"This was my first trip to the Yonkers Brewery, and it was an incredible experience! The atmosphere was low key and casual, and upon entering I was greeted by kind bartenders and servers. The happy hour(s) menu was fantastic — I tried the lemon pepper wings and was elated at the savory wings and the tart seasoning. Since it was TacoTuesday, I had to oblige. I recommend sampling ALL the tacos; the fish tacos were delicious.
Now, you’re here for beers, and Yonkers Brewery does not disappoint. Imagine this: you’re reading the menu and the brewmaster sit downs next to you and orders his favorite, “The Wedding Beer.” It’s his creation, curated for his own wedding. He’s in conversation with the bartender and I eavesdrop. They’re talking shop about temperatures and time, and managing all the ingredients and how to shape the taste of each beer. I’m intrigued by this, and after listening, quickly ordered the Wedding Beer. It was exquisite, and having just learned how it was crafted, the taste is even more satisfying, almost as if I were there at the wedding. This is the kind of atmosphere that you want when you sit down on a random Tuesday at a brewery.
Everything on tap was a treat and truly representative of the local history. The 7 Hills IPA was perhaps my favorite, though the Lake to Main was a close second. Really, you can’t go wrong. Explore your taste palette and trust that the beers are all going to be unique experiences. I didn’t know what to expect when stepped into this brewery, but the people were friendly, and the beers and food prefect. I absolutely will return for my next round!"
