We were looking for a safe and open place for a bite before we headed back to NYC after apple picking. Such an amazing place! The staff we met were all welcoming and helpful. The beer was fantastic. The food was right on point. If it wasn't 2 hours away, I'd hang out here regularly.

Wish we would have come here sooner! Loved the atmosphere - such friendly staff and by far the best pretzel I've ever gotten - and if it's on the menu - I ALWAYS order the pretzel. My lavender cocktail was also super yummy!

So we have been here a few times. And it was fine or even very good if you will. Today it was GREAT. I had a belgian dubbel that was.... a belgian beer brewed in highland. Outstanding job on the beer style. The fest beer was different...cant describe how... but was great. The wee heavy was a sturdy rendition of a rarely seen beer. Might just be me hitting my beer sweetspots..or the aleworks might have upped their already pretty good game. If you like beer ...the haw has gone from recommend to must go. Enjoy!

Very close to Walkway, and after all these years, finally went to HAW. Quaint bar with side room, long room and deck out front. Parking at back or in lot. As for beers, yeah diverse styles and thought the stout was a stand out. As for food, came out good, though I thought the chicken was a bit hammered. The fries were perfect. Recommend going

Great small spot! Tasty beers, nitro coconut vanilla stout was my favorite! I'm local so I will be back

My wife and I stopped here for the first time this past weekend. It's a really nice place and easy to find. We both had their tacos that were delicious and I will definitely be back to try the burgers because they looked amazing too. Both the drinks we had were very good as well. The staff Evan and Meghan were really great as well. They were both personable and passionate about their jobs and it really showed. Well done!

Lauren Castaldo

Awesome atmospere and leashed dog friendly on the outside deck. Loved the live music from trebled soul and the flavored seltzers. My boyfriend loved the beers as well. Friendly staff and patrons. Great time!

I moved I to the area recently and this place instantly became a weekly visit for me. It's such a cute location, and the staff is super friendly and great to chat with. They have a great selection of beers to choose from, and change up the list every so often. In addition, their food is absolutely amazing. Whether you just want nachos as an appetizer or a banh mi sandwich, there's a good variety to choose from and you can't go wrong with what you get. Good amount of indoor and outdoor seating. Definitely recommend if you're in the area. I always look forward to going each week!

A lovely way to spend a gray Sunday afternoon, brightened by incredible live music by Trebled Souls, with HAW's AMAZING pretzel and beer cheese + unique and delicious green tea IPA Neil's Garage! Friendly staff, comfortable vibe, great location.

I have had this brewery saved in my list for a while and finally checked it out yesterday. I love the ease of being able to sit where you please, the staff is super nice. Not only is the beer selection great but the food was amazing. Goat cheese burger with sweet potato fries, what else can you want by to wash it down with couple beers, thank you and keep up the great work. Btw they had a live jazz band, check out this spot its cool atmosphere and menu is perfect!

We're doing a brewery tour of the Hudson River area. This was our first stop of the day after walking across the river. What a perfect first stop. We did a sample of all the beers and they were great. My favorites were the Coconut Vanilla Stout and the Sapdafied Maple Strong. Next time we're in the area we'll stop by again.

Laura Woodburn

Delicious! All around a fantastic time! The beer was great and the food was even better. We played the arcade Pac-Man game (for free) and enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommend and we will be back!

Philip McEachin

This spot is fantastic! The service is awesome! The beers are phenomenal! If you love stouts, the Coconut Vanilla Stout is perfect. The flavors aren’t overpowering like some other coconut stouts I’ve had. If you love dubbels, the MonkHe See, the MonkHe Do won’t disappoint. You can’t go wrong with anything you pick. I’ll definitely be coming again

This place is the bomb. Go there for some causal eats and some serious beers.

Excellent micro brewery! They make my favorite Gose ever. Great takes on different kinds of food also.

Excellent beer! Delicious wings! Fabulous service! Highly recommend❤️🍺

A really great place in Highland: great beer, awesome staff, yummy snacks, close to the Walkway. Take a break from your walk/run/bike and grab a beer!

Good beer and food and very friendly staff. They are dog friendly. We will be back

Super friendly staff and super clean. Nice outdoor seating spot too for a quick tasty bite and drink.

Great beer and food. Megan was awesome with the large bachelorette party I was with

Wicked cool place. Outstanding wild Ales. Very chill vibe. All New York ingredients!!

Very nice people awesome beer Awsome food good quite place to relax on a Friday night

Every beer on tap was fantastic! The best. Can’t wait to go back!

Fun, laid back setting with good beers. A little pricy I thought. But still a five star experience.

Hands down best brewery in hudson valley great place fantastic beers awesome people

Great beer, great food, great bartenders, and great atmosphere. Can't get any better than this!

This place is great. Staff is super friendly and the beer is incredible!

Perfect place to spend a sunny Saturday afternoon with a outdoor patio or compete with your friends in the game room

Great little brewery with terrific pours and good eats.

Local craft brewery, varied selection of beer, great atmosphere.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and great beer!

Wonderful product made by great people, that care about their craft.

Great beer selection. Growler to go.

Great beer, great food, great atmosphere

Great beer and terrific patio

Amazing hospitality and space. Must visit!

Come and see for yourself. You won't be disappointed.

We had my husband's 40th birthday party here last Friday. Ray, Micki, and Megan were just incredible, along with the whole kitchen staff as well. They did an amazing job keeping our 35 guests happy. The food was wonderful. The open bar was great. Everyone had a blast with the games in the room as well! Ray made the planning for the event so easy. The day of the event I didn't have to worry about a thing. I absolutely recommend Hudson Ale for any event. Thank you for all of your hard work and everything you do!

Great beer with a great atmosphere. Staff are always polite and attentive. Food has always been good. I remember coming here for a soft opening before their initial opening and knew this brewery was going places. Keep making that great beer. Cheers!

We were here from out of town a couple of weeks ago and decided to give this place a try. We like to try local beers everywhere we go. This one's a little more off the beaten path than most breweries, but totally worth it. The beer is really good, the bartenders are super friendly and knowledgeable about the beer, and the dry rub wings were great.

Nice little brewery. Love the outdoor seating in the summer. Good, tasty beer. The food menu rounds it all off.

Calm cool space with an excellent deck out front, ample space in the side room, and some additional seating at the bar. Great IPAs, small sours (Check The Technique), and some maltier styles as well. Good sandwiches and other quick bites as well. Worth a visit.

We are from Southern PA and will stop again when we are up here again. Plenty of room for large groups and quiet enough for a date! Beer and cocktails were amazing. Food was delicious 🤤

Stopped in late last Saturday and I gotta say my wife and I really enjoyed ourselves! Meagan was very pleasant and efficient. Had a good knowledge of the beers you serve.You guys should definitely open up during the week! We look forward to returning!

Absolutely Amazing. The atmosphere is friendly and inviting. Very informative about their beer selection and food. The beer is delicious and different. THE FOOD IS RIDICULOUS. Best pretzel and beer cheese on this planet. Definitely will be a regular here from now on.

Had an absolutely fantastic lunch at Hudson Ale Works. Staff was incredibly friendly and followed Covid protocols. Beautiful outdoor dining area. Shout out to owner Adam who served us and gave me a great beer recommendation (try the Radge!). Would definitely recommend the fried chicken and mac and cheese.

Just had the 1st dark beer I ever liked. The sour is yummy for sure. Everyone I tried was on point tasty with clean flavors. Comfortable setting with super friendly staff. Great place to grab an interesting drink.

We had a great time here! We were able to bring our dogs and have a great low-key brewery experience. Everyone was so friendly and the drinks (including gluten free) were fantastic. We'll be back!!

Great beer selection with rotation so there's always something new to try! Food is great with weekly specials and a cool industrial atmosphere. Staff is friendly, I've always had a great experience here!

Nice variety of beers... I did enjoy them all. The grilled cheese and pulled pork nachos were awesome! Cute place with friendly staff. Will definitely be back!

Really nice micro brewery, loved the Monkey See, Monkey Do brew, one of my faves. I have to go back now that they have more food options. Great staff, very friendly and attentive.

Honestly, the beer is okay. As a master brewer myself and bees aficionado, the two things that make this place is the food and ambiance. I met the chef actually. Not your typical bar food. I come back just for the eats.

Last stop on a beer tour. Staff was great, different varieties of beers to try. Nice big room with games and a TV to hang out and enjoy your time.

Stopped by as a family with our kids - they were very welcoming, informative, and surprised us with ice cream! The beer we had was superb...Awesome people, awesome place, awesome beer!

Great beer selection with a knowledgeable staff...gave us great suggestions based on our taste. Delicious food...I had the mushroom Swiss burger--excellent.

They know brews. They don't hop up the double or the saison. The food menu is a little limited but the food they have is great. And the staff is very welcoming. Love it!

We love testing the sour beers and Getting slights to experience the different flavors also enjoy bringing friends so that they can enjoy also. They also have games which makes it fun.

Nice outdoor deck and lots of space inside. Food and beer selection is really good. Highly recommend this place … close to railtrail and bridge

Great place to meet up with locals or meet new people to our town. Josh, Adam & Neil are true crafty Crafters. Sit outside, play corn hole or just hang at the bar, cozy place to relax with friends....

Great beer (loved the raspberry vanilla stout and hazy IPA), yummy pub food, friendly service. Highly recommend!

I was really impressed with this place. Friendly staff, delicious food, and every beer I tried in my flight was solid. Worth making a trip across the river for!

The beer here is not only in variety, but excellent. And their bar food is spot on and the staff are very friendly. I LOVE this place.

Great stop after walking the bridge over the Hudson. Most of us got the Pilsner uniquely hazy

We visited Hudson Ale Works last night and had a fantastic experience! We ordered a flight of beer.. HOPS TO THE FACE and MONK HE SEE, MONK HE DO were our favorites! The food was amazing. We got the chili cheese nachos, onion rings, and giant pretzel. Words cannot even express how great the food was. Staff was warm and welcoming, and very attentive. It was a memorable experience and we will be making frequent trips back to Hudson Ale Works.

Good burgers and good beer! The sweet potato fries were cooked nicely too.

Proud to call Hudson Ale Works our local! Excellent beer, great food, wonderful people.

Love this place! I don’t get to visit as often as I like, but it’s is a joy and a treat every time I get to visit. Hudson Ale works has a wide selection of beer styles, which is great for my group of friends as some of us are into sours, some into IPAs, and some of us in to the dark and malty flavors. I feel like their menu has a little something for Everyone! Any time you visit you should at least try the “check the technique” even if sours aren’t your thing. Food wise, the burgers are GREAT! Love the wings, and the nachos. I’m also really fond of their wedge salad. The staff are great! We’ve visited often enough that Meg has started to feel like family. Love this place and hope to visit again soon!

Such a great spot for drinks! Cheap beer flights and unique brews. The grilled cheese was also fantastic!

What a great place. Dog friendly and very hospitable.

We come here regularly and love the hosts Ray, Micki, Meghan and Evan! It’s our favorite neighborhood spot and the combo of burger + beer is fantastic here. I highly recommend the light IPA Hazy Boi, the lavender gin cocktail and I can NEVER resist the perfectly seasoned fries 😋😋😋

Kind of topped here on a whim after hiking in the Catskills. Tried Millhouse brewing first it was a little too uppity. Honestly the food here was amazing, has a game room and is just a really nice vibe. Nice little gem.

Sampled a few beers, had a few hazy bois. Really clean industrial, modern brewery feel. Small menu but everything was really good and well executed. The beers vary depending on what you like. They let you try em before you buy em. Staff was very nice and attentive. Worth the stop! Highly recommend.

As a party of 4 we dined here on Friday November 28. We ordered 3 different burgers, two different styles of wings, pickle chips and a side of fries. The burgers were amazing. The wings and fries were great and the pickle chips were fantastic. The beer selection is good and not overwhelming. The staff is accommodating and friendly. The place was not crowded and is low key. You can find a quiet corner or go to the back game room which has picnic style seating and is more lively. The prices are very reasonable. I’m sorry I didn’t take any photos to post along with this review. I highly recommend dining here. We will go back for sure.

Came here with a very large group (at least 20 people). Everyone had great things to say about the food and drinks. I had the Caesar salad, which was very good. I expected a creamy Caesar dressing, but it was more of a clear dressing, but still good! I also had a cream soda, which was great. The service is fast and the staff are friendly. The outside patio area is really nice. Parking is limited, but since we were there later in the day, we parked across the street in the bank parking lot. Overall, a lovely experience. 10/10 recommend.

A local brew pub with about 8 taps. Had a nice Hazy Boi Mango NEIPA which was excellent! Six seat bar and side room. Food looks good. Wish we could have done some food!

Visited on a Saturday afternoon in mid-May. It’s an OK brewery taproom. Pretty good range of beers, a mix of old school and modern styles. Average pricing - $10 for a flight of four beers is what I had. Friendly and attentive service. The quality of the beers is fairly average. I tried a couple lagers, a session IPA and a stout. Each one was just about drinkable but I wouldn’t rush back to any of them.

Quality microbrewery in the Hudson River valley. Definitely put it on your list of check ins if you're checking the craft beer scene in the area. Favorites include the coconut vanilla stout and helles lager.

Me and my best friend always pass by this place and decided to give it a try on June 5th. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. They have an online menu which you can access via QR code on the table. It is bar service. The waitresses were friendly. Since I don't drink I tried out the soda. I got the Root Beer Not sure how I feel about it since it tasted like soda water with a hint of root beer. It wasn't till I hit to the bottom I got to the root beer syrup. Ah well, happens. May try it again. The short rib house Tacos were amazing. At 3.50 each they were awesome. The prices are more than fair. My best friend got the Blueberry Lavender Hard Cider and he says it's incredible. Can't wait to come back

Friendly staff, food and beverage selection and great atmosphere with area to play unique games. Wish it stayed open later for the fun to last longer.

Nice place I like the Swilsner, a few choices for food. Sit in at the bar or at a table also seating outside

Friendly spot with a creative variety of ales. Today they were serving a sour featuring blueberries

Good selection of beer. Food could use some improvement.

Nice space, good beer, and friendly staff!

Nice little brewery with decent food. Good selection of beers including some more interesting brews that I haven't seen around before (sour IPA). We ordered the nachos which were decent, but not great. Some liquid from one of the ingredients had drained to the bottom of the tray and made some chips soggy.

A nice range of beers done well. Both indoor and outdoor seating are plentiful and comfortable. The food menu is very limited but based on working with the kitchen space they have, and more extensive than most breweries offer (which tends to be only packaged snacks). Parking is a major issue here. There is only space for four vehicles. Presumably, patrons should use the bank across the street, which will be closed a majority of the time that the brewery is open, but do so at your own risk.

Been driving & walking by for years, but finally stopped in today for a flight of very easy-drinking but flavorful & distinct beer. I recommend the lager, session, double IPA, & black IPA.

The beers are above average...the black rye IPA, Hopped Saison and Double IPA were standouts. The space is low-key. The staff is gracious

Patio outside. Welcoming. Pretty large inside with a back room that has a garage door to overlook cars and pedestrians. Barmaids are friendly. Free samples. Flights offered. Hip music. Can see vats. Has industrial vibe w chill decor.

The staff were nice and the beer was good but I would not go back for food. The burger I got was severely over cooked, the bacon was burnt and the onion rings were soggy. The fries were overly seasoned with salt and black pepper. The Tuscan melt’s chicken was rubbery and not seasoned at all.

Thought the service could have been much more attentive. Even after the crowd died down we had to go get our own refills for drinks at the bar. And we had to leave but they never came out with a check. Now that I think of it they never checked on how the food was or if we needed anything and they had a hard time getting our order right and out at the same time. Burgers were very good. Special was a noodle bowl and just average.

IPAs were bad unfortunately, bail of hay flavor in all of them, goose nut much better, Octoberfest was the best we tried, food and vegetarian food options get the stars

Waited 30 min to be told our appetizer would be out in another 30 min. If you have two hours to kill waiting for your food maybe the two staff members can grab you a beer. No parking either
