+1 for Dublin Corners. That's a little hidden gem near the Genesee Greenway Trails.

Edit: in fact, let me know if you and the wife are going to stop by there on Sunday. I might go walk the stretch from Cuylerville to Mt Morris, so Dublin Corners would be on my way back up to rt 20 from Cuylerville.

Won’t be there this Sunday.  Family stuff.  Next Sunday is in play though.

If you ever get down near Keuka Lake, Abandoned Brewing. During the week it is way less busy than the weekends but it is a small out of the way place. 

Very familiar with Abandon.  Its another favorite.

I tend to gravitate towards breweries based on crowd, rather than the beers themselves, although quality of the beer does determine the frequency of my return.  I go for the smaller, quieter places.  The more out of the way, the better.  The two I hit most often lately are Silver Lake Brewing and Dublin Corners Brewing.  Dublin Corners is in the middle of nowhere.  We usually go on Sunday afternoons.  I can usually count the number of patrons on the fingers on one hand on Sundays, and that's a pretty big motivator for me.  Especially now with COVID solidly in place.

If any of you ever find your way down to Chautauqua Lake, Big Inlet Brewing just outside of Mayville is making some damned nice beers.

Have you stopped at Birdhouse Brewing in Honeoye? Highly recommend them.  I'm also a fan of Seven STory in Bushnell's Basin.  Went back to K2 last week, used to be a fan but they've devolved into alcoholic fruit juice essentially.  Quite a few places going with that these days. Ugh.

Love Abandon.  I've known the head brewer since before he started brewing. Got laid off from his high tech job, decided to intern at CBs in HFL then went to brewing school, spent time in Germany, then some time at Ommegang (don't ask him about it.)  Birdhouse also uses them to brew some larger runs.

Good stuff.

Never been.  I’ll have to give them a try.

Just said the same thing to my lady friend. 

I asked her to put a frothy head on it.

Sat in the driveway with some neighbors who were moving to Colorado last night. Tried some Shiner Rudy Redbird, pleasantly surprised I l liked it. I'm not a big beer drinker anymore because I just turn into a pee machine but this wasn't bad.
