Your New A-Z Guide for the Hudson Valley Brewery Scene

What better way to spend an afternoon than tasting some of New York's finest beers with some friends?

The brewery scene has only been growing around New York State. According to the New York State Brewers Association (NYSBA), there are over 440 licensed breweries in New York State alone.

Economic Impact of New York State's Brewery Boom

There's a huge economic benefit to this brewery boom too. The brewing industry has created over 20,000 full-time jobs for New Yorkers.

In terms of a dollar amount, the NYSBA  estimates that $3.4 Billion is generated each year as a result of New York's breweries.

Luckily for us, a huge portion of New York State's breweries lie within the Hudson Valley.
