Below is a map of every place where brewing happens in New York State (yes, we even included Anheuser-Busch’s brewery in Baldwinsville, near Syracuse). A RED spot indicates a brewery that’s open to the public – with a taproom or a restaurant or another place where you can buy a pint or bottle or fill a growler. A YELLOW spot indicates a brewery that’s licensed but closed to the public. Many of these are small farm breweries that sell at farmer’s markets; others are just not quite ready to fire up the brewhouse or open their taproom. An ORANGE spot indicates a brewery with a pending license, meaning they’re most likely going to happen, but just haven’t finished construction yet.
