Central New York: Brew Central – Royal Meadery
Gregory Wilhelm uses a deceptively simple recipe of honey, water and yeast to brew mead, a relatively uncommon wine-like drink. He discovered the world’s oldest fermented beverage while attempting to blend business and bees together in his post-college plans.
A historical hub for beekeeping, Schoharie County still supports sizable honey harvests that afford Gregory plenty of room to grow as interest in mead increases among craft beverage connoisseurs. Awareness of the alternative alcohol has spiked thanks to regular appearances in the hit television show and cultural phenomenon “Game of Thrones.”
The simple honey-yeast-water core can be combined with a vast number of companions like fruit and spices that the Royal Meadery sources locally as well. It’s that endless potential that keeps Gregory creating and business buzzing.
Gregory: I started in craft beer. I started with one mission, to use local ingredients in as many ingredients that I produced. I started a garden at my parents'. I grew blueberries, raspberries, hops, and I got a beehive. I was addicted to bee-keeping. I started getting more hives, and more hives, and more hives, and I became overloaded with honey. What else do you do, you produce mead. It was a good transition from craft beer into mead-making, because there are a lot of similarities between the two products. It's the world's oldest fermented beverage.
People have forgotten about mead, and it's starting to come back into popular culture through Game of Thrones. I think people are more willing to try some of these alternative fermented beverages. Cider's growing back really quickly, and we're seeing mead see the same growth as cider, and it's really exciting for us that we could be the next cider or craft beer.
To me it's the world's oldest fermented beverage. It's created by fermenting honey, yeast, and water. That's the most simple form of mead. You can add anything into mead: fruit, spices, even vegetables. There's a ton of things you can do.
Our core product's New York Nectar, and that's a traditional mead. From there we add fruit and we get our Mumford's Melomel. We add ginger, we get our metheglin, which is a spiced mead. There are a lot of different flavor combinations you can create with such a simple recipe.
Central New York has a lot of apples, and to create apples you need a lot of pollinators, so there are a lot of beekeepers in central New York. We found some of the biggest bee-keepers in New York are in central New York. We were able to partner with one and get honey from one to get enough honey for this year, and probably for the rest of our life, he's so big. These are people that have a rich history in this, and they've been in central New York their entire life. They're going to be in central New York because of all the other ag crops that they pollinate.
It's great to have so much company and other beverage producers. They're all more than willing to invite you in and tell you everything they know. I started because of KyMar Farm, Ken Wortz' offer of the opportunity to come up there and see what he does. He walked me through licensing, and financial, legal, everything. It really made me say, I can do this. Everyone in New York has been great. They're so encouraging, they walk you through anything you need, and to be in this together with so many great producers makes me proud to be a New Yorker.
Whether tipping a farm-to-glass beer at a brewpub, sampling some moonshine or enjoying a sip of hard cider or wine, you’ll be a part of something special in Brew Central. Central New York brewers, distillers, publicans and vintners offer the state’s best craft beverages on par with any of the United States’ finest pints.

Visiting Finger Lakes, The Finger Lakes Region, Central New York, United States
The Finger Lakes are a group of eleven long, narrow, roughly east-west lakes in a region called the finger lakes region in Central New York in the United States. This region is defined as a bioregion. They are a popular tourist destination.
The lakes' shapes reminded early map-makers of human fingers, and the name stuck. Cayuga (435 feet, 133 m) and Seneca (618 feet, 188 m) are among the deepest in the United States, with their bottoms well below sea level. The two longest are close to 40 miles long (64 km) from end to end, and never more than 3.5 miles (5.6 km) wide. Cayuga (38.1 miles) is the longest, and Seneca 66.9 square miles (173 km2) the largest in total area. For more info, visit this link:

Bad Frog Brewery, Inc. vs. New Your State Liquor Authority
NY breweries expand locally
HOOSICK FALLS -- Browns Brewing Company is working to finish
construction on a new facility that will eventually allow it to bottle twenty
times what it can do in Troy. The facility is part of a national trend of
regional breweries expanding.
As a category we're up. We are certainly up.
We're at the point where we can't make any more beer in Troy, so demand is
there now it's time for supply, said Gregg Stacey, Vice President of Marketing
for Browns.
Browns has enjoyed positive relations with
the state and local leaders, which has allowed it to invest further. It plans
to expand throughout New York and to some nearby neighboring states.
I'm always flattered when we go out to a
restaurant and someone is drinking a pale ale next to us or an oatmeal stout,
said Browns co-founder Kelly Brown. ,I just nudge Garry [Brown] and say look!
Thats our beer. We're not just drinking it.
Other breweries have had similar success as
well.
Last year Gov. Andrew Cuomo hosted a Beer,
Wine and Spirits summit to encourage brewers to develop locally. Recently Ravens Head Brewing Co. announced
plans to move into the Cohoes armory in March and begin bottling by the fall.
Cohoes has their act together. Theyre right
on their game and they're proactive about the way they approach everything,
said Brennon Cleary, President of Ravens Head.

Central New York: Brew Central – Life of Reilley Distilling & Wine Co.
Despite running around his busy distillery most of his waking hours, flip-flops remain Ben’s footwear of choice. In fact, he wears them with shorts all year round. Such is the Life of Reilley, a company and philosophy rooted in a carefree and comfortable existence.
Ben and Shioban Reilley took a big leap of faith launching the distillery, Madison County’s first since Prohibition.
A former vintner, Ben had never piloted a still. But, his passion for enjoying and making craft beverages pushed him into business producing vodkas that now quickly disappear for distribution after bottling.
In the same way the “little things” make the Reilley way of life worth living, it’s the attention to detail that makes Reilley’s vodka worth drinking. The exclusively New York-grown ingredients give Ben’s spirits a solid, subtle flavor intended to inspire relaxation.
Ben: I was the director of operations for a local winery for 4 years, and quite honestly, my wife and I sat down after 4 years and we said, If you're going to work 80 hours a week for somebody, it might as well be for yourself. We saw a hole in the marketplace for a local, micro-craft distillery. We said, You know what? Beverage chemistry is beverage chemistry. Again, so we sat down and Life of Reilley was born. It was kind of an antiquated term, it basically means the carefree, comfortable life- which as you can see in my flip flops and my shorts- it says right on our bottle, the definition of the life of Reilley is a carefree, comfortable existence.
For us, it's riding down to Cazenovia Lake with the top down on the Jeep, swimming in the lake all day and having campfire with friends, and just having an awesome time. At the same time, being cognizant of where your stuff comes from, enjoying the sunset and enjoying the small things in life, so that's how Life of Reilley was born. For us, it's the story I like to tell is craft spirits are where wine was 20-25 years ago, and craft beer was 10-15 years ago. Now people are turning their attention to the back of the bar. They're saying, Okay, I want to know where my wine comes from. I want to know where my beer comes from. Now I want to know where my spirits come from. We're kind of riding that crest of popularity. I find it just to be a natural extension of people wanting to know where their stuff is, supporting local and know that they're supporting local farmers and families.
I think that's what people don't really understand when it comes to craft beverages. Aren't you worried about 1911, aren't you worried about Adirondack? No, I'd like to have my tasting room right next to them! All we're looking to do is grow the New York pie, and get more people into New York products. In terms of Central New York, I think we're on the forefront. I've always thought we were on the forefront of people trying to understand where their stuff comes from, and then reinvesting back into the community. There is something so cool happening in the Utica/Central New York area that my theory on that is Utica and the Mohawk Valley got such a poor rep for such a long time, that so many young people finally just bubbled up and said, I'm not going anywhere, I'm going to start building something cool right in my backyard.
We use 100 percent New York flaked corn, comes from the Finger Lakes, mostly Skinny Atlas, Auburn, Geneva area. We get it sourced here, it comes by 18-wheeler. 30-foot auger comes swinging out and gets pumped right into those bags over there. Are disco lemonade is raspberry vodka, fresh-squeezed lemonade, and we use about 20-25 mint leaves that we soak overnight. That'll be our disco lemonade product. After that, the sky's the limit when it comes to pre-mixed cocktails. We're taking our business in a completely different direction. We've poured it for people and they've absolutely loved it.

Central New York: Brew Central – Empire Brewing Co.
David Katleski was a restaurateur willing to take a chance on a new trend in the 1990s. His Syracuse brewpub became a cornerstone of the budding New York state craft beer movement and David became a leading advocate for growing the industry to national prominence.
Head Brewer Tim Butler also came from a culinary background before becoming an exceptional brewer, getting his professional start at nearby Middle Ages. He used to stop into Empire for a pint after his shifts there and David eventually tapped his talent that has taken the brewpub to the next level.
Tim shares David’s commitment to using nearly all-local ingredients in both the beer and restaurant fare. The rich hop and agricultural history of Central New York gives a unique character to Empire’s beers that no doubt help feed the growth of New York’s craft beer niche.
Tim: People ask me what do I enjoy most about being a brewer. One of the greatest things is when you create something and you see someone come out and they put their hard earned dollars on the bar for it and they take it and they enjoy it, they drink it. You see the smile come across their face. You know, that's really, really rewarding. I don't think that's ever going to change for me. I always enjoy watching people enjoy our product.
I think that we are on track to become one of the best brewing states in the country. There are a lot of new breweries popping up but the quality of the beer is, I think, maintaining a very high standard. I think there's a lot of room for all of us. I think as a whole, as a New York state beer, we have a lot of potential and a lot of room to grow together and become one of the best brewing states in the country.
I think that New York state in general and Central New York in general, has very passionate farmers. I know farmers from dealing with them through here at the restaurant. Be it beef suppliers or vegetables suppliers. They can be as passionate or are as passionate as brewers are. I think there's definitely a common connection there. Their growing something, creating something that then their passing on to us to put in our product. Now that I've been more and more using New York state ingredients, there's definitely a different characteristic to them. As opposed to ingredients that are grown in other parts of the country or other parts of the world for that matter. I do think it's giving us a local flavor, a local character that you're not going to be able to emulate in other parts of the country unless you come to New York state and buy New York state ingredients. They do give us a unique flavor and give us a unique style of beer.
David: The thing different hat you will know about a New York state beer is, you know the French liken the term to terroir. You can actually taste the ingredients from Central New York. It's kind of odd but the hops tend to be slightly different citrus flavor. The barley tends to be a little, bolder in flavor. There is a character, a central New York characteristic that you get definitely out of this.
So far, we've done really well with our brand. Notably we do the flagship beer for the Waldorf Astoria. It's a honey brown with honey that they cultivate off of the twentieth floor apiary area that they have at the hotel. We also make the exclusive beer called Empire Green for Tavern on the Green in Central Park. We have the flagship moniker brew for them. The brand has done really well on the high end scale. It's also in a lot of dive bars too. In fact, one of my favorite places in New York to go have this beer is a place called The Dive Bar, so go figure.
To be able to go to your local mom and pop bar in a corner, to very high end restaurants and be able to fill within that, shows the versatility of our brand. We do things with a lot of passion, with a lot of love. That's how we make our beer. That how we make our food and that's how we try to run our business.
Tim: The craft beer drinker now is very savvy, very understanding. They know what they want, they know what's good and they know what's not good. You can't pull wool over anybody's eyes anymore. You got to brew quality if you want maintain. I think Empire had always done it. They've always had quality beer, quality food, quality atmosphere. It's just a brand that people, once they latch on to, they don't let it go.

Central New York: Brew Central – Roots Brewing Company
Russell Scimeca quite literally went back to his roots when he decided to start a brewery. The Leatherstocking Home Brewers club he joined more than a decade ago used to meet in the building that is now the home to Roots Brewing Co.
Russell spent a good chunk of his 20s seasoning his palette with the help of publications like Yankee Brew News. Back in the day, he would rip out portions of the paper that contained breweries he wanted to visit throughout the Northeast.
After meeting co-founder Jason Parrish through a friend of his wife’s, business plans started brewing. A lover of Belgian ales and scientist by trade, Jason treats the brewery like a different type of lab where experimentation and intense precision produce exceptional beers.
Russell: Roots for us is about grass roots. It's about coming up out of the earth, coming up out of a place of not being in the industry, coming up and building this essentially from nothing. We're all self-funded. We had to use every penny very wisely and put together the space that we knew we would want to come and hang out in with our family and friends, bringing in artists to come and decorate our walls, bringing in different colors. This bar, for example, was hewn from my father-in-law's uncle's property. We went out, reclaimed it, brought it to another sawmill, had it planned, and so we built this by hand. It took quite a while. I've got limited business experience. My partner's got a bit of brewing experience. He's a well-seasoned scientist.
Jason: I was in drug design. I wanted to get into drug delivery systems. We're just going to narrow down the drug to alcohol, and we're going to design the systems for it. Brewing is a lot like cooking. It's like cooking soup, in a way. It's a blend of flavors and being able to see what you want. A lot of people think science is very rigid and following a recipe, but it's really more of an art. I think the most successful scientists are very creative,. I like to be creative, and express myself creatively. Brewing is perfect for that.
We like to keep maybe three solid regular beers and then rotate the rest as needed. Inconceivable to straight Belgium triple. Like I said, Abbey style, no spices, all pale and Pils malts. We do add Belgium candy syrup to it. Another one of our cores is the bonafide black. That was a recipe ... I think Russ spontaneously came up with it. Not spontaneously, you know, a little bit of research and stuff. We tweaked it a little bit, but it's one of the customer favorites. So far the beer's been really well received.
Russell: There's two colleges. There's a lot of professionals that want beer and want to come here to drink beer. We believe in supporting local main streets. Not interested in supporting sprawl. We really want to bring people together where they shop and buy historically storefront. Upstate New York's downtowns are shriveling. We want to be a part of revitalizing that.

Rochester's Craft Brew Scene Might be the Best in the Country
On this episode of Beer Artisan, we visit the Rochester, New York brewing scene.
Rochester has been brewing beer since the early 1800’s. The first brewery in Rochester settled on the east bank of the Genesee River after a spring of pure water on Central Avenue was discovered. Although that brewery no longer exists, the oldest running brewery in the state, Genesee Brewery, still brews on that same river.
