My first thought here was, "What, they stopped doing flights? No way, -1 Star immediately." But after a few minutes here, it became, "No way I could do that, the beer, the ambiance, it's just way too good to do that!" Wolf Hollow does it right. They have the beers (16 on tap tonight), the events, the food trucks, the atmosphere. Everything here is exactly what I look for in a brewery. My only disappointment is that they discontinued flights, but they're always willing to let you sample brews, and for me, that's a great alternative and a great opportunity to try their brews. They do so much, including special events, trivia, etc.. Well done, Wolf Hollow! read more

My husband and I have been going to Wolf Hollow since the beginning, when they started in a Grange Hall. It's amazing the expansion they have made. Wolf Hollow has always had solidly good beers. I have probably tried every single one they've made. My favorite mainstay they have is Nun the Wiser. It's just a solid light lager. My favorite beer is their El Lobo Loco (which is a summer beer). My husband favorite seasonal is their Oktoberfest. This trip we had the Blackberry Pie and my husband got the Katie's Irish red. The blackberry pie is a mild sour. They do have a few non-beer items including some ciders and some local wines. They also have some non-alcoholic beers available to purchase. Wolf Hollow has a wonderful atmosphere. They are family and dog friendly (outside only for dogs). They have a nice cozy tap room. Outside they have a pavilion, picnic areas, and a great patio. There are also sandboxes for kids. During the winter you can sit next to a fire pit and even snowshoe on the property. For food they do rotating food trucks. Some of their regular food trucks include Two for the Road and Burger 21. All of the staff is very friendly, and very knowledgeable on beer. read more

With lots of seating indoors and outs, this spot is one to check out any time of year, but if you ask my friend group, Wolf Hollow is one of the very best places for warm weather beer drinking in the area. With tables on the patio and under a large covered pavilion and lots of fire-pit and yard seating, you'll find space to spread out or huddle up with your group. Dogs are also welcome onsite! The staff at Wolf Hollow is friendly and knowledgeable, known to recommend a taste for anyone unsure of their next order. I also love that Wolf Hollow is part of the Safer Bars program, assuring that their entire staff is trained to "recognize unwanted sexual attention or outright sexual aggression among customers, and offers strategies to intervene, divert and defuse situation." I often bring out of town visitors to Wolf Hollow to enjoy a pint with either a bit of exploration on the grounds (which includes walking paths and nature watching around the pond) or games - either the yard games set-up outdoors or board games offered indoors. Wolf Hollow currently offers beer, cider, wine, and soda, along with snacks and merch available for purchase. Of course, To Go beer purchases are also welcome. The food trucks differ depending on when you visit, which brings a nice variety in foods and strong support of the local community. Keep an eye on their event calendar and social media feeds - there always seems to be something fun going on at Wolf Hollow ranging from live music to yoga practices, holiday activities, community fundraisers, and so much more. (We love to visit for Trivia night, which happens every other Thursday and is hosted by Nat through the That Trivia Guy events!) read more

Awesome brewery in the Albany area with TONS of outdoor space and activities! We loved their beer selection and the food trucks they have on site. I tried "mulba sauce" for the first time with my mozz sticks, which if you're from the area, you know what this is - essentially it's a berry dipping sauce that's typically paried with mozzarella sticks. Incredible!!! This is a great spot to spend a few hours playing board games, drinking beer, play some corn hole or just hang with friends! Super dog friendly as well, inside & out! read more

Got to check out Wolf Hollow Brewing on one of those randomly warm February days. Tried a few beers from pilsners, sours, ipas, and a golden ale. The brewery does not do flights but they do give half pours and/or will provide small samples before you select your beer. The beer was pretty good, but I wish there was a wider selection. There was live music when we went and it was very pleasant- a perfect way to spend your Saturday. -Plenty of parking and indoor/outdoor seating. Outdoor seating has some fire pits and heaters. -food truck vendor right outside the brewery. -Board games! Including Seinfeld trivia! -dog friendly, at least outdoors read more

Perfect Sunday drive to this little out of the way but close enough craft brewery. Right on the outskirts of Schenectady, easy to get to right off I90, they have a huge outside set up to social distance and enjoy your cold ones and food. They don't serve food but had a food truck on site (maybe they do serve food but today there was a food truck). We opted for indoor seating given everyone was outside, and the place is super charming. I ordered a flight of several different brews to go with my burger and fries. Lots of space to feel safe and enjoy the feel of wilderness right there off the highway. Friendly folks to serve your selections. Be sure to make this a place to stop. Support your local breweries! There's a Pokémon stop right there too! read more

Stopped here to do a flight after skiing at Maple Ski Ridge a few miles away. I liked the setting and the motif of the tasting room. They had an impressive selection of beers and I enjoyed every one I tried. Can't wait to go back! read more

Came here as part of the Schenectady Ale Trail, where you get a flight at five different breweries for $40. Good selection of beers, though pretty small pours. Lots of seating indoors and outdoors, plus live music. Enjoyed the selection of games they had that you could play. Different food truck every day so you can get something to eat! read more

Really great atmosphere! They have a rotating draft list and food trucks. Beers are hit or miss depending on taste. They had a great array of sours on tap, and a few local wines of beer isn't your thing. read more

This place is truly putting out some good beers. I came to grab a flight on a Friday after work. The place was busy but not very packed. There was a lot of men here, just something I noticed. I was the only female there for the duration of my visit - just slightly odd. The place was cute, inviting, and I would have stayed for more beers if I wasn't 30 mins from home. The building is a large metal building (no cell service inside, wifi info was on the menu) with wooden tables and stools, and you have a good view to the brew tanks. There is a very nice outdoor patio as well, it was a very hot day and all the shady spots were taken so I sat inside. Each beer I sampled was great. I had the bartender just give me a hoppy sampler. I loved them all and I want to go back and have another flight of everything else. They also sell cans, so I grabbed a 4 pack on my way out, the District 12, it was great! They do not have food, but this day they had a food truck outside available to customers. I skipped it, but I was kinda bummed the BBQ was not open on this day. I will be back soon as it is halfway between work and home. It is a great little local brewery and it is definitely worth your visit. I hope the BBQ is available next time! read more

Leaving a review to communicate that the patio is not all seasons as the brewery's website suggests and despite there being plenty of heaters on property. They were all out of propane. We stopped with our dogs and couldn't stay. Bummed but oh well! read more

Best beer and outdoor space in Capital District. Bring your kids, your dog, your grandmother - no one will be disappointed. Only food is with a food truck, but it's good and fairly priced. No TV, so don't go to watch a game, but that adds to the great vibe of the place. read more

Amazing beer and fantastic people. Let me try several beers before committing to a delicious collaboration with Mad Jack brewing. They do offer BBQ; I didn't try it but it smelled phenomenal. Can't wait to go back! read more

Not my favorite. The beers in my opinion aren't great and they are a bit overpriced. They don't have table service and you can't run a tab and pay at the end. I do however love their outside areas and that they have food trucks coming and going. The place is always packed too so others must like what they're doing! read more

Good beers, rotating food trucks, family events.... Can you ask for more? We love hitting up Wolf hollow on a weekend. Tasty brews and always good food selections, the ambience is also rustic and laid back. read more

Forgot to close out my credit card last night. I left tips in the jar at the bar but that didn't stop them from adding 20% tip when I called to close it this morning. The guy had a bit of an "attitude" as well. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth read more

Wolf Hollow is only 10-15 minutes from Schenectady, but it has taken me an embarrassingly long time to finally visit this brewery. We came on a Sunday evening after a show at Proctors (for the CCBT passport stamp) and I have to say, I've been really missing out. There is plenty of seating inside and plenty of wonderful beer on tap. Samples are $2 (flight of 5 for $10) and I tried the Wolf Hollow Amber, Fall Tree Oktoberfest, Pulpit Supply Brown Ale, Year One Black Lager Schwarzbier, and Campout Stout. It's fall, so generally flights are making me a lot happier right now, but I genuinely enjoyed every single thing I tried and would have happily ordered a pint of any of these (which is most often not the case). There's plenty of parking and lots of seating inside; service is fast and friendly. There's a sign on the door asking you to NOT bring in outside food or drink; there wasn't any BBQ the other reviews mention, but there was a food truck there that day. I'm glad I finally made the trip out to Wolf Hollow and will absolutely be back. read more

This is such a charming little brewery. It's unfortunate that we've only visited a few times with it being so close to our home. We will have to visit more regularly in the New Year. My husband and I shared a flight, which will cost you 12 bucks. My favorite from the flight was the New England IPA, while my hubby liked the Cold Weather Lager and District 6. We each had a pint (8 bucks) with our lunch from the Two For the Road food truck. We ordered a Cuban panini, and chicken tender basket for our kiddos. Our kids enjoyed playing the board games that were available, and the Shirley Temples. The service was very quick, which was great because the brewery was starting to get busy. On the board, it lists the schedule of rotating food trucks, and special events which include paint nights, bands, trivia, and more. The outdoor patio is really nice, and includes heat lamps. It would be great to visit in nice weather. read more

Found this place on Groupon! Wanted a place that was local that we could go and hang out at. They have a good indoor space and a decent amount of outdoor seating. I wish their website says they are dog friendly (outside of course) so I could have brought my pup. There is a side door entrance to the patio outside. It was a nice day out to enjoy some beers. Faves would be: Nun the wiser Brunettes revenge If you are in the NY/Albany area I would definitely say check this place out. There is also a bbq place attached to it, but we didn't eat anything. read more

This place is not near anything and is on a dangerous road in a sketchy part of the Capital Region. You can't get here without a car or a bike. So, it would make sense to have SOMETHING for people who aren't drinking -- one of the dozens of N/A beers out there? A mocktail? A kombucha? Nope. I got snarked at and pointed to a Diet Coke. No thanks. I'll go to one of the many other places offering safe, healthy options for the DDs. read more

Great beer, and the bbq stand in the place has tasty treats. I snacked on a bbq pork slider, topped with cole slaw it was tasty and felt like a steal at $3.50. Let's get back to the beer - little craft beer places are popping up everywhere. And they're all cute and charming in their own way, but not many can claim to have delicious tasty beers across the board. We sampled 10 different 4 oz pours of most of their beers available, and each one was delicious. If you're in the area - this is definitely a great place to stop by and support what they're doing and enjoy the great atmosphere, and the beer! read more

A good friend of mine took me here which I had no idea existed in the area! Most breweries of this kind are usually quite a distance from where I live. This one is in a very rural area which is probably why I never heard of them but while I didn't have a beer that day (I just had water but my friend had a beer or two), he said it was excellent and the outdoor seating was quite spacious and inviting. He and I will be going back again soon and this time I will enjoy a brew or two! read more

So my wife and I looked for a brewery while visiting our son playing for the Mohawks. I like to triage our options by distance and Yelp rating. This place was very well reviewed and close. Jackpot. We had a flight each and the beer was very good. We selected a favorite from the flight and enjoyed a couple small pours of each. We saw nachos coming out of the kitchen that looked good, so I checked the menu. The pretzel bites seemed right up our alley so ordered them. The chef hit these hard with cheese, honey mustard, bacon and green onion. Let me tell you, we are closer to 50 than 40 and these bites may have been the best app I've had in any bar in my life. Sweet, tangy, savory, yes, yes, and yes! I will be back. For the beer. And the food. Limited menu but the chef is doing the four or five options right. Very friendly bartenders as well. read more

5 stars all day! Stopped here on a whim after wandering Plotter Kill Reserve. The bartender gave me multiple samples after I said that I don't love beer Every sample was great! She was amazing. I chose the Whites Wit. Fantastic. My BF loved his IPA. Sat by a wood stove. Every table was full. Everyone was so pleasant. 5 stars plus!!! read more

Cool brewery, great tasting room and patio - ample space to spread out and enjoy a flight. Great for large groups. I didn't love the beer, but as a disclaimer, I'm not generally a beer drinking. I heard they had a tiramisu stout (or porter?) on tap but I had just missed it apparently. Bummer! Located somewhat in the middle of nowhere (it was a good 35 minute drive for me from Albany) but I would return. read more

It's review time you beer hounds! Let's start with an important fact...I.like.beer. I especially like lower volume higher quality beers! This place....I love!! Why you ask ? The whole package! The facility is clean,spacious and bright. They have a great outdoor space. Plenty of parking. BBQ on sight that is very good! What else? Oh yeah,beer sweet glorious beer! I'm sure even the pickiest of beer snob can find an in-house craft brewed beer to suit their pretentious palette! The brew master here is an artist,period. read more

This is a welcome addition to the craft breweries that seem to be everywhere nowadays (and I am certainly not complaining about the ubiquity of the establishments!). The tasting room is modern rustic and I am sure you could picture it in your head already. That's okay! That look is very pleasing and well-suited for the environment. There's a mix of high/low tables, which I enjoy. The beer itself was good and prices were reasonable. I went with my baby, husband, and friends (with their baby) and had a really nice hour. I didn't feel out of place with my kid and noticed another couple with their young infant. I am looking forward to checking it out again and sampling more of their beers. read more

I want to start out by saying I am not a beer drinker. We knew this place was here but never stopped in. We had friends in from out of town and they wanted to give it a try. It was pouring rain that night and the driveway is a little muddy when it is wet. They had a food tent right out side the entrance door. Lydia's empanadas was the food selection that night.. 6 stars to Lydia. Omg those empanadas were the best I have ever eaten. So fresh and the filling.... yummy!! She had 4 different kinds to choose from and we ordered 2 of each, just for the 2 of us. We had never been here before as I said. We walked in and it is a large open room with long tables. Some high stools and some chairs, and no air conditioning. There was going to be 8 of us. Luckily there was a large table right by the door. We walked up to the bar area. The girl that was working at the bar was very pleasant and helpful. Explained the selections and how it was done. They had hard cider too. I choose the peach cider. It was ok. Not my favorite drink. Everyone else liked the beer. I do need to say all of the gentlemen working here were not nice. Almost annoyed to be there and god forbid if you had a question or needed napkins because you spilled something. This was my perception anyway. We would not go back here just the 2 of us. To me everything including the seating was uncomfortable. read more

Great upstate brewery bar with excellent live entertainment. Place also looked as if it had decent bar food too but we had already eaten so didn't try any. I only had one issue and that is that there were no wine options for those of us who do not drink beer. This bar/brewery is located in a not so populated area of Upstate NY close to Amsterdam, NY and it'd be cool If there were just a few non-beer options since nothing else is around it. Other than the above seemed like a nice local h g out. read more

We went here for live music and it was great! Beer is delicious and atmosphere is nice. I will update if we ever try their food!

Great cozy atmosphere, every beer I've tried is fresh & delicious and they have great food (rotating guests) - what more could you want in a local brewery? The staff is always friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend this place - anytime I have people from out of town visiting, this is one of the first places I bring them. read more

Ive been here numerous times with family, Im not a fan of the beer, most of the food is slathered in this barbecue sauce im not a fan of, the nachos are okay, you cant get their wings in hot sauce which is disappointing, the wraps are usually out, they lack in the food department. read more

Beer was good! Unfortunately the food was awful. Possibly the worst food I've ever had. I don't want to be mean but it was bad

Always manage to make this a stop when brewery hopping the area. The outside area has a good amount of shade to enjoy the day, very cool decor including the Jack Daniels barrel tables. Always good choice to get a flight here but be careful of spillage as the mini mason jars spill over easily onto the sample trays. Lots of brews to choose from if you're indecisive! read more

If I could give WHBC more than 5 stars I would. This is the type of place a community can get behind and be proud to be affiliated with. The visionaries behind WHBC have created a truly incredible atmosphere in their small brewery, and are producing some truly fantastic beers. There aren't TV's, so be prepared to have conversations with new people! So come for the ambiance, have a unique and tasty beer on their patio, and introduce yourself to the staff and owners. You'll be happy you did. read more
