Wineries, Breweries & Distilleries (Part XIV)
“A lie never becomes the truth, wrong never becomes right, and evil never becomes good, just because it’s accepted by the majority.” -Unknown
This area of the country has tons of wineries, breweries and distilleries. So many…so little time. This year’s install is full of all kinds of new places and one of our favorites near Lewisburg I’ve never reported on before.
Rusty Rail Brewing Company is one of our favorite places to go for lunch. It’s located in Mifflinburg. We can ride our bikes along the Buffalo Valley Rail Trail to get there on pretty days. They have a great menu and beer selections. It’s housed in a historic 1911 industrial building.
Part of the Buffalo Valley Rail Trail.
Abandon Brewing Co. is located on the north end of Keuka Lake in Penn Yan. We visited it several times for lunch when we spent a week on the lake with the kids. They brewery is set in a beautifully restored 1800s barn overlooking the lake. The had a wide selection of house-made beer, cider, and root beer. The kids really enjoyed the root beer and the food was good.
It was a relaxing place to spend lunch.
Antler Run Distilling is also located near Pen Yan. The are a grain-to-glass farm distillery. Using 100%% New York State grain purchased locally in the Finger Lake region. We did a tasting. They produce whiskeys and ryes mainly and none were my favorite.
Union Cellars was the only new winery we made it to this year. It’s a boutique winery run by a husband and wife and is located about ten minutes from our home. We went there on Friday night to listen to a little music and enjoy the beautiful evening. We enjoyed our evening and will return.
