Upstate Brewing Company

If there’s a sweet spot for micro-​brewery tasting rooms between too small and too large, this place hits it. Nice long bar allows for plenty of access in this microbrewery that makes excellent beer, has very friendly staff, and generally make me glad I stopped by.

pretty solid place, but I liked the beers at Horseheads Brewing better. They are in the process of expanding, which is a good idea because the main room doesn’t handle too many people without feeling crowded. The beer was good though and the woman working the taps was great, I kinda fell half in love with her! They have food vendors here on the weekends too. This was a nice little stop on an afternoon day trip

Awesome brewery, even more awesome is it is less than a half a kilometer from my house.

First and foremost, great beers. They always have a couple of new beers on tap and a staple of their favorites. What sets this place apart is the great service that I’ve had every time I’ve been there. As a home brewer I’m always looking to learn new tips and techniques and Upstate is always willing to let me know how they work their brews. I make it a point to come here EVERY time I’m back visiting my lovely hometown of Elmira, NY. A MUST stop!

You can’t beat the tasting + glass price. It’s pretty awesome and totally worth it.
I really enjoyed the Summer Haze, good light and summery beer, I’m not a huge beer person and I liked it. So much that I got a can of it to bring home with us. The atmosphere is great, I loved the chalkboard menu, so cute! The sign inside the bathroom is awesome, the Variety of Beer — I think it’s so awesome I will be buying my boyfriend one for his house. He loved the IPW and the IPA — said it was his favorite from the 3 places we had gone to visit during the day. He got a growler (he was disappointed they only had clear ones).
The owner is a cool guy, he is very down to earth and isn’t trying too hard to pretend he loves every beer, he’s a hops kind of guy haha. We will definitely be back to try other beers and pick more up, not too far from home. Clean place with seating and pretzel snacks! I suggest a visit.

Yum! I love Common Sense, and the prices are reasonable. I think they recently expanded their hours which is awesome, since Saturdays only made things a bit difficult. So glad they now have cans, and it’s great to be able to go to some local eateries and get a glass of Upstate Beer to enjoy with dinner.

Stopped in last weekend with a few friends and got to try a couple of tastings including Common Sense Ale, IPW and Summer Haze. I’ve had CSA before but first time trying the other two. I truly believe CSA is going to put Upstate Brewing Company on the map. I love that they have 4 packs and growlers for sale along with t shirts since their logo and packaging are awesome. I wish they were open more often but hopefully its in their future plans. Support local, support UBC!

Stopped in ⁷⁄₃ to give upstate a try. There IPW is very different. Has a very mellow taste with an bite at the end. The common ale I only sampled (should have got a Growler!) Was very different also and had a nice crisp finish to it. Would be a great ale to sit in the creek and drink. I see these guys going places. Hope to see an IPA next time I stop by.
