About Upstate Brewing Company
Upstate Brewing Company is a brewery and taproom on Lake Road in Elmira. It has been pouring locally brewed beer since 2011. The company also runs a second taproom in Watkins Glen.
Food trucks are a big part of the visit. The taproom aims to have a truck onsite every day from spring to fall, and each day's truck is posted on its social media. On days without one, you can bring your own food or get delivery.
Kids and dogs are both welcome. Children should be supervised and dogs should be leashed and friendly. The taproom also pours New York wines and ciders, plus non-alcoholic drinks.
Wednesday evenings bring team trivia, and Tuesday is Taco Tuesday. The entrance and the parking lot are both wheelchair accessible.
