Breweries
The craft brewery industry along South East Seneca has evolved into one of the most unique craft brew scenes in the country. These breweries are known for welcoming guests with open arms and full pints. All of them offer a sunset view of Seneca Lake and regular live music.
Wagner Valley Brewing
Wagner Valley Brewing Co. is the oldest brewery in South East Seneca, opened in 1997. Well before the craft brew scene was popular, Wagner knew that incorporating a brewery into their established wine business would create a destination. They have 12 draft lines rotating through light and dark beers ranging from bitter to sweet, and a huge space to gather while enjoying a view of their vineyards. The Ginny Lee Café and winery tasting room are just steps away for a great one-stop destination.
Lucky Hare Brewing
Lucky Hare opened in 2016 and has quickly become a favorite to visitors and locals alike. Their beers are some of the most popular craft brews available in the Finger Lakes, plus they offer a large yard to enjoy your beverages and food partner Babe's Burger is located right on site. They offer live music regularly -- including Open Mic nights and Friendsday on Wednesday -- along with bigger events in their barn throughout the season.
Scale House Brewery
Scale House Brewery, situated in South East Seneca, overlooks Seneca Lake and provides a fun-loving environment for enjoying a delicious beer. Music is offered multiple nights a week, all year long, with weekly Open Mic nights throughout the winter and spring. They are a full-service restaurant along with their brewery, with pizza and meatballs among fan favorites.
Two Goats Brewing
Two Goats Brewing is small but mighty. Renowned for an incredible panoramic view of Seneca Lake, they offer some of the best sunset views in the Finger Lakes. They embrace simplicity and sustainability --- everything, beer to food, is made in-house, locally sourced as much as possible, and is powered 75% by solar. Their traditional style beer is brewed on a manually operated 7-barrel system with a focus on quality over quantity. They host an abundance of live music year-round and offer a welcoming, easy-going atmosphere for all to enjoy.
Grist Iron Brewing
Grist Iron Brewing is known for its handcrafted brews and industrial go big attitude. Their brewery is full of entertainment and a destination point while traveling South East Seneca. Live music, rib night, and their seasonal events make Grist Iron Brewery a favorite for both visitors and locals. The atmosphere is welcoming and vibrant -- just like their popular Lake Life IPA and Campfire Lite Lager.
