    Small batch AMAZING moonshine from a woman owned small biz out of Herkimer
    Kate K.

    Was driving by with my dad and said hey turn around I think that's a brewery and we stopped in. Quaint place and I was so overjoyed to see there was a resident dog Nook! I had one of their moonshine beverages and they have plenty of non-alcoholic selections too for drivers. We talked to the owner and his father and learned so much about the business and their drink selections. They even do nights where you can make your own candles and have a drink and instead of paint and sip, they do fragrance and sip nights and yoga with Dogs... So amazing. They also have a ton of merch and beverages to buy. we tried the pickles and the Mohawk Valley fire moonshine, and I was hooked. I had to buy one of each and while I was there, I immediately sent pictures to friends and can't wait to come back with them. such a wonderful spot and so happy to be able to support a small business. Excellent place and wonderful, friendly ppl!

    Definitely worth checking out as well worth the drive if Bill or his father are working! The branding and the stories are unbelievable. Be sure to pick up a growler or consider buying a couple bottles for gifts! They have a variety of wonderful beers and a selection of great gifts. The spring summer and fall are wonderful times to sit outside as well as the winter is a great place to visit and enjoy inside with friends! Great community partner and supporter as well! Visit them today! Maybe I'll see you there!

    Sense of humor!

    Great place to stop after you visit Howe Caverns! Small brewery with good selection of craft beer, ciders and wine! Staff was super! We managed to snag an outside table and it was a beautiful day. Note: The restaurant is not part of the brewery. We had to purchase a bag of chips (due to our wonderful Governor...) but we ordered food from the attached restaurant and it was great. Brewery staff has a sense of humor (note the COVID instructions in the picture!) Would definitely come back!

    Bine of my existence #3 Belgian IPA with simcoe hops. Nice example of the style

We ordered a burger, chicken sandwich, cheese flatbread pizza, and a big pretzel to share and everything was excellent! My only small critique was the cheese sauce for the pretzel was very liquidy when it first came out but once it cooled a bit (few minutes) it was at a nice viscous consistency that was very dip-friendly! Thanks again for a great meal!

I truly enjoyed my Prime Rib Melt, I feel that it's one of the best sandwiches I ever tasted. The bun was soft but crunchy on the inside as it was toasted! It was delicious! The meat was tender and juicy; easy to bite into. I enjoyed my little dessert and the parm fries were good. I would've liked to see more of that garlic sauce on the fries though, most of the sauce was on the bottom. And no complaints on the burger. My only reason for giving 4 stars was because we went at a slow hour yet it was hard to get anyone's attention. The servers crowded up by a table together and waited for customers to come in. It got busy quick though and that's when we got their attention. I'd definitely go back though.

From the exceptional beer and great food to the…read morevariety of activities and the stunning property, Brewery Ommegang is a destination that every beer lover should experience. If you're visiting the Cooperstown area or anywhere in upstate New York, this is an absolute must-see. We've been coming here for years, and every visit reminds us why it's one of our favorite breweries. The staff is always professional, friendly, and attentive, making the experience enjoyable from the moment you arrive. We live in Texas and were in Cooperstown for a baseball tournament, which gave us another excuse to stop by. I had enjoyed Ommegang's Belgian-style beers for years, but this visit gave me the opportunity to explore more of their lineup. I was impressed by the variety of styles available, and everything I sampled was exceptionally well crafted. The food was excellent as well. The poutine was a standout and tasted every bit as authentic as the poutine I've enjoyed in Canada. It's not always easy to find great food at a brewery, but Ommegang delivers on both fronts. The setting is truly remarkable. Located on a 140-acre former hop farm just outside Cooperstown, the property feels more like a Belgian monastery than a brewery. The beautiful buildings, open spaces, and wooded surroundings create an experience that is worth the trip all by itself. The grounds are impeccably maintained and provide a perfect backdrop for enjoying a pint. Having been open since 1997, it's clear that Brewery Ommegang has had decades to refine both its beer and its operation. Everything feels polished, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed. Hands down, this is one of the coolest breweries I have ever visited. Great beer, excellent food, fun activities, beautiful scenery, and outstanding service make Brewery Ommegang a place that we look forward to returning to every time we're in the area.

You are given a buzzer that you put on the table. The waiter will come to deliver the food. There's misunderstanding about our salad order. We ordered regular salad but were given a side dish size. The waiter quickly told the kitchen to make regular size salad.
