This week we decided to take the drive to fellow NY brewery Ithaca. Being a giant fan for years of Flower Power, I was very excited to check them out. The building is newer and expanded greatly. From what I was told there used to just be a small tasting room, but this is just the opposite. It is tucked very far back, plenty of parking, a giant bar, tables inside and plenty outside.
-They have plenty of merch from t-shirts to glasses, they also have a giant section where you can buy your favorite Ithaca beers in cases or six packs.
-As for the beer we did all three flights they have listed. Apricot Wheat was the favorite of the lady...it has a great smell and you taste the apricot for sure, the Nut Brown was decent, Cascazilla was good as usual, Pale Ale was very nice..hoppy and light (we got two growlers of that to go), Flower Power just as good as I expected, Partly Sunny wasn't bad, and I lost my list but we had a couple others including an Imperial Stout they just put on. All the beers were good, only 1 or 2 were just decent.
-We ordered a pizza in which some of the toppings are fresh and picked right from their own garden. It was delicious and I would highly recommend it.
-Lots of space although we got there right around opening and by the time we left it was getting crowded. I highly recommend making the drive if you can, the workers were really knowledgeable and really nice, the ambiance and scenery is just worth the trip I've never been anywhere like it. It's going into my top 5 favorite breweries I think. Check them out...ithacabeer.com/
