The editorial take
Southern Tier Brewery pours a 30-tap draft lineup across its own brews, Victory, Sixpoint, and Bold Rock, with a bartender-recommended raspberry beer that won over a customer. Cocktails and spirits come from sister distillery Southern Tier Distilling, and the wine list is described as diverse. Happy hour discounts drafts, wine, and liquor pours.
- What should I order?
- Ask the bartender for a surprise draft pick; one customer did and got a raspberry beer they called among the best in a long time. The 30-tap system also carries Southern Tier, Victory, Sixpoint, and Bold Rock, so the range supports exploring beyond the flagship lineup.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Craft beer drinkers will find the most to explore given the 30-tap rotation and the breweries represented. Cocktail fans can expect drinks built on spirits from the affiliated Southern Tier Distilling, and the full bar covers broader tastes.
