At Southern Tier Brewery in Lakewood, NY, there is not one, but two taprooms. The Empty Pint houses out-of-this-world dishes and house-smoked meats, while the Callander overlooks the gorgeous Steinecker brewhouse. Adjacent to all of this is an indoor/outdoor seasonal patio, warm-weather performance stage and stones course. Just up the lane is a 45,000-sq-ft warehouse and logistics facility and, of course, the distillery. All of this landscape of liquid love sits on naturally wooded campus that includes several acres of wetland preserve for our resident waterfowl.
