“Stop For a Sip” At These 15 Top Upstate N.Y. Craft Distilleries!

The time has come!

New craft distilleries are opening all over Upstate New York!  From the Adirondacks to the Catskills, and from the Hudson Valley to Western New York, these distilleries are open and inviting you to come and explore what they have to offer.  And what they offer are award-winning spirits, immaculate and gorgeous tasting rooms, and a display of family affection for this age old craft.

Over the last decade or so, beer drinkers in our region have slowly "turned the boat around' and found the enjoyment of a craft beer place.  Where many of us were happy  in the old days with a cold Genny or UC, we have finally joined the legion of fans of the heartier craft beer which are all over the place.

Now, it is time for the distilleries!  Each of the fifteen listed below gives you a bit of insight in the distiller's mission and background, as well as each being directly linked to their social media site for easy directions and planning.

Plus, you just have to love the names of some of these unique places.  Iron Smoke Distilling, Four Flights Distillery, Cooper's Daughter Distillery, and others.  Great stuff.

Please support the craft distillery community in our state.  Here are 15 of the best ones to start you off on your journey!
