Regardless of the brewery's size and offerings, one thing is for sure- Now is a great time for a beer across New York. Many of the nation's highest-rated breweries are so small that the only way to sample their beer is to visit them in person. Others distribute their products around the country, or even across the globe. Many of those are located right here in New York.

New York State has become a hotspot for breweries and microbreweries. We currently have over 500 breweries operating as of 2023. This ranks New York among the top states for craft beer production in America. New York's brewing industry generates over $5 billion annually in economic impact, employing thousands of people across the state. The state’s Farm Brewery License, introduced in 2012, further incentivized the use of locally-sourced ingredients, leading to a surge in breweries that emphasize homegrown New York hops and barley.
