In the Hudson Valley part 2

On the other end of main street from the train station is Hudson Valley Brewery. As you are driving away from the train station, take the last right turn, go down a little hill and there you are. It is near the water treatment plant and the waterfall. You can hear the waterfall when you are standing in the parking lot. The water treatment, well you know that if you have lived in Beacon. It looks like and probably is a warehouse. Outside there is a patio seating area, when I came people were sitting there with their dogs. I don’t remember any being inside.

It’s always nice to see a clearly marked sign for the facilities. If I was to give a name to the decor it would be “Micro Brewery Classic”, the tanks are visible and the wooden kegs are stacked nicely. There is one size glass, if you order a small pour they fill the glass half-way. I like that, very conservation minded. A rather small crowd of what appeared to be locals. I had the “Feel No Way” (Pilsner with Sterling and Hallertau Blanc) and “Magnolia” (Sour). Since I haven’t learned all the buzz words for judging beer I will just say, FNW got 3.75 stars on Untappd and Magnolia got 4 stars. This is not surprising as I have always preferred sours over pilsners. Since I had to walk to the train station I didn’t stay long. The brewery seems to have a nice group of regular patrons and while the building is large, the tap room area is not. Most of the space inside is taken up with tanks and brewing apparatus and the taproom is rather spartan, but not unpleasantly so.
