This Is More Than a Brewery
This is a working farm.
The grain in your glass is grown right here. The land around you is part of the process.
Every visit supports local agriculture, keeps farmland in production, and connects you back to where things come from.
It’s not just something to do—it’s something to be part of.

Scroll down for more answers to your frequently asked questions or call the taproom if your question isn’t answered below.
ARE YOU FAMILY FRIENDLY?
YES! We’re a family-friendly establishment, and children are always welcome. Because this is a working farm and brewery, please keep little ones under adult supervision at all times for their safety. While running is prohibited in the taproom, porch, and terrace, we do welcome “controlled chaos” in our upcoming play pen for children ages 6 and up—no dogs allowed in that area. Follow us for more updates!
DO YOU HAVE ONSITE PARKING?
Yes, ample parking and turnaround space, so join us even if you have something in tow. Please follow the signs and do not block turnarounds.
DO YOU HAVE OUTDOOR SPACE?
We wouldn’t coin #BrewsAndViews if we didn’t! There’s a mix of Adirondack chairs and farm tables to accommodate many guests. A covered porch, patio with sun sails, and wide open picnic tables in the sun – all available on a first-come basis. Take a walk through our fields and learn about our grain-to-glass farm brewery!
DO YOU HAVE NON-ALCOHOLIC OPTIONS?
Yes! We have a variety of house made seltzers, dye-free slushies, and rotating local non-alcoholic beverages.
ARE OTHER ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES AVAILABLE?
Yes, we carry a variety of wines and hard ciders, as well as a few select farm-batch cocktails made with Cooperstown Distillery whiskey and Springbrook Distillery vodka. Our menu is always fresh and changes seasonally, so check with our beer tenders. Pursuant to NY ABC laws, outside alcohol is prohibited and we reserve the right to collect outside alcoholic beverages if discovered.
ARE YOU HANDICAP ACCESSIBLE?
Our main taproom and porch are handicap accessible with door openings and restrooms that are ADA compliant. We regret that our yard and farm tours are not handicap accessible with rough terrain you typically find ON working farms.
DO YOU HAVE FOOD?
Check out our calendar on our events page for our rotating lineup of food trucks. We have freshly popped popcorn available for purchase but we don’t have an in-house kitchen. We allow you to bring food with you, but we don’t have wait service, so please pick up after yourself.
DO YOU HOST PRIVATE EVENTS?
YES! We offer private and semi private events, as well as table reservations for a deposit. Email Farrah@dancinggrain.com for events and call the taproom for reservations (518) 808.3432.
DO YOU ALLOW SMOKING ONSITE?
We are a smoke free facility and we strictly enforce no smoking on our farm. If you must smoke, please do so by your car and dispose of your trash – littering is bad for the environment, our farmland, and adds cost to our operation, please respect our smoking policy and enjoy nature at its best!
WHERE ELSE CAN WE FIND YOUR BEER?
We’re glad you asked! Due to the small batch sustainable nature of our operation, our beer is not widely distributed. You can find us at the Spa City Farmer’s Market on Sundays beginning in May as well as on draft at Cooperstown Distillery, The Local, and Henry St Taproom in Saratoga Springs, and South PAW in Glens Falls. Cheers to #GreatBeerGrownHere.
WHAT IF WE’RE INTERESTED IN CARRYING YOUR BEER?
We distribute our kegs and cans on a case-by-case basis, please reach out to info@dancinggrain.com for details.
