MISSION and PHILOSOPHY

OUR MISSION: To preserve, protect, and promote New York State’s hop growing heritage and to cultivate an agro-economic community centered upon the production and appreciation of place-based craft beverages.

OUR PHILOSOPHY: “We believe that beers are best when they are brewed as close as possible to the land where the ingredients grow and reflect the character of the community in which they are brewed. It is this idea of “place-based brewing” that inspires every beer we brew.”
