing is extremely reasonable as well.
