About Indian Ladder Farms Cidery and Brewery
Indian Ladder Farms Cidery and Brewery is a farm brewery on Altamont Road in Altamont. Its website says it makes beer and hard cider with farm-grown ingredients, including hops from its own hop yard and apples from the apple trees around it.
Its website says owner Dietrich Gehring planted his first 100 hop plants after a 2009 hop growers conference. New York passed the Farm Brewery Law in 2013, and he teamed up with his friend Stuart Morris. The brewery opened in 2016, in a tiny tasting room off the porch of the farm store.
It has since moved into the lower level of the farm store. The Biergarten adds a pavilion, a sound stage and fire pits. Sitting there, you look out on the hop yard and the apple trees.
