    A nice selection of board games while you drink
    Jacqueline A.

    Right up the road from the Beacon train station and Bannerman castle boat tour dock. It was hot & humid we just finished the tour of Bannerman Castle, we needed to quench our parched mouths. Yes, water was also consumed, but a sampling of local beers is better. The main room of the taproom was cozy, the ack room was much more spacious. There were 7 beers on tap and one cider, we couldn't decide so we did 2 flights to try them all A nice array of flavors. There was a food truck in the parking lot if you wanted a nosh. We just got some popcorn and drank. Nice vibe. A couple was setting up to play live music. The Olympics was playing on their large screen next to the bar. Not a bad place to come hang after work with colleagues or friends.

    Stopped by with some band mates shortly before closing (10pm) on a Friday Night. A few patrons hanging around and a dog or two. Tried their hazy IPA which was okay but not blown away. Cool space and friendly bartender. Even though we got there at last call, they didn't rush us out the door. The ambiance is decent but nothing super special. Definitely worth stopping in and checking out.

    After a morning of hiking I stopped in with the hiking crew for a quick brew. When I think of "brewery" I always expect a really large space but this place is on the smaller size. They do have fairly large tables if you come with a small group and they even have some minor bar games you can attempt while drunk. I tried the "Zen" and found my zen chilling with great hiking friends. They offer a small selection of food and some outdoor seating as well. It's a cute spot if you want a quick brew. If you arrive with a really large group I'd be worried about seating, otherwise definitely a nice spot.

    Stopped in after a long day at Storm King and Beacon NY. It wasn't too backed in the late afternoon on a weekend afternoon. There's plenty of room to sit inside and outside, and it's conveniently a 5 minutes walk to the station, so it's perfect as a last stop for the day. The day I went the kitchen wasn't open, but I'm not sure if that's something that happens often. Nevertheless, I was there to try some beers as I had heard great things about Two Way Brewery. There's a pretty good selection for all types of tastes. I decided to try the beer flight ($16) and chose the Confusion, Highland Haze (my personal favorite), Hesperides Cider, and Wanderer (left to right). It was nice to sit by the window, sip on some good beers, and wind down before going home. 10/10 would recommend as a stop before heading out of beacon for the day.

    This was place was super chill to hang out at! Came with with my boyfriend for a few hours on a Sunday afternoon, staff is chill and the music was great. We drank a few rounds, got food, and played some games in their game room. Lots of choices and lots of hand sanitizer to go around. I like the wood aesthetic they have going on too and it's a big space. This place is also dog friendly. The food and beer were both very good as well! Definitely want to come back here with friends. My only complaint would be there were a good amount of gnats flying around so we just covered our drinks so they wouldn't end up flying into them. Besides that, great experience!

    Brought my wife and friends here a little after the opened to enjoy a beautiful Saturday. Food: they really seemed to enjoy the beer and we were given popcorn which was probably the best I have had in a while. Aesthetic: deceivingly large with a cool games room which we didn't utilize. I like the flow of the place personally. Service: our bartender was super sweet and really cool.

    Cute, cozy little place. Good beer. Now with hot food. We've yet to have their food, but judging by the look and smell of the tables around us, it's really good! It's kind of an out of the way place. But, that also makes it a unique and cool hide out, away from the hustle and bustle of the main strip. That also makes parking a breeze. They have a large lot, as well as plentiful street parking. I've only been here 3 times so far, and haven't really had the time to stay and savor all their beers in sufficient quantities. But, so far, so good. Will definitely drop in again the next time we're in Beacon. Hopefully, next time I'll have more time to really stay and enjoy.

    Life appears to return to normalcy pre COVID-19 era with businesses opening indoors again, or is it a mere illusion of normalcy? I am grateful to gather and see good friends indoors again especially in a air conditioned roof environment. Beer breweries are not my ambitious interest but I like to visit and patronize local businesses. I always have a predilection for wine, champagne or cocktails, but I do enjoy a good cider occasionally. The Hesperides Hard Cider was rather strong at 7.0% ABV that I felt light headed within mid-way of my one pint $7.00 drink. I did tasted the Fuji and Empire apples. I am always enamored with Fuji apples. All drinks must be ordered and paid at the bar. There appeared only one bartender name Ciaran S., but was attentive fully engrossed in his job. Beer flights are available as well as IPA, Sour Ale, Session IPA, India Pale Lager for craft beer options. The glasses served appears of a small wine glass with stem. Growlers, crowlers are available for purchase to be specifically consumed off premises. The space is wide open and stainless steel beer tanks are exposed with artworks affixed to the walls. Sadly, I did not attain my free popcorn as hoped. Upon entering there is a strong putrid pungent odor in the atmosphere possibly from hops. I would like guided tours on site. This business is adjacent to the MTA Metro North Beacon station and within walking distance. Outdoor and indoor seating are abundantly available. Drink and food menus are, thankfully, distributed on paper rather than scanning a business's QR code and viewing it on one's smartphone. I always prefer paper menus.

    Nothing beats tasty flights, amazing free popcorn, & a cool view of the brewing process! :)  (Photo credit: Avery Branchfield)

    A Fan Since: November 2022 Looking for an amazing place to spend time, play games (board games, darts, pool, trivia, and more!), unwind, chat with friendly people, enjoy live music and events, savor incredible, locally-brewed craft beers and cider, and soak in a stunning view of the Hudson River? Search no further than Two Way Brewing Company! Located conveniently across from the Beacon Train Station, and just off of main street Beacon (tucked away in a nice, relaxing location), Two Way Brewing Company offers something fun for everyone! It quickly became one of my very favorite places in the Hudson Valley! I can further characterize this as my "home-away-from-home in Beacon!" :) This impressive establishment is comprised of two rooms that offer various interesting options for seating - such as relaxing in quiet nooks, soaking up the sun on the outdoor patio, lounging on couches and at stunning wooden tables (that were so artistically crafted!), and gathering at the beautiful bar area. Two Way Brewing Company derives its name from the "two way" Hudson River (which is technically an estuary that combines fresh and salty seawaters). It was initially called the "Muhheakantuck" (which translates to "river that flows both ways") by the Lenape tribe - who inhabited the lower Hudson River Valley. One aspect of Two Way Brewing Company that stands out to me the most is its incredible selection of rotating beverages - which are super refreshing, incredibly flavorful, and crafted to perfection (with fresh, locally grown ingredients and lots of care!) by the amazing and kind owners - the O'Herron Family! There are also plenty of non-alcoholic beverages available, as well as some wine options for those who don't prefer beer or cider - something for everyone! :) In regards to food, Two Way Brewing Company has its own kitchen that operates on some nights. When it's closed, patrons are permitted to bring their own outside food (which I really appreciate). Every night, they will serve up some of the best free popcorn you'll ever have! :) An additional aspect of Two Way Brewing Company that is noteworthy is how its versatility lends itself well to helping you enjoy your time there in various different ways. Specifically, it is a wonderful location to enjoy everything from a quiet, cozy, relaxing, and more solitary experience to a vibrant, energizing, and group-oriented one (and everything in between!). For example, there are times that I truly enjoy being there alone on an afternoon to cozy up in a corner with a book or to work on my laptop, and then there are other times (largely at night) where I go to enjoy more of an out-on-the-town vibe of playing games and trivia or watching concerts (that often feature/introduce me to amazing local talent!) and lectures (that are informative and generally pertain to teaching more about the Hudson Valley area!) with larger groups of friends. I have even seen people enjoy hosting private parties here! :) The owners and staff at Two Way Brewing Company are so kind, helpful, knowledgeable, and interesting to speak with. They truly treat every patron like family, and seek to help provide a positive experience for all. You can't go wrong with any of the brewery's incredible craft draft beverages. Additionally, I love how the options rotate on occasion, and sometimes with the changing seasons. While I am excited to try the other varieties of Two Way beverages in the future, I'd like to share with you now my very tried-and-true favorites: - Hesperides = my favorite hard cider EVER, ANYWHERE! :) - not too sweet, tart, or dry, and is very refreshing and delicious! PLUS, the apples for this are grown on the owners' family farm - which makes it that much more special and impressive! :D - 2 Way Wit = a wheat beer that reminds me of Blue Moon - but that is so unique and enjoyable in its own right! - Nitro = a stout - Irish dry that perfectly blends in flavors of coffee and has a really silky smooth, enjoyable texture - almost like Guinness! - Zen = a summer seasonal pilsner that is crisp and creamy - Confusion = a delicious light ale - Climb High = a really nice, well-rounded IPA One great way to enjoy Two Way Brewing Company beverages - especially if you've never tried them before - is to do a flight! :) Thank you very much to the amazing owners and staff of Two Way Brewing Company for providing such excellent care at your exciting, cozy, familial, friendly, wonderful, and important establishment! :) With appreciation, Avery B. :)

    We tried both craft breweries during our Beacon visit. We were here to watch the sun go down. 2 Way has a very laid back vibe and the bartender couldn't have been nicer. A few people noshing and playing their board games. Now the beer. Tried their flagship and their red ale. Both ok. Not hitting the artistic level of the other craft brewery in Beacon or in many other places. So my three score is based on a beer level I found here. Beer is ok. Drinkable. Not blowing us away as craft however. Still...this place was a relaxed place to chill for 40 minutes for us.

    Loved the rustic feel , very hip spot as well . My husband and I came here after hearing good reviews on this spot and just to check it out. Overall it wasn't a bad place . The food was overall good but kinda of pricey and the beer was up there in price as well . The beer was alright wasn't really my favorite. Definitely come here and check this spot out , loved the views as well .

    This place is off the beaten path but is cool and laid back. It wasn't packed at all on a Saturday afternoon which is shocking for a brewery. They have a good amount of beers and with two different flight options. The one way flight for $8 where you get 4 beers or a two way flight for $14 where you get 7 beers. In both flights you're choosing which beers you would like and they had one cider on tap while we were visiting. My boyfriend and I opted to get two of the one way flights because we wanted to each have our own beers.The percentage of the beers is not listed on the board at all and we were told that none were below 6% but when looking at their website that wasn't true. Air quotes was my favorite out of all the beers they had on tap. None of the beers were amazing though. They have shuffle board and lots of other games to entertain yourself with during your visit. The staff is nice and freshly popped popcorn is given to you upon request. We didn't have any big meals while here but we did order a basket of fries to snack on and those were good. They also do a A $5 pint of the week which is a cool idea

    Stopped by this brewery towards the end of Saturday night as most other spots were closed. Large taproom with both a space up front as well as in the back. Kitchen was closed for the night so ended up just having some brews. Decided on the "X1" ($6) - an IPA with a moderate amount of hop and a light finish. Liked the beer enough to get a 4-pack of the "Climb HighPA" to go - a remarkably smooth yet hoppy beer. Despite only one bartender we got our drinks quickly, as well as the check. This spot also has board games to boot if you can find all the pieces.

    Is there a food menu? Do they sell any type of food?

    Yes! They have great fries and a range of delicious food to go with the beer. If you are in Beacon you have to check it out!

    Can you recommend a good beer for someone like me who is a red one drinker? I just can't seem to find a beer I like.

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.
