Freaking awesome people and great beer. Tried several but #8 is my favorite. Well worth the trip and look forward to our trip back.

Nice place, friendly beertender, good brews! Been there a few times, always worth a visit.

Delicious beers and extremely friendly staff! So glad we decided to pull off the highway and stop!

Obviously they have really great beer but they also have some really good food now!

Great beer and friendly service!

From MTL on our way to NY by the canal, we have this chance to enjoy awesomes beers! Cheers!

Very friendly people and great black IPA and good pilsner

Excellent front man in Brian. Wonderful stories about the beers and brewery. Well worth a stop.

Excellent beer, food and staff!!! Love to sit outside by water!

Relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, and great craft beer right on the waterfront. Can you really ask for more?

Love this place. Bartender was super nice. Love trying me brews

Good beers. Indoor and outdoor seating. Tasty food from the food truck.

Great beer, wine and cider selection Friendly operation

Friendly people, great beer and live entertainment too!

Fantastic microbrewery; comfortable and cozy interior with outdoor clear plastic (and heated) geo-domes ! What an interesting and unique space to savor a brew with a friend or two. The staff and locals are friendly people and the beers are wonderful.

Friendly beertenders with a great atmosphere!

First time going and great atmosphere & craft beer to meet up with friends. The red was phenomenal!

Good service, friendly atmosphere. We did try some beer that was out of our normal and was pleasantly pleased(jalapeños? so good) There will be another visit so we can try the others.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! Absolutely love this little gem. Please do yourself a favor and make sure you check it out!!! Great tasting beer, wonderful service, and an overall great positive environment!!

Good beer and service! Dog friendly inside and out. They no longer serve food, but allow outside food to be brought in if you like!

Great beers great service! Outstanding hospitality! Will be back for the jalapeño cream ale and cheese pairing! worth the drive just for that one!!

This place is very nice! Good beer, good wine and great friendly service.... Looking forward to going back again!

indoors. Quiet brewery with friendly bartenders. We ordered a flight with Artic Red Ale, Heelapeno Cream Ale, Honey Brown Ale and the Blood Orange Wheat. All the beers were very good but I loved the Heelapeno Cream Ale. It had a really great Jalapeño flavor and done really well. Would definitely recommend coming in for a beer or two and a relaxed environment!

Dream come true for me.....A dock at a Brewery!!!!! While transiting the Erie Canal I found this place described in an old copy of the Waterway Guide as being right next to the Frankfort Municipal Marina. I Googled and OMG from Satellite Imagery IC they have a dock. We found 10' at their dock and spent the night for free. After docking we went inside and it was their Bingo night and place was semi packed. So cool to talk to the locals, meet the owner/master brewer and his daughter. Some very interesting beers too and local wine for my wife. Mosarillo IPA was on par for a West Coast IPA and their Heelapeno Cream Ale was AMAZINGLY good. IDK where the cream comes in but I sensed more IPA meets Jalapeno and absolutely loved it. Support local breweries and business a like! We love visiting small towns/places like this and had an excellent visit. Would stop here again and All the Loopers on their boats should visit too.....

The nachos with pulled pork and tropical IPA was delicious. Nice and quiet view by the water. I really enjoyed this place and will definitely be back when I'm in this town again. Loved it. Recommend 10/10

Followed Stage Time Trivia to their 90's Trivia event at Heelpath and had a blast! I'd never been before, but the trivia night was wicked fun, all the beers I tried were good, the pizza provided was a nice touch, too. We sat outside near the water and it was a beautiful view and a nice night all around. I'd suggest anyone in the Utica area make the 12-15 minute drive to check this place out!

Fabulous pitstop on the canal! Great beer as well as indoor and outdoor seating. Every boater on the canal should stop in. Jess was awesome! What was intended to be a brief pitstop for a good beer turned in to an evening with great beer and people from down the road to across the country! Highly recommend!!

Great little microbrew on the water in Frankfort. Nice selection of draft beer with a nice rotation of drafts. They also have a selection of 1911 ciders and wines from Rustic Ridge Winery. They don't serve food but Fratellos Italian restaurant delivers Prices are reasonable and the staff are knowledge and courteous. Update........ They now also serve food. You simply text or call in your order. It's prepared in an adjacent building. They then deliver to the bar. The cost of food is added to the bar bill. The menu is simple, but the food is good.

Been back a few times...beers are good. Also have wine (and slushies). Service is great and have events like chili cook-offs(today), etc. Definitely a cool place to stop. Grabbed a few beers to cook with also. Already made a roast, now, onto a dessert!!

We enjoyed the brews, the atmosphere, and the service was great. Definitely worth the trip anytime of year.

Excellent. In case you didn't read that properly 𝙀𝙓𝘾𝙀𝙇𝙇𝙀𝙉𝙏 ! We had a flight the 2 IPA's were damn good. The kicker was a Blood Orange Wheat that was a rich full flavored treat ! Go here!

Nice atmosphere with a friendly and informative staff that makes you feel like a regular even if it’s your first visit. Selection of beer is wide but made with a drinkable low ABV. They now have food as well.

Good beer at a perfect location. The bar tender was very friendly and knowledgeable. I'd definitely recommend.

Best brews in the area. Try Cascade if you need a nice IPA. We are cycling and got two pints as it tastes so good. Would come again anytime.

Friendly beertenders with a great atmosphere!

It was a great idea to stop at this brewery! Beer is great and unique. Variety of flavours! Soooo friendly atmosphere we would stay here forever! The owner Jesse is amazing, so much fun to talk to him! Eventful schedule every week! Spacious parking lot! Come and have fun! You won’t regret it!!

Excellent little brewery, definitely worth a stop! Always different brews to try, and you can take some to go.

Really nice place! I've been there twice in the last week. Great selection of very drinkable beers and Rustic Ridge Wines. The owner is very personable and has great knowledge of the brews he makes. All that I tried were excellent beers! Beautiful job on the building and furnishings, plus right on the water! Paddle or boat up to the marina and enjoy a couple cold ones! Plenty of parking right out front. Can't wait for the Grand Opening! Oh yes! FREE M&M's and pretzels! Loved the Rye IPA!

Free dock out in front with 6 ft of depth. Over 12 feet of depth in channel on way in (June, 2022). Microbrewery and restaurant were both very good. Owners and bartender on duty were very friendly. Small town friendly atmosphere, reminded me of the old television show "Cheers" where they're always glad you came and everyone knows your name"

Great place to grab drinks with your friends. Staff are always friendly and welcoming. Large selection of craft beer, wine & cider.

This small brewery by the marina is a total gem! The beer was seriously delicious – clearly brewed with passion and expertise. What really made the experience, though, was the fantastic server. Super friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel right at home. If you're looking for a great beer in a cozy spot with awesome service, this is it!

If it weren’t by the Erie Canal you wouldn’t know it’s there. But the beer is good and honestly made, the camaraderie by the hostess and patrons feels authentic , and the setting is unique, beautiful and invites you to settle for a looong time. To top it all, the prices are reasonable. What a great value!!

The beer was all fine, but nothing which stood out as exceptional. The food on the other hand was all top notch. The drenched nachos stood out as something I would come back for. The service was great, bathrooms clean, and prices were surprisingly reasonable.

Food has declined since my family started to go there. No home made potatoes chips or fries when you order burger's like they used too. .10 cent bag of chips etc...... Its getting to the point of just staying at home and cooking ur self. Beer is good but here again who wants to pay 6$ for a beer? Not me. ✌🙏🇺🇸

Rode my bike today, 16 miles with plans to have a drink and snack, well, it was closed at 1:30. I give up!!
