About Climbing Bines Hop Farm & Brewery
Climbing Bines Hop Farm & Brewery is a brewery and hop farm on Hansen Point Road in Penn Yan, New York. Its website calls it New York State's premier farm-to-barrel brewery. The beer is brewed with estate-grown hops and local barley, the site says.

The taproom opened in 2013, in a renovated farm shed that belonged to Chris Hansen's grandfather. You can order a tasting, a pint, a 32 oz. grenade or a growler. The website also mentions views of Seneca Lake, a walk through the hop yard and a game of Corn Hole.
