This is the first brewery you see when you come off of the Beacon train station and you're walking towards the town . While doing a brewery personal tour I made it my last right before getting on the train. You know the old cliché, the best for last while this was actually the best brewery in my opinion, and Beacon. The inside is very inviting and there is a scent that permeates in the air that is very relaxing and inviting . The decor is great. Employees, friendly. And the beer amazing . Two Wash Tooth Of The Lion hit the spot from the flights I tried, it was my full glass pour . Love everything about this place and look forward to going back, do venture to this brewery in Hudson Valley ! read more

Nice ambiance. Good food. Their special pretzel was really delicious. Great bartender nice options on tap

- great and free popcorn - no other food options - cheap flights - tasty beers on tap - packed on a Saturday night read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Two Way Brewing Company - L R: Confusion, Highlands Haze, Hesperides cider, Wanderer - Breweries Near Me - Beacon, New York

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! read more

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. read more

We've always wanted.to visit so today we made it Beacon day. Doesn't disappoint. I got a flight, which I highly recommended if you're not a beer conniesuer, im a wine-o but enjoy a good beer. After flight I chose the Confusion. Saiaon..light-ish and crisp, definitely a go to if you're not sure what u like in beer. I love a stout but rhe brown was a word in between of a brown happy ale and a creamy stout, so I chose the Confusion instead. Nice atmosphere, im sure I will be back read more

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. read more

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. :) read more

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. read more

I didn't try the beer selection but overall I liked that there's a lot of seating inside and outside on the patio out front. My boyfriend liked his sour beer. We got the wings which I HIGHLY recommend! So delicious. The bathrooms were not well-kept - such as flooding in the sink and no toilet paper in the women's restroom. However, I love the location of this brewery especially if you're taking the Metro North on the way home like we did. About a 5-6 minute walk to the train. read more

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. read more

This was a fun brewery to stop by before our train back to NYC. We got their flight of 4 beers for only $8. My favorite was their cider, which was on the drier side and not too sweet. 4 oz was just enough to cap off my night. They normally have board games but are off limits due to COVID. They do have a shuffleboard table that you can use. We took advantage of that while sipping our beers. They also have complimentary popcorn at the bar! The perfect snack to munch. They have limited seating indoors spaced out and more tables on the patio. Highly recommend checking out this place! read more

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 . read more

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 read more

Given that the tap ain't nothing crazy what made this place not likeable for me is the service. The girl at the counter looked like she doesn't like what she's doing. I mean, i understand if she's having a bad day but this is beyond rudeness. I know, i'm not in a 3 star hotel but you know kindness go along way. But i guess not here read more

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. read more

This is a simple brewery with a variety of beers and cider on tap, an extremely friendly staff, a great bar and a game room in back.

Really nice brewery very close to the town and train, perfect for a hangout. Has a patio and an indoors that is a decent size. Plenty of games and tables! It had bbq food that was pretty good. Brisket and Mac and cheese a must. Beans were eh. We both got flights - 8 bucks each for 4 samples. Bartender was informative and crowd was friendly! Would definitely come again. read more

Great outdoor seating. Delicious brews. Nice service. The only complaint is the food - the chicken burrito was rice heavy. So, 2 Ways Brewing Company, chill out on the rice, please! I loved sitting outside enjoying a few brews with my friends on a beautiful summer day. The bartender and chef were very nice as well. Oh, and there was plenty of outdoor seating and extra chairs on a Sunday afternoon - we didn't have to wait! I'll be returning here once the weather gets warm again. read more

Cute spot but not at all wowed by the beer or the deals. The 1- vs. 2-way flights were the same pricing for different amounts of beer, which was a bit of a bummer. Of the beers available on this given Sunday, I liked the brown (cask aged) and citra IPA, but I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to drink any again. Definitely a family-friendly spot, so that's nice. Just a little after opening hour, the spot was getting full, so you can tell locals and tourists like coming here. Lots of board games and over-sized Connect Four to play. There was some outdoor seating. Some indoor seating has a nice view of the Hudson River, as well. Art on the walls was really amateur, though I assume it rotates. read more

I was in town and decided to try a new brewery. Stopped by 2 Way and what a cutie!!!! This spot is intimate and has an awesome view of the behind the scene actions of their brews. Beers are incredibly affordable ($8 for a flight of 4) aand to make things better, THERES A SMOKED BBQ SPOT AROUND THE BACK!!! Order yourself a rack of ribs and brisket or smoked bbq wings while enjoying some yummy beers. Pro tip: definitely get a flight. Good price and you get a few options in. But also arrive on time and think about space. It is intimate setting and a few tables. Consider your party number and if you're going to eat. There's parking and it's open till midnight. JACKPOT! read more

Really nice place with some terrific beers. This was our first stop for our beer club Beacon craft beer pub crawl and it was an excellent place to start. I had two beers: Climb High PA which was smooth and very drinkable; and the Whole Hop which I absolutely loved. It had just a hint of sweetness that really balanced the flavor. Mike the brewer was very nice to our group and shared a lot of beer knowledge with us. If you're in Beacon, you should definitely make sure you stop here. Five stars! read more

Discovered this brewing company on the whim. The bartender was super helpful and recommended certain beers and they were all fantastic. there were probably two that just weren't my taste but they were definitely still flavorful. The inside is very rustic and there's plenty of seating. If it was nicer out I would've chose the patio. If you go with friends there is also plenty of board games to play if that is your forte. You can see all of the machinery that is used in the brewing process which is very cool. Overall great experience will definitely go again. read more

Stopped at M. Tap House but they were booked so they suggested 2 Way Brewing Company and we are happy they did! This is a great place to quench your thirst, have a bite to eat and enjoy the outdoor view of the Hudson and skyline. If you would rather stay inside, there is a plethora of games to choose from including a pool table in the back. Come hang with some friends and enjoy the great beer selection and some friendly gaming competition. We had 2 beer flights and they were all smooth and refreshing. They offer a nice selection so no matter your preference and tastes, you are bound to find some you like. The food was made by and outside BBQ vendor and was perfect for this venue. The brisket was tender and delicious and their coleslaw and fries were great!! Now more than ever, it is important to support local small businesses like this one. They add charm and character to our communities as well as offering a friendly face and happy place to hang. We have all been cooped up inside for too long so get out there and support 2 Way Brewing Company! You never know, it might just become your new favorite hang out! read more

Two Way Brewing Company - Have you seen a cuter flight? - Breweries Near Me - Beacon, New York

I passed this place last time I was in Beacon without time to stop by. This time I made this the centerpiece of my visit. 2 Way is on the smaller side, only 8 beers on tap, so this summer the darkest one I found was a red. Which was good, but I wasn't really interested in the rest. Location is a bit removed from downtown, but importantly still walking distance (in case you're not able to drive after your visit) from both that and the train station. There's a nicely stocked game room in the back and some outdoor space, but overall the vibe is small. The baristo was on his game, deftly filling orders as chunks of people came in and went back out, so we were never left wanting. The food menu was... food. The wings looked intriguing but when I asked about the heat level of the ghost/reaper wings, I got "well, they're hot to me but I can't really make them hotter" (from the chef himself), which isn't the same as "you won't be able to finish them" which is what I really wanted in that moment. So I left with just the beers and the impression that the food here is if you find yourself hungry, not a restaurant destination. Which, fine, this is a brewing company, not a restaurant. That plus limited selection are the star off. read more

great beer, great atmosphere, friendly and knowledgeable bartenders, and a cool vibe. great for groups, or, if you are a solid citizen, and like to make new friends....this is your jam. don't visit beacon, ny without stopping by this hidden gem. they've got you covered... oh, and the flipping awesome, authentic, and mind blowing food cooked to order by a bbq pit master from round up texas bbq 2 will make your day! read more

There are things i like and do not like about 2 way. I'll start with like.. 1. The space is open and interesting to look at. The holding tanks are exposed and theres cool art on the walls. 2. They added a really spacious game room in the back with pool, darts, foosball. On the way to the there you pass a shuffleboard table. 3. They have other options to drink besides beer, like local wines. 4. Free popcorn Things i dont like.. 1. When you walk in you are met with a very pungent food smell. Their menu is mainly bbq but since the kitchen is also exposed, the scent travels and its not terribly pleasant. 2. Im not sure how clean the area actually is. It doesnt feel very clean. 3. I cant say im over the moon for any of their beers. But that is a personal preference. Go and form your own opinion! read more

We stumbled upon this place while waiting around for the Storm King Shuttle. Just a 4 min walk from the Beacon train station, a awesome place to kill some time.

This is just a bar. They have no food available and there was only one bartender on staff. It honestly would've been 0 stars if I could. We weren't offered any popcorn either and we are all expected to bus our own tables. If I want to go to a bougie dive bar I'll find somewhere else to go. The bartender was nice, the beer tasted good, and it was really busy so if you want to go somewhere just to get drunk this might be the place for you. read more
