Butternut Brewing – Morris, NY
http://www.butternutsbeerandale.com/ (Very cool website!)
Butternut is in the middle of nowhere – really out there. Its some sort of farm with a few buildings, work trucks, chairs, stone driveways and paths and wild chickens. You just have to experience it – Unique. Its hard to tell where to even go for a tasting, but luckily the girl came and found us and took us in. She was the daughter of the owners (who showed up right before we left – they are from NYC) and was very pleasant. they package in cans mainly, and you can only get a growler of the beers they have on tap – there were 3 to choose from when we were there. She explained that they are a good beer to try new things because nothing is to the extreme. in fact, we even liked the IPA! The names of the beers are great; PorkSlap, SnapperHead, etc – and the beers were actually pretty good for being a small place on a farm. If you go to Cooperstown or in that area, try and find it – its definitely worth saying you had the experience! Watch out for the fuzzy chicken, he really wants in the tasting room!
