* Directions are usually the best effort we could come up with using Google from the hike (or near by) to the Brewpub.  If you are not sure about something, look at the web sites for the various hikes or Brewpubs.

If you can't find the exact hike we mention, or you're not up for the hike we list, that's ok! Just go for a walk of at least 1 mile. Then when you've worked up a good thirst, go and enjoy a great beer! One of the hikes is usually around 1-3 miles and more or less flat. The other hike is usually 3-8 miles and may have some altitude gain. Do whichever one you're more comfortable with. It also helps to call ahead to see if the Pub (and sometimes the park!) is open when you want to go there.

Thanks to Lew Bryson for his book New York Breweries. Our web page was originally based on his book's list of brew pubs. The NY beer scen has grown tremendously since then.

If you want to send us a few pictures of your hikes, or brewpubs you've visited, that would be great too!

If you discover a new Brewpub (a place that brews their own beer on premises and serves their own food) that we haven't listed yet, or you discover that one has gone out of business, or if you have any other questions,
