About Aurora Brewing Company
Aurora Brewing Company is a brewery in Pittsford, in the hamlet of Bushnell's Basin. This is the company's Rochester taproom. The building is a restored old farmhouse right on the Erie Canal.
Aurora's original brewery is in King Ferry, on Cayuga Lake. The Pittsford taproom pours its freshly brewed beers. It also serves snacks, wine and cocktails.
The outdoor space is a big part of the draw. There is a covered deck patio with Adirondack chairs and a gas fire pit. Picnic tables sit under the trees on the canal waterfront, where beer is poured from a Tapshack on the water.
Live music is featured regularly. Private events can be booked too.
