Wow! What an awesome little hidden gem! The Apple Brandy was my favorite but you can't go wrong with the Whiskey or Bourbon. If you come down on Saturday evenings they have live music and the atmosphere is really nice. The tasting room is cozy and our server, Brett, was very knowledgeable about their products and so friendly and helpful! read more

Denning's Point was kind enough to let us have our wedding at their distillery. They were extremely kind and accommodating and made the whole day effortless for us. The ceremony and cocktail hour were everything we hoped them to be. Their cocktails were delicious, and the popcorn was an added bonus. We were also thrilled with the jazz band that performed after the ceremony. All in all, completely satisfied. We can't thank them enough for making our special day unforgettable. read more

We stopped here after a hike at Storm King and fell in love! Kieran and Susan (sorry about spelling if i butchered them) were so friendly, fun and knowledgeable. We sat and sampled the Maid of The Mist, Gin, and Whiskey. They were very very good. I loved the Vodka infused with the herbs and such - to die for. We then had Kieran made us a couple cocktails, A Whiskey Sour for my honey and the name of mine I cannot remember but it had fresh brewed tea and vodka with some other ingredients. We throughly enjoyed our stop here and they gave us some great recommendations for good beers and a dinner spot. We will most definitely be back when in the area. read more

Industrial chic vibe, super knowledgeable staff, and incredible value for drinks. The cocktails were stiff and delicious and I would even come back for a mocktail! Loved the bourbon before and glad to have the chance to try all their offerings. read more

Really great distillery. Excellent gin and whiskeys. Came on a Saturday to enjoy the live music and hospitality from Brett in the tasting room. All they are missing is a rye whiskey! read more

The tour was very enlightening and detailed to the science of making of liquor in which was the reason I took the tour. Everyone in the shop was very informative and seemed to take great pride in there product. But if I'm at the place that make the liquor it should be a little less costly. read more

This is a very small Distillery-- The owner will give you a "tour" with your tasting for free, but keep in mind the "tour" is literally sitting around with him in the middle of the room explaining his process. It's still kinda cool, but don't expect to see a lot of things. As far as their actual liquor goes, I found their brandy too sweet, but I'm also not really a brandy drinker and I didn't like the gin. The vodka was very smooth. The bourbon was pretty tasty, too. They make some cocktails with their various spirits in the main room, but you can also ask for something not listed (as long as it's made with their liquor!). Also, free popcorn is ALWAYS a plus :) read more

Really, really cool. Solid set-up, cool tasting room that's super affordable, creative drink menu at the bar, and awesome tour!

Love this place. Mostly because it's local and still keeps that feel, but offers great cocktails and spirits for decent prices. Mark is a fantastic bartender, if you ever get to see him, and he is also good at conversation and keeping things light. They always have music events and I'm hearing about an upcoming chili cook-off soon as well - super fun to stop in and hang out for a short minute or a few hours. One of the greatest NYE parties in town (last year) and they are always introducing new things. keep it up! read more

We stopped in on our vacation and will definitely pop back in next time we're in town. The entire line of Denning's Point Distillery is great especially the Maid of the Meadow. The Beacon bourbon is by far the best I've ever tasted!!! Ever. The staff is awesome and very accommodating. Really cool people!! read more

Denning's Point Distillery - Best bourbon I've ever tasted! All the other spirits rock too but Beacon Bourbon is the best! Staff is really awesome and friendly too! - Distilleries Near Me - Beacon, New York

Good spirits, bad cocktails unfortunately. The man in the tasting room was great and entertaining! However the issue began when we moved from the tasting room to the cocktails. They all look great on the menu but are not made as described. I got the miles davis, which says it has lemon juice, but it's actually a sour mix. It was soooo sweet it was honestly disgusting. I asked for one with less sour mix (because it says lemon juice not sour mix) and they would not make a different one. My partner's cocktail was also very weak. The cocktail ingredients are not as advertised. Good maid of the meadow vodka and blueberry gin (on its own) though. Probably best to take it home and make your own cocktail. read more

Came in on a whim from NYC.. bought a groupon and got a tour and tasting!!! Very friendly and knowledgeable staff... Great experience!! Highly recommend!! read more

Really chill vibe with a variety of great bands. Awesome drink selection with a bartender that knows how to make them well. Definitly ask about the green tea mixed drinks. read more

Karl is an amazing host: funny, intelligent, and does great crowd work. We ended up buying several bottles and hanging out after the tour, drinking cocktails and eating freshly popped corn. Thanks again Karl! read more

Nice establishment, great staff, informative tour. Pretty decent product as well. Made out trip so much more special.

Went there for a tasting. Tried vodka, Dennings White Rye Whisky (pretty much smooth moonshine), and Beacon American Whiskey. Liked them all, in fact I'm not a big vodka fan but enjoyed that, too. Took home a bottle of rye, enjoying it quite a bit neat. The owners run the joint and they are very friendly, informed, and interesting. Don't miss it on a trip to Beacon, even if most of the visitors are from Brooklyn! JK, I don't care who is there, the booze is good. read more

Stopped by this distillery during a trip to beacon. The owners were extremely friendly and gave us a great tour and explained the process of making the various spirits. You can also do a tasting for $5- totally worth it. I'd definitely reccomend stopping by if you're in beacon- it's right off Main Street. read more

Stopped in for a tasting and the owners couldn't have been nicer! Even though they just opened there was a great selection to try, and the tour was fun and informative. Will definitely come back next time we're in town. read more

We had a weekend up in Beacon and we decided to stop at the distillery we found on yelp. The man who runs the place is very knowledgeable and we enjoyed our time here. Definitely a recommend!! read more

Denning's Point Distillery - Distilleries Near Me - Beacon, New York

Dropped by and the owners stopped what they were doing to give us a tour and tasting. Left with two excellent bottles of whiskey.

Great little place. There was live music and all of the drinks were good. We got a "tour" of the distillery from our seat, which was very interesting and educational. The only thing is that it was quite chilly, so I recommend taking a thicker jacket just in case. read more

Dennings Point Distillery was great. The tour was better than I expected and Brett who managed the tasting was excellent. Not only was he a wealth of spirits at Dennings Point but spirits in general. read more

Had a really fun and informative tasting and got an excellent bottle of flavored vodka. This place is a must visit when in Beacon, NY! Great vibes and amazing spirits! read more

Such a great place for some tasting, detail info on how to distil AND a drag show in the evening!! 3 tastings for 5 dollars - a serious measure too! We arrived at 4.15pm and did some tasting and listened to how Bourbon and whiskey is made. We also got to smell various jars of 'tails' and 'hearts'. We had a few drinks at the bar from a lovely young woman with cool style! We came back at 7.30pm for the drag Queen - Pissi Myles. They had popcorn, more drinks and the lights turned down with cute fairy lights. Very cute. What a show too - wow she can sing!! And was a good balance between banter and comedy! In awe of her ability to be so exposed and open up there! Except for the annoying Bryan who dares speak when she did lol. We had the Best time in Beacon!! read more

Very cool place, did a tasting with a friend and tried all 6. The honey vodka was amazing. Brett did our tasting, he was very helpful. I would definitely go back and try their cocktails. read more

We did a tasting and a tour around 5:00 on a Saturday and the owners walked us through the process with great detail. The rye and the bourbon were delicious and unique, definitely a great addition and experience in Beacon! read more

Went to Denning's Point Distillery with my friends and had a blast. The owner Karl was very hospitable and made us feel very welcome. He also made sure our drinks were refreshed often with spirits he distilled himself. A wonderful experience, you have to stop by and see for yourself. read more

I was not a whiskey drinker until I tasted their Beacon variety. It was delicious! My husband and I throughly enjoyed it. And, before he could polish off the last bit, I baked a few pecan pies with it. Never had such great reviews for them! Can't wait to get my hands on another bottle. read more

Nice place as far as distilleries go. We did the tasting - Maid of the Meadow is a delicious, Meade-like vodka, the bourbon is solid and smooth, and the Big 9 Gin is like Willie Wonka's flavor-changing gum (in a good way - I usually hate gin). The other spirits were okay, the bartender-guy seemed nice and the girl running the tasting room was friendly and informative. Solid stop on a casual weekend walk through town. read more

I loved it at Denning's Point! The atmosphere was amazing and the booze were great as well. I am a big fan of their whisky and their maid of the meadow vodka. If you can make it on a night when they have a live band you NEED TO GO! Get the Alyssa it was my fave! read more

This place is awesome. You get to look at a bunch of tanks that presumably hold alcohol and sit at tables that are, if you look closely, upside-down barrels. I came in with the hopes of a free sample (no dice, but they do offer inexpensive cocktails) and left with a bottle of gin. That I paid for, and happily so. read more

It's a friendly place with people who love what they do. The owner is laid back and interested a multitude of subjects. It's the perfect place to relax and learn about the trade among other things. Perfect end to a nearby hike. Plus the cocktails are reasonably priced and strong. Overall great! read more

This was my first time and my new beginning of many happy memories. Our server's name was Brett. He had such a great personality. He made this visit extremely fun and memorable for me and my friends. He was very personable, entertaining and informative. My favorite was the maid of the meadow! Can't wait to come back. read more

Went on a Sat afternoon. Was getting crowded, as it's a small space, but we got a tasting pretty quick. Brett was a great host, made good recommendations, & was very knowledgeable about the products & the process for making/bottling them. Pretty good blues band was playing in larger space of distillery & cocktails were pretty good. Am definitely coming back to enjoy the music & vibe read more

Nice addition to the neighborhood!! Great place to share a drink (or 2) with friends, and Jam Sessions are the best ... so is their Irish Coffee!!! read more

What a fantastic and unexpected find just feet from Beacon's Main Street. The space is inviting and the staff very warm and welcoming. Outstanding products- of course the Maid of the Meadow is not to be missed and their bourbon is a staple in my bar. Well worth a visit and very easy to find. Great stop in particular if they are hosting a Saturday blues jam!!! read more

This is a cool spot to stop in and enjoy some whisky tourism. The tasting room guy Brett was cool and very knowledgeable and friendly. He made us feel welcome. It was busy and the tasting room is small but still fun. It's a small start up operation but who knows where it can go. The copper still was cool to check out too. read more

Their gin is amazingly unique! My fiancee's new favorite. I usually don't like gin, but theirs is a total exception! Their whiskey and vodka get two thumbs up from both of us as well. The owners are so friendly and extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of their processes. The only downside is the tasting was a little underwhelming because of some weird NY laws that limit you to only being allowed to taste 3 different types of alcohol at like an eighth of an ounce each. read more

The tour is excellent. The distiller is quite the character and makes the experience. Their gin is nice. We liked the 7 year whiskey too, but they do not make it themselves. read more
