About Paradox Brewery
Paradox Brewery is an independent brewery and taproom on US-9 in North Hudson, in the Adirondacks. The taproom was built in 2019, after seven years of brewing underground for locals. Wide decks look out over the Adirondack Mountains.
Founder Paul Mrocka started brewing while stationed in Germany as an army pilot. He shared his beer with friends around Paradox Lake, and people boated over for his lake beer. Today the brewery draws its water from 600 feet below Adirondack Park.
The taproom runs a rotating tap list with seasonal beers and guest taps. Recent pours include a Euro style pilsner, a helles, an amber lager, a New England style IPA and an imperial IPA. There is a non-alcoholic hop water too.
The kitchen serves pizza, wings and BBQ. Beer to go is available if you want to take a few home.

Before you visit Paradox
Seating is first come, first served. Pick a spot on the deck for the mountain views, or sit inside by the fire. Dogs are welcome outside.
The taproom is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. The kitchen closes before the taproom does, so plan dinner a little early. Check paradoxbrewery.com for the current tap list and the events calendar.
