Our last stop on Day 2 of the Finger Lakes Brewery Tour was at Abandon Brewing. When you roll up, you just see a massive red barn-like building. Lots of parking and even though the place closed in an hour it seemed like a lot of cars.
Once you enter you see some big brew tanks and an empty room..keep walking and you enter the taproom which has a U shaped bar, a few picnic tables and that's about it. One bartender on a Thursday and the place was swamped.
They offer samplers of 4 beers for $10...except their sampler holders hold 6 beers? May want to rethink that and make it 6 beers. But we got stuck behind a girl ordering what felt like 20 samplers. The bartender kept apologizing for the wait so I couldn't get too upset. After about 15-20 minutes of waiting we got our beers and went outside to the patio where they have two giant round picnic tables overlooking a great view.
The beers weren't bad. Nothing to write home about. The Farmhouse IPA was good...one of the better IPAs of the trip. The porter would have been my close second choice here.
All in all it was a nice place, but needs more tables, better service and compared to the other breweries we went to around them it was a little pricey. Worth checking out though if you're in the area...
