pizza and wing combo deal (get the gold sauce!), beer, and bbq chicken finger panini

Great little bar. Stopped on the way to Letchworth state park. Good beer at a good price and reasonably priced food too. Service was great for a small place.

A friend of mine told me there's a random but awesome brewery down 20A with great beer and a cool rural atmosphere in someone's garage. Sounded a little sketchy at the time so I didn't make much of an effort to see this place. Sure enough I was driving with a car loaded to the brim with camping gear when we spotting a flag waving with the beautiful word "BEER" on it. It dawned on me that this was the brewery my buddy was talking about so I slammed on the brakes and pulled into the driveway. Camping trip was postponed an hour or two. I'll admit, it's a tiny bit strange. You're basically pulling onto someone's personal property. But none of it was confusing. There's ample parking and you know exactly where to go for the brew. The bartender was very nice and welcoming. There are dogs walking about all over the place. The property is stunning and has a great view of the windmills. There's an outdoor patio. Plenty of seating but space is limited. There were two small parties sharing a single table. I was shocked at how many beers were on tap. It was definitely more than a dozen. Lots of wine options as well. The Amber Ale and Mango IPA were two of the best beers I've ever had. I even took a growler of the mango with me on the camping trip which everyone enjoyed as much as I did. If you like beer, dogs, short road trips or a great view - this is a must visit.

I can't believe we haven't been to or heard of this place, which I learned today has been open since 2017. The beers were delicious, and we enjoyed the laid back atmosphere. We loved the Tiramisu stout and the Farmer's Juice IPA. We hung out in the back with our pup and had a wonderful, lazy afternoon. We will be back soon.

Stopped in to check this place out. Very nice and much larger than it appears on the outside. Lots of tables and several seats at the bar. We chose the bar and were greeted by a busy but friendly worker. She was happy to assist us in choosing the beers we wanted to try for our flights. I chose the winter ale, a regular IPA and a NEIPA, as well as a lager. The winter ale was great, hints of spices, regular IPA also very good and what you'd expect from an IPA. The NEIPA was much more subtle than expected, not hoppy at all. I didn't really care for the lager because it had a sour aftertaste. The food smelled and looked great, but we didn't order any this time. Lots of great beer and cider choices, and they change their menu regularly. They also had several choices of canned beverages to go. Will be back, hopefully when it's a little warmer as they have a nice outside patio that's dog friendly!

I noticed this place on the way to Hunter's Creek Park yesterday. My friend and I stopped here after our hike. We each ordered a flight of beer. They used plastic cups, instead of glass. I'm not sure if they always do that or if it's their current practice because of the pandemic. I ordered their Adjustable Turbine beer, their Lunation Belgian ale, their Bessy's Best milk stout, and their Muddy Russian Imperial Stout. I loved their two dark beers but the milk stout was my favorite. Because of Cuomo's rule, you have to order food, if you want to drink. They have an great-looking food menu. If you're not that hungry, you can purchase a small bag of chips, dried fruit, meat sticks, or some pretzels. They have pretzels that taste like a stout beer. That's what I purchased. They also have other kinds of craft beer pretzels. (Pilsner, beer cheese, and IPA.) The inside at the brewery is nicely done with great decor. My friend and I sat on their patio relaxing. They also had a large party tent up. Other patrons people were hanging out under there and seemed to be enjoying themselves. The employees were really nice here. I'd love to return soon.

Stopped in while out and about for NYS Maple weekend. The Maple Amber Ale was the perfect end to a themed weekend drive! Cozy,friendly and informed staff made our visit enjoyable. Plenty of taps to find just the right beer to suit your taste. The outdoor patio will be awesome to sit & sip when the weather finally breaks. We'll definitely stop again when passing through Wyoming county. Live Local!!

Come and drink.  Great stop off of 20... Worth every minute.

Blink and you miss this place just off of Route 20... But stop, have beer, grab as bag of chips and enjoy. Good small brewery with a constant stream of good beer choices on tap. They also keep a rotation of seasonal beers rolling so it is nearly impossible not to find as beer you will enjoy.

Windy Brew!

Windy Brew is all too fitting of a name for this rural brewery. The rustic atmosphere, friendly owners, and great tasting beer keeps us coming back for more. There's something for everyone as there is always a wise variety of beers. Windy Brew stays on top of the season and rotates their fruit beer and cider with the season. Highly recommend the, "PTSD IPA!"

Brand new and awesome! At first, thought it was someone's house, but the barn structure to the side is great space. Dog friendly, people friendly, and the coolest thing is that not only do they have their own beers but they also have multiple guest taps reserved for home brewers so they can showcase their beers.

This is such a nice business concept, and a clever reuse of a former gift shop enterprise. The food offerings are light fair, Panini's, pretzels, pizzas. We would definitely recommend Beer Justice!

A great stop for a yummy beer! I was finally able to make it to Beer Justice and I would definitely…read morego back! My husband and I wanted to enjoy the summer night, so we took a motorcycle ride down to the brewery on a Thursday night. When we arrived, they immediately scored points for having cool plants, and pretty lights. The ambiance is great. We ordered at the counter and our bartender (I suspect the owner) was friendly and helpful. He even had his pup, Toby, in the bar, which made me so happy (shout out to all the beerboss pups of the world)! The beers were very enjoyable. I will say that they use the terms "a hint of" loosely lol. I really liked the blond stout (which had a strong chocolate cherry flavor) and the cream ale! I tried the peach cream ale, and it was delish, but very peachy :) my husband had a hefe which he said was great but didn't taste very "hefe". For food, they had a small menu, and we ordered the chicken panini (7/10- just needed a little seasoning) and the cheeseburger pizza (11/10-yum). There was a good crowd playing song trivia on Thursday night, so it felt warm and inviting. We talked to a couple on the patio for a bit, but decided to stay inside due to the mosquitoes swarming. Definitely worth a visit!

Rating: 3.5 Stars I…read morestopped by here in a group of 3 on a late Saturday afternoon. Only two spots were filled and so we got our choice of where we wanted to sit. The bartender was the only person on the floor and she was very friendly. Her service was great and we enjoyed the pop punk collection she had playing the whole time we were dining in. We ordered some drinks and for food we shared a chicken club on sourdough and a Reuben. The food did take quite a long time to come out even though we were the only ones who ordered food at the time. The chicken itself was ok, a bit bland but had some good toppings and was well toasted. We had fries with this sandwich and it was very well fried and it came in a huge portion. The Reuben was ok, instead of the tangier russian dressing I'm used to this one was more straight mayo based so the flavors weren't what I was expecting. The marbled rye could have been buttered a little more when toasted as well. The amount of meat that it came with though was great and quite hefty. Both sandwiches also came with coleslaw and a pickle spear. The slaw was vinegar based and cut through the heaviness of the meat. I wish the pickle was more crispy though. All in all, a relaxed spot for lunch with good drink but ok food.

Stopped by soon after they opened and sat at the bar. While there wasn't someone at the bar when we…read morewalked in, when the bartender came out, he was really friendly and attentive. It was quiet and enjoyable. We ordered all 8 beers off the menu for the flight and some chips and guacamole which came out pretty quickly. The chips were warm and fresh and both the guacamole and the tomato salsa were good and flavorful. I thought I would have really enjoyed the peach radler and the cream ale, neither were as sweet as I thought they would be and not what I would consider a peach radler or a cream ale. I did really enjoy their premium lager and their red ale. I definitely enjoyed here more than the brewery itself, mainly cause the service was much better and the staff was friendly.

The brewery itself produces many beers and the kitchen has a great selection of food items as well as daily specials. The space is kid and family friendly where it is fully accessible (stroller friendly!). There are board games you can play and a small kids corner if your children want to play with a huge connect four as well. In terms of parking, there are lots of spots throughout the parking lot. In the summer there is also a small patio to enjoy your beers and food. Menu wise, the variety of dishes include classics like a burger and poutine as well as pasta and a vegetarian banh mi. There is also a small kids menu as well. Drinks menu wise, there is a large list of beers to choose from as well as a small list of wines, ciders, and non-alcoholic options. I had a party of 5 (4 adults and 1 baby) dine at Counterpart Brewery recently. Staff were accommodating where there was a high seat available for the baby. The space is spacious although in some areas it may be harder to fit a stroller through, but either way the space is very kid and family friendly (we saw many kids and families during our time there!). Service was great and the staff were friendly. The menu is accessed through a QR code via your phone which is at the table. My party ordered the following: - Fried chicken sandwich (b&b pickles, pickled jalapenos, cabbage slaw, and sriracha mayo) - $17 - Porchetta sandwich (slow roasted Italian pork, salsa verde, crispy crackling, arugula) - $17 - House cut fries (old bay, malt vinegar aioli) - $10 - Peach Chardonnay cider from Niagara Cider Company - $10 - Grilled jerk chicken plate (grilled pineapple, house cut fries, red cabbage slaw, cilantro) - $27 I tried the fried chicken sandwich and the porchetta sandwich. Both sandwiches were delicious! In terms of the fried chicken sandwich, the chicken (which was dark meat) was tender and juicy. The pickles and slaw complimented the chicken well where the sandwich didn't feel heavy. The overall sandwich wasn't spicy even though there were jalapenos and sriracha mayo. The porchetta sandwich was also great as well which was served on a ciabatta style bun. The pork was tasty and the salsa verde added so much flavour to the sandwich. The crispy crackling definitely added some textural contrast to each bite. Overall, a great place with delicious eats and friendly service! If you enjoy beer they have a great selection to choose from. The place is also very family friendly with lots of parking outside. A must try if you are in the Niagara Falls area!
