The editorial take

Artisanal Brew Works runs a serious house-brewed beer program with eight draft styles, a flexible 4oz pour size, and to-go 4-packs. The cocktail list covers mules, martinis, and creative espresso variations. Galway Rock wines and a full mocktail menu round out the bar. This is a brewery taproom that also takes mixed drinks seriously, with something for every pace.

What should I order?
Start with the beer: order the Daily Double IPA or Trappist At the Track as a 4oz pour for $3 to sample the range. For a cocktail, the ABW Espresso Martini at $13 layers Kru Cold Brew and Springbrook Cowboy Coffee into a vodka base.
Who will enjoy this place?
Craft beer drinkers will find the widest range, from a 4% light lager to a 10.5% Belgian quadrupel. Cocktail fans get a full list of mules and espresso martinis, and the mocktail menu gives non-drinkers creative options alongside NA beers.
What should I expect to spend?
Draft beer runs $3 for a 4oz taste and $7-$9 for a full pour. Cocktails and mocktails are $10-$13, wine glasses $9-$10, and wine bottles $24. Beer to go costs $13-$19 per 4-pack.
What makes the beverage program distinctive?
House-brewed beer is the draw, with styles ranging from ALL, a 4% American light lager, to Whole Lotta Trouble, a 10.5% Belgian quadrupel. The $3 4oz pours encourage style exploration, and award-winning beers at NYS CBC and TAP NY back the lineup.
