Irondequoit Beer Company is one of the many members we have on the Eat Local New York card. It was a pleasure to finally get out to visit the space and see just how great it is. 

Here's an excerpt from the Irondequoit Beer Company website: "Our story begins with an old hidden treasure within the Town of Irondequoit in Upstate NY.  A barn, where generations once farmed their land with grit and sweat, was sitting empty and unseen.  We wanted to continue that tradition of taking Nature\’s harvest and produce something that we could be proud of.  So we brought this little barn back to life and we are honored to give Irondequoit their first brewery".
