Every drink is perfection. The bartender is THE BEST. The owner is the best. This place is the best. Plus, it's child- and dog-friendly. My favorite spot in Beacon. Love love love.

I heard about this distillery and wanted to try the local bourbon. During a stroll through Beacon, we decided to stop by. As soon as we walked through the door, we were welcomed by the staff (they were super friendly). They offered a sampling in the tasting room, but I decided to try the Old Fashioned and was not disappointed, I even bought a bottle of bourbon to go. The space was very unique as we sat to enjoy our drinks surrounded by bags of barley and bourbon barrels. I am anxious to return again and bring friends.

Visited this place during the Annual Beacon crawl and what a find. I didn't know there was a distillery here. Nice place to hang out and check out their local spirits and mixed drinks. Thank you for being a part of the crawl !!!

It was a great evening to get to Beacon and taste some Bourbon and yummy vodka! Avery, the tasting host was really cool and informative! We had drinks afterward, and theire bar was full of great specialty drinks! I love Beacon, and this spot topped it off! It's a must when in Beacon, NY!!

LOVE that this place is open, even during COVID. They are following full safety protocol and have "zones" for different things - Tastings - Cocktails - Seating. Limited capacity, and social-distanced. The staff is very friendly and helpful and answered all the crazy questions I asked them about their offerings. Hubby and I came here Friday, right at 2 when they opened, and we each had a cocktail. Cocktail menu is awesome (the names made me literally LOL!!). I had the "Love Handles" and Hubby had the "Comb Over"... we love our bourbon drinks and we loved these!

Great vibe. It's really fun to have a signature cocktail in front of their big distiller. They also have a really cool tasting room with some excellent libations. Everyone is super friendly and the service was really good to.

Perhaps because we came by the end of the day on a Saturday, our experience at DPD did not strike us as particularly warm or unique. Most of the space was being used for a live band performance, which was unique and drew a crowd, but one of the set-up was right in front of the bathroom door, making for super awkward situations for other patrons who needed to use the bathroom. There must be a better set-up. As for the tasting, it took place in a tiny room. It was very cutely decorated and pays deep homage to distillery life. There were three other people in the room by the time we arrived, but throughout our time there, it ranged from just the two of us to about 10, including people waiting outside the tasting room. The guy running the tastings was definitely distracted. He assumed the two of us wanted just 1 tasting of 3, and he didn't tell us much about any of our options. He also accidentally gave my husband 2 of the same kind, but at that point, we were eager to leave and did not complain about it. Lastly, as someone who drinks a bit of bourbon and whiskey, I did not love any of them. There's one with honey that was unique, but it didn't really cross my mind to buy a whole bottle, and I love supporting local businesses. Anyway, I'll chalk this up to it being an "off" Saturday, but I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to recommend this stop to others.

So long story short - I was supposed to go hiking a weekend ago with this couple. It started to rain on our drive up north in the grand state of New York. One of us (not me) in the car deemed it too dangerous to do this hiking expedition. I didn't realize until I was halfway to Woodstock that we were going to be scaling actual rocks. So you can sense my oncoming jubilation after this turned into where can we go to drink instead of committing to this? My friend's girlfriend was in the mood for a distillery as opposed to a winery and this was one of the closest spots to where we ended up getting derailed in our travels. Oh, Beacon. Such a quaint little town. It's like the hipster Brooklyn version of upstate New York. Where rich Brooklyn-ite kids grow up to live the rest of their dreams and open up little art studios or distilleries. . . . . I liked this place quite a bit though. We went in for the $5 tasting - choice of 3 different spirits to sip in a shot sized portion. I went with the Viskill Vodka, Beacon Bourbon, and the Maid of the Meadow. Personal favorite was the Maid of the Meadow - it tastes like honey vodka. Great for sipping on its own, not sure how it would go with cocktails. The vodka was distilled inside of coconut shells. Something very different and unique. Had a bit of a burn to it but a nice sweet lingering aftertaste. The bourbon I liked right in the middle - also an award winner of best spirit in the Hudson Valley area. Nice cinnamon, dark fruits, maple, and vanilla notes going on. Inside of the distillery there was a little bar area and $7 cocktails using their spirits. Not a bad deal. I went with the Shenanigans: Great 9 Gin, Organic Blueberry Jam, soda water. Really pleasantly surprised with this one. They managed to strain that jam out so that you really barely tasted anything muddled up inside. More gin, nice balance. A refreshing and great cocktail. I also tried my friend's Firefly made with gin and grapefruit soda and it was pretty good as well. They seemed to be having a taping for a hulu show while we were visiting so I got a kick out of watching that and had some kind of after party. Definitely a stop worth checking out if you're in the Hudson Valley area and are thirsty for libations.

Cool spot in the center of Beacon. The employees are pleasant and knowledgeable about the facility and the owner is a down to earth, funny and an excellent tour guide. Really enjoyed the tastings and take Home shot glasses were excellent. The tour was really informative and we left knowing more about bourbon than when we walked in. Drinks are reasonably priced and delicious loved the "comb-over". Overall it was an enjoyable time to take friends and enjoy a relaxing Saturday afternoon.

We had a fun tasting and tour of this distillery on Saturday. Friendly and knowledgeable staff explained about each spirit that we sampled. It was an interesting mix of tastes! Then we had a tour and explanation of the distilling process and we learned a great deal. They also sell cocktails and have live music on Saturday nights. (Not every Saturday so call ahead.) Definitely worth a trip for this place :)

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

Title: Exceptional Tour and Truly World-Class Spirits…read more My visit to the Hudson House Distillery was an outstanding experience, elevated by a personal tour with the founder, Charles. The location itself is breathtaking, set in a beautifully restored historic mansion right on the Hudson River. However, the real highlight was getting a behind-the-scenes look at their distillation process. Charles was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate as he walked us through their production of rye, bourbon, gin, and vodka. A must-try is their vodka, which Charles proudly explained is distilled a remarkable 12 times. I can confidently say it is the best vodka I have ever sampled--exceptionally smooth. I was also impressed by their other spirits: Northwest Passage Gin: This gin stands out because it uses naturally soft water sourced directly from their artesian wells. Black Creek Bourbon: I was fortunate enough to sample a limited Founder's Batch of this bourbon. It is truly hand-crafted, made using limestone-softened natural artesian well water. The depth of care and quality put into every bottle is evident, and the personal details shared by the founder made the spirits taste even better. If you have the chance, I highly recommend asking for the tour--it provides an incredible appreciation for the craftsmanship at Hudson House Distillery.

Very cool distillery and restaurant in the Hudson Valley. I can't really speak to the service…read morebecause I was there with a large group of college alumni (nearly one hundred folks). But the food was so well prepared that it should be recognized. We started with a very tasty pork belly bao with hoisin sauce. Their house salad was a very well presented and interesting salad. But they knocked it out of the park with their entrees: roasted branzino with asparagus in a beurre blanc sauce and a strip steak served on a bed of caramelized onions and mushrooms in a bordelaise sauce. In particular, the steak, ordered medium rare, came out tender and perfectly cooked, and was of very high quality. Finally the sticky toffee pudding cake was served warm and was delicious. I would highly recommend the food here. Kudos to the chef!

I came here for a tour and tasting, not for a meal. I've been on probably almost 100 distillery…read moretours across the globe. This was by far the best tour I've ever had. It provided a detailed and hands on explanation of their entire process and the history of the property. It was truly exceptional! Their distilled spirits are excellent. I'm a whiskey fan and their product does not disappoint! While I'm not a huge gin drinker, their gin is incredibly unique and provides a complex tasting experience! Their vodka has a unique creamy texture on the tongue and was also excellent! The final tasting was performed in a beautiful private room where they rent out liquor lockers to frequent visitors! I only wish I lived closer so I could be a regular visitor!

BEAUTIFUL place!! It was actually a little intimidating upon entering this great big hall with high…read moreceiling and rustic chic decor with my 2 kids. A flash of "maybe we should've left the kids at home" thought entered my mind but was quickly reassured by friendly staff greeting us and seating us promptly. A pleasant surprise that they have Thai food here at the distillery. No kids menu but my kids love regular menu food, so no issues. We shared the veggie spring rolls as appetizers. The spring rolls were very small, probably 2-3 bite size, but delicious. We are all very happy with the portion and taste of our main dishes: green curry, spicy minced pork (forgot the name), and pad Thai. Veggie in the dish tasted fresh and cooked to perfection. We all finished the dishes without any leftovers with just enough room for dessert. They only had 1 dessert: NY cheese cake with Thai sauce. I'm guessing this changes from day to day, so we ordered one to share.... Good thing we did! The dessert was $16! Yacks, it was good, but I thought it was a bit pricey. Then again, this place is quite fancy so we knew it wasn't going to a cheap lunch. For reference, the main dishes range $22-34. Mixed drinks $14-$18... Our bill came to $175ish, so a little over $200 meal with tip. They also have a large outdoor space for the kids to run around. Cool large slabs of stone formation. You can order more drinks at the bar and bring the drinks outside. Very nice place, we'll be back.
