Warhorse Brewery in Geneva, NY

Whoa! Warhorse Brewery has expanded from a small clapboard building to a massive space in their former storage building. Decked out in military memorabilia with a Quonset hut feel, this brewery has come a long way.

They had five beers on tap so we ordered a sampler with 5 -5oz pours for $10.
Also on tap were a Bombshell Raspberry Hard Cider and a Bombshell Red Apple Hard Cider. For those who like light beer or white wine, they offer  a riesling ale called Peace Bomber. They also brewed  a Lt. Dan IPA. My favorite beer was A Night in Geneva Oatmeal Stout and Tim again chose Royal Kilt Scotch Ale as the beer to enjoy. This is my second time at this brewery and I enjoy their beer and the friendliness of their staff.

Speaking of staff, this brewery has lots of Woman Power. Our barkeep, Kim Ashburn has worked at Warhorse for about 3 years. Kim brings an army of exuberance and fun to the bar. She left home at 18 to indulge her desire for adventure. She traveled down the east coast to Daytona, then out to Las Vegas for 10 years where she worked as a casino host.  She has now come home and is a perfect fit for this up and coming brewery.

Kim really likes dark malty beers. She drinks their oatmeal stout and scotch ale, but not at work.

Where the old brewery was, they installed a new restaurant. Currently they offer pizza but one of the owners is a woman and a vegan so the new menu should feature meat and vegetarian options. A little something for all. I am a wee bit disappointed of the only choices on a menu being salad and french fries for this vegetarian. I look forward to trying some of their fare next year. And yes, there will be yummy food for carnivores as well.
 
Warhorse is spacious with a long bar and several tables. We found a small family who stopped in with their twins, Elizabeth and Charlotte.

They also offer Root Beer for those who desire something delicious but non-alcoholic.


They have a beautifully stocked gift shop in the brewery with tee shirts, hats, gadgets and beer as well as another one in a building close by. This property is also host to  an interesting array of  creatively decorated and noteworthy wineries so check it out!
