On tap 7/31/25
Bill Z.

This is indeed an enjoyable, relaxing, spot for a drink or two. That's especially true in nice weather given the seating options. There's plenty of parking space too. What's on tap probably changes frequently here. I had checked their list on their website a couple of days earlier, and either the site was a little old, or beers had already changed. There wasn't anything on the current list that matched my regular preferences, so I had the opportunity to select something out of my "zone." I opted for Rosalie, a mixed culture saison. It was very crisp and refreshing, with a prominent but not overwhelming floral palate. Food options are limited to popcorn and snacks plus whatever food truck might be there, so check their calendar of events for that. Also, payment in cash will be 50 cents cheaper per pour than paying by credit.

Such a beautiful spot to enjoy a beer! I was so overwhelmed at the beauty of the farm upon driving up. It's so peaceful and the staff is incredibly welcoming. They had several different types of beers on tap. I ended up trying the Mexican Lager called Campo Libre and my boyfriend had the Spinning Jenny Pale Ale. Both were so refreshing! We grabbed seats next to one of their fire pits and enjoyed music from a local band. They had a wood fired pizza food truck and though we didn't try it, it was a great option for everyone. I highly recommend the brewery to anyone looking to escape the city and enjoy a great brew!

Farm brewery with a great farm and mountain view. It's a really nice outdoor space with lots of outdoor seating options. Picnic tables, Adirondack chairs, etc. There are a few tables inside as well. They have live music often so check social media. Definitely a great place to enjoy outdoor seating and beautiful views while drinking great beers. Slightly different prices for cash vs credit cards so we have paid cash every time. Staff is super friendly and welcoming. Check it out if you are in the area!

Come for the sunflowers, stay for the beer and the atmosphere! My friends and I spent a lovely afternoon at Dancing Grain this past Saturday. Luckily, although their sunflower festival had ended the week before, we were still lucky enough to take in some beautiful flowers! The staff was friendly, attentive and accommodating from the moment we entered. There were food trucks on site to satisfy our hunger. Overall, a wonderful time and will definitely return!

I've heard mixed things about Dancing Grain since they opened and have been hesitant to go, but they recently had a food truck (cousins maine lobster) that we wanted to hit...so we hit it. It was a cool, blustery Sunday and the Bills game was on. Lots of Bills fans were there to enjoy food and bevs. I tried the stout and really liked it-heavy notes of coffee and overall delicious flavors. The N/A option was good-a light, refreshing option for a designated driver or someone that doesn't do alcohol. The young man behind the counter was pleasant and friendly. The property is in a really scenic spot and has great views outside. I've seen pics from when the sunflowers are in bloom, but it's still nice off season. Outdoor patio heaters probably would have kept us there longer as the few tables available inside were full. I did notice fire pits but no fires going-so we only had one drink each. I'll visit again in the future, I'm sure.

My first time trying Dancing Grain brews was at the last Yelp Event and I loved their Mexican Lager. I decided to stop by today for their Pups & Pints Event and I highly recommend coming to their beautiful space!! The IPAs are amazing and pretty much everything else. Thank you for sharing your amazing space with us all to enjoy. There were monarch butterflies all over the place and it was really a great way to end a rainy weekend.

Back again for more! This time the Hay Day American Lager is quite good. Best view in the Glens Falls/Saratoga area. Not pleased with the planned cost to take pictures with the sunflowers again this fall but it must be working for them. Lastly, nothing evokes more negative energy than loud country music. Jesus.. you might as well be playing Dubstep. I get it, your farmers... but you don't walk around the place in your manure covered mud boots. Why on earth would you play this God awful music and play it so freaking loud? Switch it up a bit: Classic Rock, Alternative, Pop, Bluegrass, Dubstep (kidding), anything... You know I'm right.... Seriously, I would have stayed for another beer?

Vibe is perf for a chill, laid back night to enjoy a few brews and friendly conversation. They don't have food at the brewery, but they did have Ted's Fish Fry food truck on the premises so you can get some food to enjoy with your brews. Service was also awesome!

Strictly Social IPA

Great views in Summer and fall. Dancing Grain is a family owned farm brewery doing as much as they can with their own and other local materials. Beers are decent, but leave room for improvement. It's a great place to catch a sunset.

Tasty, creative and interesting beers. Nice person working. Beautiful, quiet seating overlooking the Adirondacks and colorful fields. Enjoyed my visit very much.

Stole Fire Stout at outdoor seating area
Rob W.

What a glorious spot the owners have built this new brewery on--and their fledgling beers are promising enough to make you believe they'll mature enough to the point they can compete with the stunning views you'll enjoy while drinking them. Perched on a hill overlooking a gigantic sunflower field, with ample outdoor seating as well as a spacious, partially covered bar area, it is simply hard to imagine a more bucolic setting to kick back with friends over some thoughtful, carefully crafted beers. Got the opportunity to speak with the proprietor, Rachel, and she is clearly passionate about the business and space and land--largely family farmland--and plans for rotating drafts that will change frequently and feature ingredients harvested directly from the gorgeous farmland and area you are overlooking. I was able to try a Stolen Fire stout on her recommendation--a subtle, inventive pint with hints of fennel from the farm. Also enjoyed a Cream of the Crop cream ale and took a four pack to go of the Strictly Social IPA, a collaboration with nearby Common Roots that was truly excellent. The beer is incredibly promising--not amazing yet but very i can't wait to see what else they come up with. And return to this fantastic venue to try out those rotating beers. Sounded as if they are planning to stay open all year as weather allows--a number of small fire pits look available for some of the outdoor seating.

Tasty IPA

Another awesome Breakfast at the most popular breakfast place in our area! And it's just down the…read moreroad from us! All their pancakes are amazing, even though with my sodium issue I only get a taste of my husband's. My ole favorites were Pumpkin and their classic Sugar & Spice with the perfect amount of sweetness and spice mix. I wish they would serve saltless grits! That would make this girl happy! I only eat a couple of the potatoes, they are very tasty however salt is used or the rest of you wouldn't be eating them....am I right! Of course, my eggs were cooked perfectly! I keep forgetting you have ice cream! They also have many local theme items for sale and don't forget to not head home with Vermont's local Maple Syrup! If you came in March you will get to see the sap being processed into syrup!

Our usual day trip for pancakes spot is in New Hampshire. Sadly, they are closed on Wednesdays, so…read morewe needed an alternative venue for our pancake and maple syrup tradition. After searching reviews across four states, Maple Sugar & Vermont Spice was clearly at the top of the list. Three hours after leaving the Boston suburbs, we pulled into the parking lot. The scenery was beautiful we were hungry, and we were happy to be promptly seated by our friendly host. Every positive thing you read in the reviews is true. The staff is friendly. The food is plentiful and wonderful. However... we were not seated in the main dining room. We were brought to an auxiliary room on the west side of the building. The most dominant feature of the room was the white interior sloped ceiling, barn-like wood paneling occupying about two-thirds of the horizontal portion of the walls, and a few coffee mugs and small photos resting atop the paneling. There was a small casement window in the center of the southwest wall. This room had all the charm and natural light of a church basement in Indiana. The comparison to the main dining room is stark. The main room has a view of the grill, and is filled with all the syrup and souvenirs they could possibly fit into the space. The main room is as funky and fun as the auxiliary room is sad and depressing. Will we go back to Maple Sugar & Vermont Spice? Absolutely. The food and service was wonderful. However, we would insist on sitting in the main dining room. If you go, you should, too.

Time for another review. The creemees are a bit larger than last year it seems, and the prices are…read morestill super-reasonable. No surprises at the Sugar Shack, a delightful trip through rural NY and South-Western Vermont, albeit 40 plus miles one way for us. Been there perhaps a dozen times since 2024, still have found nothing that would make me even think about a rating less than 5 stars. I am a picky, demanding, relatively hard to please customer. I believe that the key to running a business is consistency. Run whatever kind of business you want to run but be consistent. The customer has a right to know what to expect next time, after his first visit . Any business can hit it just right and deliver a world class experience once; the key to a steady 5 star rating is to deliver that time and time again. Sugar Shack does exactly that. Their creemees are, quite simply put, perfect. First time, third time, eighth time, twelfth time. Never varying in intense maple flavor that tastes just like syrup right out of the jug. Never poor consistency. Always, always, thick and creamy and substantial. I did notice one difference late last summer; the size of the large cones increased a bit with no corresponding price increase. Prices for the creemees are super reasonable. Five of us went there the other day and the bill was pennies over $20. Two larges, 3 smalls. For a premium quality cone filled with plenty of ice cream, being sold in a touristy area, that is phenomenal. Don't like ice cream? What the heck is wrong with you???? :) Nevertheless, their apple cider donuts, especially the cinnamon coated version, are really good. Always fresh, and much less greasy than the genre is known for. Not heartburn, no disgusting grease soaked bag on the way home, just plain great flavor and freshness. Time for a bit of a ramble. These people, and their business, are real. The two young ladies that run the store are charming and efficient. They are nice to customers because they are nice people, not because there is a tip jar on the counter. I have been on enough cruises and eaten in enough restaurants in my 76 years to have developed a pretty accurate sense of someone being phony because they are in a tipped position, and being blunt, this ain't that. It would seem that the key to the Sugar Shack for me is the realness, the staff, the creemees. Somehow though there is more. They have a wonderful tree shaded side yard with old fashioned picnic tables. Those tables outside, so unassuming, so very not fancy, so utterly 'country', just fit perfectly with the trees and the overall rural ambiance. Going there is relaxing and brings me back to being a much much younger version of myself. Born and raised in NYC, at 14 the family moved to a town in Upstate NY with a population of 1200. Sugar Shack brings back memories of little roadside ice cream places and snack bars and a slower, more peaceful, just plain better time. The owner and her staff (relatives if I understand correctly) are providing a lot more than ice cream and maple syrup and assorted delicious premium treats and foodstuffs. They are bringing us back in time to when business was interactions between people, not transactions with a multi-national corporation. Well done, ladies, well done.

We took a 2 hour drive from New Hampshire just for their apple cider donuts. We were very…read moredisappointed. Donuts weren't hot even at 10am, and they weren't very tasty. They didn't taste like apple at all, just cinnamon/sugar. The positives: Plenty of local Vermont syrup and they did have a public bathroom.
