While the Woodstock Brewing taproom embodies a welcoming ambiance for guests to sit and chat for hours, you can always purchase a few cans to enjoy at our Upstate New York resort.
Keegan Ales

Stop in for a delicious IPA, ale, or stout—preferably on a day that aligns with a food truck visit. If you’re too busy having fun, but you still want to try a draft, stop in, and purchase a six-pack of the brew that speaks to you.
Union Grove Distillery
Have a seat at the copper-topped bar and enjoy the award-winning Vly Creek Vodka or try Catskill Mountain Maple Spirit, made using locally produced Tree Juice Maple Syrup. This versatile distillery also features whiskey and gin. Take a tour and get to know owners Brian Mulder and Todd Pascarella, who completed their own renovation work in the tasting room and production area.
