Ausable Brewing Company (Craft Beer & Brewery in Keeseville NY)

Ausable Brewing Company sits on a working farm outside Keeseville, New York, inside a lovingly restored 19th‑century barn that still smells faintly of hay. Brothers Dan and Dylan Badger (the Badger brothers grew up amid the very cornfields they now harvest for hops) blend rural tradition with a dash of daring, using locally sourced grains and a sustainability ethic that would make a compost heap proud. Their lineup stretches from hop‑forward IPAs to velvety stouts, from crisp lagers to tiny‑batch sodas that could easily pass as artisanal pop. Every pint bears the imprint of the Adirondack Valley’s terroir, and the brothers’ farming background guarantees that each ingredient is as honest as a farmer’s handshake.

The on‑farm taproom offers a breezy outdoor area where you can sip a limited release while a local band plays, or tuck into a food‑truck offering that feels oddly appropriate next to a frothy brew. The roster of New York‑crafted beers is impressive, and the venue hosts everything from anniversary parties to quirky special events. In short, Ausable delivers quality, character, and a healthy dose of fun without ever pretending to be anything other than a well‑run, genuinely passionate brewery.
