HUDSON VALLEY BREWERIES
Some of the CRAFTY places we visit.Cousins Ale Works

King’s Court Brewing Company
For decades we have travelled the land both here and abroad in search of mystical and mythical liquid treasures. Treasures as multi-dimensional as the backside of a common hill; much like a river eddy where you face upstream for a welcome break, and hide from the wind. Letting go, you barrel down in search of the thrill! And find yourself at the bottom of your knoll ready to ride again! It is in those spaces, the in-betweens, the ones often over-looked and least traveled where we have found our gems. And now we’re going to share them with you!
Glenmere Brewing Company
With a passion for craft beer and the infinite possibilities to create them, Glenmere Brewing Company evolved. We are proud to be a locally owned company operating with over fifteen years of brewing experience.

Clemson Brothers Brewery
At Clemson Bros. Brewery we live and breathe to perfect our passion for craft and our beer exemplifies that passion in every sip. As a dedicated team of craft brewers, we ignite that passion daily by reaching back through time to preserve the culture of our foundation, and we take pride in going to great lengths to artfully blend our love of rich history with our love for craft beer.
Back In 1890, established by way of a mature genealogy in industrial mechanics and metal smithing, as well as exhaustive laboring efforts made at the hands of a highly inventive father and son duo, William Clemson and George Nathan Clemson of Clemson Bros Inc. befittingly took root on Cottage Street and Railroad Avenue in Middletown, New York, following an uprise of economic enterprise during the quaint town’s early inception. Making way through a lineage of kindred Master Armorers, three generations of expertly skilled Metal Smiths, and soon becoming identified as the world’s pioneer of hack saw blades, Clemson Bros. crafts a historical timeline that captures the rise of a small towns economic advancement, while continuing to stand firmly as a transcendent manifestation of hometown innovation.
Blue Collar Brewery, Poughkeepsie
Our brewery and brewpub concept began to take shape many years back as homebrewers in the late 1980’s. Love of the brewing process, and the industry, continued through the years even as other life events and business ventures took center stage. A series of experiments back then, which allowed father and son to spend time together, have transformed to an all consuming venture which necessitates a lot of time together. The other transformation is that the greater knowledge of brewing now belongs to the son, who is a professional brewer with credentials from the University of California Davis.
In April of 2013, a decision to formalize our roughly outlined business plan and to pursue a suitable location was made. Our focus was to repurpose a factory building which had at one time been representative of American innovation and manufacturing might. Our search took us through three states, until in our backyard of Poughkeepsie, NY, we came upon the gem we had been looking for. A structure built like a fortress, dating back to somewhere around 1882, and over the years housing meat packing, paper and box storage, and even a garment factory. We had a vision for the interior of 40 Cottage Street, which selective demolition, restoration, rebuilding, and the skill of many trades, are making a reality.
We hope that you agree that we have created a “Blue Collar” atmosphere. This is meant to be a gathering place free of pretention, where American craft products can be enjoyed. In the company of friends, new and old, we hope to celebrate the heritage of Poughkeepsie as a manufacturing powerhouse in the Hudson Valley. We look forward to raising a beer with you as we salute 40 Cottage Street, its builders, past workers, and its return to the rank of manufacturing facility.
Please continue to visit this site as we update photos so you can share in the transformation. We will also follow with specific beer and food information as appropriate.
