the person doing the bar service is horrible. To obtain a pitcher of beer and two plastic cups took over 10 minutes
Next, person asked for two small drinks and that took about 5 minutes.

I am speaking to the person right now and the person seems to be off a bit. Maybe not feeling up to the task

I have loved Good Nature beer from the first taste. The downtown tasting room is a little small though. Now with this new facility, I am in heaven. It is a bit pricey but I don't ever mind paying for quality, and that is what this place offers.

I really enjoyed the space here, the dining room is very open, clean, and all of the wood accents/tables are aesthetically pleasing. The outside space has quite a bit of seating in a spacious wooded area. We sat at the bar inside and savored the grilled clams as an appetizer which were excellent. I ordered the blended burger which was hands down the most amazing veggie burger I've ever tried, topped with vegan cashew "mayo", score! You have this recipe on lock! My husband really enjoyed his grass fed burger as well. He is a brewer too and noticed something off in the beer's yeast. I thought they were all great so apparently my undefined palate could not identify the taste. Annie was my favorite. The bartenders were a little too preoccupied and more entertained talking to each other, but it was one of their birthdays. Overall I thought this place was pretty fantastic and will definitely return!

There was plenty of spaced outdoor seating. Atmosphere was nice and the apple cranberry sangria was delicious. It was not very busy so ordering their hand cut fries and pretzels should not have taken as long as they did. My husband was almost done with his beer flight. When it did arrive the pretzel was luke warm and the fries were actually cold, no warmth at all. They went straight to a takeout container since we didn't want to wait for a new order. Very disappointing & we not be returning.

Food was great and I was pleasantly surprised by the number of gluten free options (including the fries!). My only disappointment was coming back on Sunday to find that they have a different, brunch style, menu all day (which my family told me was delicious, just limited from a GF perspective).

Food and drink were great, but the service at the bar was very disappointing. The bartenders (one guy and one girl) were standoffish and seemed like this was the last place they d want to be. Everything else was great, but the initial greeting at the bar was enough to put a damper on the whole night.

Fun and clean atmosphere! Solid choice of local and regional brews. Diverse menu of classic bar foods: appetizers, pizzas, burgers, etc. Staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, as we were first-time visitors from out of town. Would highly recommend!

We had a $50 gift card from almost a year ago so we decided to drive about a hour 1 way to the brewery
for dinner. Service was good, american brown ale was great, food was a serious let down. It speaks volume that I'm actually taking the time to leave a review. Ordered a BBQ brisket sandwich while she ordered a burger and fries. The sandwich was absolutely tiny with a tiny side salad. Her burger wasn't bad, fries definitely sat for a while. Generally a letdown other than it being a beautiful night. Great beer, nice environment there... But even if I had another gift card I wouldn't of wasted my time for dinner.

Don't think I'll be returning to this place. Service sucked. The bartenders acted as if I was bothering them. The food was way over priced and not that good. Plus we all left hungry. Not to mention the beer wasn't even cold. I recommend driving to Empire Brewery in Cazenovia.

We got there saw it was busy and were ok with it. There were no directions on what to do until you got up to the register to order. The cashier was extremely rude and unhelpful. There were others that ordered after us. All seating was outside even though it was chilly.
There was only one very tiny window for drink orders in a different location. The bar attendant was also taking phone orders on top of trying to keep up with the ever growing line. Then the bathroom entrance was on the opposite side.
As we watched order after order come out of the kitchen wondering where our food was; we were also watching them shuffle things back into the kitchen. For the size of the drinks they were over priced.
After waiting a full 2 hours our food was the last to come out of the kitchen. Which means for whatever reason ours got pushed to the end. Not sure why since we ordered 3 very simple items.
I must say after the built up waiting and anticipation we were sadly underwhelmed. Our pizza was cold, the beer cheese was almost solid again, and the soup was the worst I've tasted.
If we ever decide to go back they'll really need to step up their game. As of right now it is a regret that we went and stayed after waiting so long.

I had visited Good Nature's tasting room on Broad Street and I was anxious to see the new farm brewery further down the road by the Colgate campus...the building is beautiful esthetically and the grounds have a nice outside seating area with adequate parking...
Once you enter the building you see a wide open floor plan with the brewing system on your right...a bar straight ahead...plenty of seating and a food window/kitchen on the left back wall...
When they made the move to this new facility a new larger brewing system was installed to allow for growth and their recipes were redeveloped for the new brewhouse...
The food selection was limited but quite tasty...you can order from the bar or the window in the back and you pick up your food at the table in front of the window...the burger I had was good...the fries fresh and crispy...they also offer pizza...soups...wood fired pizza and they started a supper club which I have not attended...
The beers were a mix of older brews from the past and new recipes...I was pleasantly surprised at how the original beers tasted on the new system...the nose was more pronounced and the flavors were brighter...on my second trip there the beer selection was mostly happier beers in in the IPA family and while I enjoy beers from across the spectrum my companion tends to shy away from them...many of these new farm breweries seem to emphasize hop forward characteristics in their recipes..it is like a competition and while they are popular my opinion is they are overdone...pints...flights and growlers are all available...
The staff was a mix of college age students when I was there each time...I am not a big fan of making at the bar without a conversation and the attention I received was to fill a glass and not much more...attempting to engage one of the "bartenders" in conversation fell flat for the most part on trip one...trip two while a lack of malt forward beer selection was frustrating we did get to meet co-owner Carrie who more than made up for the brew selection by being engaging...passionate about their establishment...she was warm...upbeat and shared the story of how things moved over the years...she gets five stars for the way she treated two strangers like family...I look forward to Carrie imparting her passion for the business on her staff to get them more engaged with "friends they had yet to meet"...
Overall a great space...tasty and eclectic food...good brews...worth a trip to Hamilton to check out what they are doing...I will be back again...

One of the best breweries in Upstate hands down. Amazing space, friendly people, great food. Can't go wrong anytime of the week to sit and relax on their patio or in the beautifully designed tasting room. Can't wait to try brunch on Sunday. Cheers!

This one of my absolutely favorite brewery! I love that there mission and actions put local first. It's great that that they host a bike group every Thursday in the Spring to Fall. It's the highlight of my week. Make sure to try the RBQ Brew!

I went to their brewery a few years ago, and was mad impressed. The malt used to make the beer tastes really fresh, and no malt astringency. I buy their beer whenever I see it (sadly, not often).

Upon first walking in here, I was greeted by the biggest hair-gelled douche bag who acted like he hated his life and was as rude as ever. He was unfortunately the one who I had to place my order with. He also asked for my credit card before I even placed my order? I had hoped that the food would at least be decent considering the high prices and horrible service. My margarita pizza was 85% sauce on soggy dough with like two circles of mozzarella and a few burnt scraps of "fresh basil." My boyfriend's burger was bland, had one micropic inch of sauce, one pickle, and a completely stale bun that was as hard as a rock. He said it was actually the worst burger he ever had and that McDonald's made a better burger. Unfortunately his was $14. Rude staff, high prices, and horrible food. Would not recommend. I guess their beer is probably good based on the good reviews?

Spent a wonderful Friday here with another couple recently. Plenty of libations for the adults and space to run around for the kids and the animals (although my wife would have a hard time distinguishing me from the kids/animals).

Definitely not the same without the bar room open. Drinking beer from a plastic cup takes you back to Kill A Keg from college. Some people had beer in a glass, do you have to ask? Basket of fries for $12 was way overpriced for the amount. I would have preferred an overpriced bag of pretzels.

This was not a good experience. There are no signs to help a first time visitor navigate this brewery. Just getting a beer flight was confusing. I suggest a stack of flight choice order forms be provided on the bar. That at least would give a visitor a clue. Food is also a mystery. It was not clear where to order food. I would suggest some basic snacks items like popcorn, peanuts, and chips be available. While we were there, NO food was available. Personally I like to snack on something while I am tasting beers. We probably will not return to this brewery. Somebody there just doesn't get it!

Beer was very good. Food was good. They had a glitch with computer and we didn't get our food for about 45 minutes. However, they made it right when they realized the error. I would recommend.

I was very impressed with the fish dinner they offered. The fish was cooed to absolute perfection! The portions were the biggest I have ever seen, with my group 3 people ordered fish and all of them looked amazing!
