    This is one of our favorite breweries in the Hudson Valley. We love to meet friends here for a good beer and a good time. It may sound cheesy but it describes exactly the atmosphere of this place, a good time full of friendly people. It's a 2 two story building with plenty of seating. I have been here many a time where the upstairs is rented out for a private event. They also have two outside decks full of tables and chairs which is perfect to sit at when the weather is nice. And trust me when the weather is nice this place is packed!!!! The food here is delicious. In the warmer months they have a pizza food truck that comes. The pizza is sooo good my favorite is one they sell that has a white sauce on it instead of marinara it is delicious. The brewery itself makes small bites and has a few sandwiches that come with a bag of potato chips. They are also good. Last time we came our friends got the meatball sub and it was huge!!! They said it was amazing. They have a great selection of beers including IPAs, Stouts, Sours, and Ciders. I will say this brewery is what kindled my love for Sour beers. They have one that tastes like a red Starburst, so yummy! They also have non alcoholic beer and spirits on their menu. The staff is also friendly. I have seen them frazzled a time or two when it's really busy which is understandable. All in all it's good service both bar tenders and other staff that is working hard cleaning up tables ams sweeping to make sure the tables are ready for the next round of people. Also to note this is not table service. You go to the bar and order your food and either pay there or open a tab. They then bring out your food to you. You can also get beers to take home and other merchandise such as shirts, jackets, and some packaged food items. It very family friendly! Every time I come I see tons of families here, which is nice. Oh and the last thing to note the bathrooms are always clean!!! Which is something I really appreciate about any place that is serving food and drinks.

    Really nice brewery! Leans heavily towards sours, some IPAs. I actually enjoyed the black lager, cider, and blended wine - all were wonderful. The outdoor patio is gorgeous, so lush and green all around, great big umbrellas to shield from the sun. You order inside but staff come around to pick up empty glasses, so overall it's very comfortable. I highly recommend this place.

    You can't convince me otherwise that the best part of Beacon is Hudson Valley Brewery. My repeat trips to this quaint little town hinges on an end-of-day stop right here. What makes this establishment so memorable and so sought after? Let me count thy ways. Hudson Valley awaits at the end of Beacon's Main Street, a fitting finale to a day spent ducking in and out of shops. Its wide open spaces and available sitting is a welcome sight for sore feet. Its diverse array of drinks, from wines to beers to sours, will quench any type of thirst. My drink of choice are their sours, and as someone who previously did not like these kinds of drinks, I was thoroughly converted. Perfect for people who don't like beers, their sours are berry-forward with a tartness that cuts through the sweet flavors. It's so good, I even lugged a six-pack home all the way to the train and back to the city! You simply cannot visit Hudson Valley Brewery without trying their pizza. It's one of my favorites. Cooked in an outdoor brick oven, their pizzas are charred to perfection; their crust thin yet provides a satisfying substantial bite; and their pie topped with ooey gooey cheese. Although I don't doubt that anything you order will be delicious, I have tried their sausage and pepper pizza, as well as their margherita, and can attest to how delicious they are. If you're visiting Beacon, end your day here at Hudson Valley Brewery. It's the ideal last stop.

    I really can't say enough good things. Finally a brewery that loves and respects sours. Some of the best beer I've ever had. Not only do they taste and look amazing, but they smell great too! Service was very kind, not pushy or pompous like you see at some breweries.

    Very beautiful brewery with a lot of space inside and out. They offer many IPAs. But there is something for everybody on the draft menu. The price is really decent and the beer was refreshing. If you're deciding to do a beer walk, you can start at this brewery and work your way up back towards the train station in Beacon .

    Stopped by Hudson Valley Brewery during a day trip to Beacon after hiking. This place definitely draws a crowd indoors and outdoors! When we arrived, there were people everywhere and a massive queue to order. It didn't take too long to get to the front as there were multiple team members with POS systems taking orders at the bar and there was a worker by the line asking if we had any questions before ordering. I got myself the blueberry cider and it was super sour! Not my personal fave, but I really loved the vibes of this place. Super cute, warm lighting, and tons of seating types (couches, arm chairs, tables, etc.) Would come back again and try a different drink!

    Delicious sample of cider, thank you! Dnjoyed a full pint of milk stout and it was delicious and even light for this type. The location and landscape is gorgeous. Thanks to a local and 'regular' at the Brewery, Barry, who was so friendly and treated me! Just a great place, look forward to return to eat with friends.

    So I haven't been here in forever but my husband and I stopped in to get out of the cold and enjoy a pour or two and wow, the renovations they've done since we were there last are beautiful! A lovely wood interior full of plants, a nice long bar, and lots of seating, Too cold for the patio when we were there, but it looks great. Beer was as incredible as ever. My husband loved his Pilsner and I had a great sour farmhouse ale. They have a pizza vendor on site, but we didn't eat. They looked good from afar though! Great accessibility. There's a steeper paved path to the tasting room from the lower parking area, but there is also a ramp around the other side of the building as well if you need it. They have multiple gender neutral single restrooms and a nice big family/accessible restroom complete with an easy to open soft close door. They also have an elevator!! A very welcome addition to a space that helps everyone enjoy it.

    A great place for relaxing with a nice cold beer and some pizza! The tap room is super spacious and the seats are first come, first serve. There is also an outdoor patio and tons of outdoor tables. There are tons of options for beers and the menu rotates but featured lots of local beers. There is a dining menu, but there is also a 3rd party pizza truck outside while the pizza ovens are getting renovated. The pizzas are great - wood fired and thin!

    Hudson Valley Brewery is a craft brewery that opened in Beacon, New York in February 2017. It was founded by John-Anthony Gargiulo and brewers Michael Renganeschi and Jason Synan. Gargiulo had spent several years working in the film industry in Los Angeles. Although he had worked as a dolly grip on some major films, and was on track for a promotion to key grip, he suddenly decided to give up his Hollywood career. The grind of the film industry had finally taken its toll on him. Gargiulo moved back in with his parents in the Hudson Valley and came up with an idea to start his own garage brewery. He eventually formed a partnership with Renganeschi and Synan who had brewed at the Brewery at Bacchus in New Paltz. The trio acquired an old factory building in Beacon that was in pretty bad shape. They gutted the whole place and got to work on setting up a brewery. When the brewery finally opened, they brewed a variety of different styles. However, it was their Sour IPAs that caused long lines to form outside on Saturday mornings. Today, Hudson Valley Brewery has earned a reputation for being not just one of the best breweries in the Hudson Valley but one of the best in the Northeast. I recently stopped at Hudson Valley Brewery while I was passing through the Hudson Valley. I had heard great things about them and I thought that I would stop there for dinner. The location in downtown Beacon is very charming. When I arrived, the place was packed. Their parking lot was completely filled, but fortunately I was able to finding street parking nearby. The brewery was beautiful and had plenty of seating inside and outside. I grabbed a seat inside and started off with short pours of "Giant Steps Backwards" (English-style Amber Ale; collab with Root + Branch Brewing & The Veil Brewing) and "Triple Pillow Hat" (Triple IPA). Both beers knocked my socks off! For food, I ordered the "Burrata & Blood Orange Salad" (fresh burrata with fennel, frisée, blood orange, pomegranate, hot honey and pistachio, dressed with Valley Beer lemon-saison vinaigrette). It was out of this world! Afterwards I had a delicious plate of "White Peach Gelato" (topped with sour amarena cherries in syrup and almond brittle) which I paired with short pours of "Pineapple Peach Glycerin" (Double Fruit Sour Double IPA) and "Valley Beer Vintage 2023: Cherry" (Wine Barrel-Aged Sour Farmhouse Ale). Again, my tastebuds went on a roller coaster ride. Hudson Valley Brewery didn't just meet my expectations... it surpassed them! I think they are easily on of the best breweries in the Northeast and I can't wait to return!

    A lovely brewery a short train ride outside of Manhattan -- they have a lovely outdoor patio that's easily accessible from the Beacon trailhead. We stopped by after hiking and it was a lovely way to end the day. They have a great selection of beers, wines and other drinks -- there's something for everyone. They have small bites and pizza too, all of the pies were fire. I'm obsessed with the branding and merch -- it's all done by Evan Cohen, who's one of my favorite artists! I'll definitely be back!

    Very cool and classy! Location is right in downtown Beacon. Such a clean contemporary place. Service was great, staff is super friendly and knowledgeable.

    Enjoying the delicious sour and the cool fall weather

    Was fortunate to visit this brewery in Beacon over the past weekend. Found it to be friendly, fun with delicious food and drink. The outside patio was where the real action was as friends both new and old gathered and enjoyed their pizzas, beer, cider and each other's company. Will definitely visit again.!

Between Industrial Arts (which brews some of my…read moreall-time favorite beers), Hudson Valley Brewery, Two Way, and a handful of others, you could spend a whole weekend here just brewery hopping. Draught Industries fits right into that scene. It's a spot run by people who clearly care about craft beer, with a long, rotating tap list and a laid-back, slightly quirky vibe. But what surprised me most was the food. I started with the pulled pork sandwich with ghost pepper aioli. The pork was tender and smoky, and the aioli brought real heat without drowning out the meat. If you like spice, get it. The real reason I'll be back, though, is the wild boar tacos. I love wild boar, and you almost never see it on a menu, so I ordered it the second I saw it. They come topped with guacamole, pineapple pico de gallo, and habanero peppers. The richness of the boar, the creamy guac, and the sweet pineapple against the habanero heat all worked together perfectly. Easily some of the best tacos I've had in the Hudson Valley. Great beer, bold food, and a menu willing to take chances. If you're doing a Beacon brewery crawl, make Draught Industries a stop. And come hungry.

The Bee's Knees cocktail wasn't for me. It was way too sour. That said, I think that's more on me for ordering it than the drink itself since it's meant to have that flavor profile. The shrimp scampi was easily the best dish we ordered. So good. Make sure to dip the baguette into the buttery shrimp sauce. If you're sharing, I'd recommend ordering extra bread because you'll definitely want it. The garlic parmesan wings were excellent. We also tried the blackberry BBQ wings. I didn't really care for that flavor combination but I'm still glad I gave them a shot. Both flavors had big meaty wings that were cooked perfectly. The mac and cheese was really good. Definitely more of an elevated version with a lot going on. I enjoyed it but it was a little too fancy for the kiddo who prefers a simpler mac and cheese. The chicken tenders were very basic and the fries that came with them were pretty weak. We also ordered the garlic parmesan truffle fries which were much better than the regular fries, even if they weren't anything special. The lemonade was also too sour for my taste. We ended up adding sugar ourselves and after that it was much better. Overall, we had a good meal. The shrimp scampi and garlic parmesan wings were the clear standouts, service was friendly, and the atmosphere made for an enjoyable experience. I'd come back, but I'd definitely order differently next time.

Always a wide variety of beers, the brown ale is my husband's fave while I tend to go for one of their ciders. Yesterday, there to watch the Premier League opener, I opted for a Gin & Tonic. Whoa, legit was probably the best G&T I've had a a bar in ages! They use a local gin from Warwick too. So if you're just going for drinks and a game/match you're in very good hands. But don't overlook their food offerings. The menu has been dependable (smash burger never fails) but they've added some new items and they are really super. The Birria tacos are a new item and are served in blue corn tortillas. Delicious. Poutine is absolutely yummy with savory gravy topped w fresh green onion. Even the chips & guacamole are stepped up w terrific double crunchy chips. The space is gorgeous, wide open and bright with high ceilings, wide tables and benches. So you never get that feeling that you've entered a black hole time warp on a lovely day. The real cherry on top of the place is the staff and vibe. Greeted kindly by every staff member with easy conversation about the game or what's on offer. It's a welcoming place for sure with an ace in the hole of how it strives to craft community first. So all this, along with quality food & drink? It's class. Well done Newburgh Brewery! Looking forward to our next visit!

I reminisce arcade video games were always localized at shopping malls. Happy Valley Arcade Bar contains many games and snacks as well as alcohol and non-alcohol drinks are available. There is a coin change machine which was not working. This arcade video game business does contain a bathroom facility. It does provide a temporary mental detox or mental phlegmatic disposition from life's stressors in a casual relaxed atmosphere without judgment and without pressure of looming deadline for quota. There is also a small photo booth which can only fit two people. It was impossible to cramp six adults in this miniscule booth. There is an outdoor patio for seating. I hoped to see Grand Theft Auto, but to no avail. Arcade cabinet games are: Pac-Man 1980 I played for $0.25 and lost at the first round. Donkey Kong 1981 No comment. I did not play. The Simpsons 1991 No comment. I did not play. This depicts violence as Maggie is kidnapped because a large stolen diamond, inadvertently, landed in her mouth during a melee and she begins sucking on it like a pacifier. The rest of the Simpsons family gives a violent chase in pursuit for retrieving Maggie. Mortal Kombat II 1993 No comment. I did not play. Street Fighter II 1993 No comment. I did not play. KungFu Kickball I was on the red team to punch, kick and headbutt a ball into the opponent's bell and won against a good longtime male friend who was on the blue team. The final score 3-2. I feel like Danielle de Barbarac who slaughtered her longtime childhood male friend, Gustave in mud fights. "Boy or girl, I can still whip you!" Danielle de Barbarac in "Ever After: A Cinderella Story" 1998 film. Because the capable woman is never far away as I am right here! Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2002 Wow! This dancing video game reminds me of the movie "The Kissing Booth" which appears exactly as is. Pinball Oh, my inner child surfaces! No comment. I did not play. Pinball games are very classic and simple as the objective are all the same with a carbon steel or chrome steel ball with flippers. It is a game of chance. I would play pinball at outdoor fairs or festivals while eating funnel cake with strawberries. I remember playing Initial D Arcade Stage: Cycraft Edition 2003 where the seat drastically shifted, leaned, and jerked violently sideways to perfectly match the mountain-pass touge drifting mechanics of the motion-simulator racing game. I remember I jackknifed a vehicle! I lost this five minute racing game with my then boyfriend. Disappointedly, this video game cabinet is not available at Happy Valley Arcade Bar.
