Made in NY

Chautauqua County has seen a rise in farm breweries and distilleries which means a minimum of 75% of product ingredients must come from New York State agricultural products such as grains, honey, fruit, maple syrup and more. Breweries often release small batch brews featuring seasonal flavors during the harvest seasons throughout the year. During summer, visitors can enjoy beers with notes of fruit such as berries, stone fruits and citrus while in fall and winter, local breweries lean into the heavier beers and incorporate notes of warm spices and maple syrup.
