Drinks & Nightlife

We are a small "Farm to Glass" craft brewery located at 1 Main Street, Greenwich, NY committed to using New York ingredients to create our tasty beers. Tucked away in what used to be a railroad station is this great tap room. All that is served here is beer, and it’s done so in a nice location. The historic building has been restored and updated, so it’s a good venue for small musical acts to perform. There’s also an outdoor covered patio section where you can sit with your brew. A local food truck is parked nearby, so you can wander over to get grub. You can’t take your beer off the patio, but you’re welcome to consume the food truck goodies on the patio.

Soft, shadowy foothills dotted with traditional white farmhouses; weathered red barns tilted haphazardly on broad patchwork sweeps of green and hay-gold fields; small clusters of black and white cows grazing placidly in the distance…it's all part of Moses Country. And, the 200 year-old farmhouse, where Will Moses has his studio, is as solidly traditional as the surrounding landscape…the white house where the legendary Grandma Moses began her career. Born and raised here, in Eagle Bridge, New York, Will Moses creates paintings that reflect the quiet beauty of this tiny community nestled close to the Vermont border.
