War Horse Brewing Company rolls out its barrels in Geneva, New York, a stone’s throw from the Finger Lakes, where the water is as crisp as the brews. Since opening its doors in 2008, the outfit has grown into a state‑of‑the‑art facility (the founders, long‑time mates from the local scene, decided early on that mediocrity was unacceptable) and now dishes out a dizzying menu: classic ales, experimental hops‑galaxy NEIPAs, hard ciders that could make an orchard blush, plus sodas and slushies for those who prefer their refreshment without the buzz.
Beyond the liquid poetry, War Horse runs a genuine “thank‑you” programme for the armed forces. Each can of the aptly named Lieutenant Dan funds support services for veterans, while the Pint It Forward initiative hands out complimentary pints to anyone who’s worn a uniform. The brewery’s grounds host a mini‑cluster of fellow breweries and wineries, offering visitors a one‑stop tour of the region’s best craft concoctions. With a roster that spans everything from easy‑drinking lagers to bold, barrel‑aged experiments, the place proves that quality, community, and a dash of cheeky humour can coexist in a single, well‑filled glass.
On Saturday the winery hosts an Oktoberfest celebration featuring a Stein Holding Competition, Lederhosen Contest, live music by Joe Biz and the FLX Alpine Band from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM, an Earthen Art & Botanicals Cornucopia Make & Take Workshop, Staff Pumpkin Carving Contest, a Pumpkin Vineyard Walk, Pumpkin Painting sessions, and special café fare such as Fall Charcuterie, Mini Pumpkin Cheesecakes, and Pumpkin Spice Popcorn. Admission is free, while food, drinks, and select craft workshops are available for purchase.
Western New York Mahjong and 3Bros are teaming up for an epic Mahjong Tournament on February 6, 2027.
War Horse Brewing Company offers well-balanced hard ciders, crafted beers, and a unique experience with multiple wine and beer options. Veterans are treated with a free pint, making it a standout feature of the brewery.
