Reinvention Brewing

Visited in the early evening on Black Friday with my brother-in-law. It's a fairly small and cozy indoor space with table, bench, and bar seating. It wasn't very busy and the two bartenders were very friendly and helpful. I got one flight (5x5 oz) and all of the beers were solid. The selection is varied but doesn't include anything high octane or barrel-aged (fine with me). Prices are average: $12 for a flight, $5-7 for full pours. I might return in the future, if the tap list looks interesting.

 

I'm back visiting family, and this place is just down the street from where I'm staying. Pretty typical small brewery setup; the 5bbl system is in the back corner, an L-shaped is along the same wall, with a few tables filling out the rest of the seating area. There's a pleasant little lawn area behind the building, with a nice wooden pavilion for some shelter.

On my first visit I had a good WCIPA, and an Imperial Pilsner that was bit thick in body, and a touch sweet, but was an enjoyable brew. It seems that a lot of folks come from nearby as everyone knew each other. Service was fun, sassy and competent. Food trucks are sometimes on location, and the bar has snacks.

Overall, a nice neighborhood spot, that's worth stopping at if you're in the area. And, it's located about a mile from exit 43 off of the NYS Thruway (I-90) if you need to stretch your legs while on a road trip.

Small road-standish building that looks like a country store. Rustic L-shaped bar seats about 15 with a half dozen tables around the perimeter and a few on the porch. Very much a locals hangout, everyone knows everyone. 10 beers and 2 ciders on tap, I had the Weathertop, and it was solid. Snacks but no real food. Very laid-back.
