Rustic Ridge Winery was so much fun! It is a friendly, family owned winery in Burlington Flats…read more There are sometimes food trucks here as well and they get packed on the weekends. We did a tasting of 5 different wines for $7 - the Lazy Days Dry Rose, Untamed Red, End Post Red, Riesling Semi Sweet, and Blueberry. You can pay $10 to keep a souvenir glass! My favorites were the Untamed Red and the Blueberry. The Blueberry went really well with some Sparkle too - almost like a blueberry mimosa. We ended up bringing a bottle of the Untamed Red back with us!

Their tastings are generous coming from NYC at $6 for 5 tastings and their bottle average around $17ish for high quality wines of many varietals. Their sparkling wine is a favorite, also the traminette and the cab franc. You'll feel like family when you walk in, the owners/hosts are so sweet and kind and take great care of their patrons. Sit out back in the summer! Such a beautiful space.

Cute little facility with the friendliest of bartender. Despite the number of people at the bar, she worked with everyone to ensure they were paid attention to and answered questions. I tried the stout, burly Beard, very good, full flavor. They had a good truck, Gabriana's Mobile Express. Pizza slice, quesadillas and loaded waffle fries! All fabulous. We ate all of it. Place has inside and outside seating, quiet area with games to play inside.

Decent enough brewery but not particularly spectacular…read more My wife and I stopped by on a whim as we saw a sign pointing out the turn where the brewery is. We went in and tried a flight. Everything was ok, but nothing more. The server was friendly but after serving our flight we didn't really have much interaction. I wouldn't say he ignored us, but the staff (there were 3 people working) weren't particularly engaging. The ambiance is pretty cool with a baseball theme. Makes sense since Cooperstown is home of the Baseball Hall of Fame. They have one back room that has a wall that is painted to look like a scoreboard and outfield wall and another wall painted to look like a bench of a baseball field. There was a food truck on site the day we went (looked like a pizza food truck) but we had just eaten so we didn't get any food. I don't think they have their own kitchen. Another thing that's an oddity is that 2 out of the 4 beers I tried weren't in the Untappd app. Seems like they were slightly disorganized in that way. We also noticed that online it says they're only open Friday - Sunday; but when we went in they were advertising being open 7 days a week. Seems like they have some work to do to get things more organized.

What a fun, chill spot! We found this as a great in-between place to meet up with family for an…read moreafternoon--just down the road from Ommegang. This brewery, originally founded in Queensbury, NY, opened this outpost in May and was thankfully open on Labor Day. The vibe is laid-back with a good amount of airman-style décor, and we were greeted by Shug, the shop dog--a super friendly Newfoundland who instantly set the tone. The bartender was warm, welcoming, and easy to chat with. Even at the tail end of a busy holiday weekend, when they were out of a few beers, there were still solid options on tap plus canned cocktails from other NY-based distillers. Food came from the onsite truck--standard bar fare but executed really well. We had the pretzel sticks and a grilled cheese with onion rings, and both were excellent pairings for the drinks. They offer flights, but since I usually stick to wheat beers (and they had just run out), I went with water and the canned cocktails. The beer lovers with me all found plenty to enjoy from the tap list. Overall, this spot has that easygoing farm-brewery vibe that makes it a great stop in the area. I'll definitely be checking out one of their other locations soon to finally try their wheat beer!

Let's face it, the brewpub/brewery market is taking a hit. It's not enough to just make excellent…read morebeer, you have to create an inviting space, a place people will want to return to. Good news: Northway has figured this out and nailed it. Building on the bones of the Red Shed Cooperstown facility (RIP), Northway has spruced things up a bit, splashed a bit of Adirondack-ia (is that a word?) around the taproom to put their imprint on it, and otherwise kept all the good bits from the previous tenant. There's the obligatory cornhole courts, space to play wiffleball, and lots of picnic tables in a comfortable, down home space. The food truck is still in place, cranking out pretty good chicken and pulled pork sandos. The only bummer was they were out of onion rings. The tap selection is great; my pal who loves IPAs really digs their Avenue of the Pines (the name makes we think of the Redwoods). I thought their brown and red ales were perfectly drinkable - sometimes, that's all you need or want. Bonus points for awesome label art that looks great on t-shirts. We went to the "other" bigger place first, and I'll say Northway wiped away our disappointment and left us with smiles on our faces. Good work, folks!

The beer is flavorful and I recommend "hooking up" your Brookie. Think Michelada, but with more citrus. They have a set menu for snacks so not really a place for a full meal. However, check the website as they seem to have rotating food vendors. We had the vegan nachos with Indian flavors which was amazing. It's a small space but that adds to the charm! Lots of outside seating, hunter lounge feels, and friendly staff with their mascot cat.

They, of course, offer a wide variety of beers as well as wines, cocktails, frozen cocktails, and their craft sodas as well. There were plenty of tables to sit at, and they provided activities including corn hole and Jenga games. I ordered McKenzie's Pumpkin Jack Cider with a cinnamon and sugar rim, and my boyfriend got the Octoberfest beer. We also ordered a Bavarian pretzel with beer cheese and mustard and an order of nachos with chicken. Both were delicious! The beverages and food are in separate areas. Once you place your food order, they give you a buzzer to keep to notify you when it's ready to be picked up.
