Brewery Profile

Critz Farms Brewing & Cider Co.

In Cazenovia’s rural beer scene, Critz Farms Brewing & Cider Co. stands out as a brewery and cidery connected to a family-owned farm operation that dates to 1985. A visitor should expect the taproom to be part of a broader farm setting rather than a stand-alone city bar. The focus is farm-to-glass beverages, with the farm’s harvest tied to the beers and ciders served on site. That gives the visit a different rhythm from a quick stop for a pint: the brewery is one part of a destination shaped by agriculture, the seasons, and the landscape around Cazenovia.

Travelers in this part of New York often look for stops that combine local drink with a sense of place, especially where beer, cider, and farm activity overlap. Critz Farms Brewing & Cider Co. fits that kind of itinerary because it offers both handcrafted beers and ciders under one roof, with seasonal events adding another reason to plan a visit. Visitors interested in hop-forward ales, darker beers, or specific cider varieties should treat the tap list as something to check rather than assume; the known draw is the farm-based approach and the chance to sample beverages made as part of the farm’s ongoing work.

For planning, the taproom is the place to confirm the day’s pours, current cider and beer availability, and any seasonal events happening during a visit. Publicly known details point to a farm destination with beverages at the center, but specific amenities such as food service, reservations, outdoor seating policies, or event schedules should be verified directly before going. Because the experience is tied to the farm calendar, visitors may find that timing matters more here than at a standard brewery. A stop can be as simple as tasting what is on tap, or it can be part of a longer visit built around the farm’s seasonal activity.

Nestled in the rolling hills of Cazenovia, New York, Critz Farms Brewing & Cider Co. offers a true farm-to-glass experience. Since 1985, this family-owned operation has transformed its harvest into exceptional, handcrafted beers and ciders. It's more than just a taproom—it’s a destination where seasonal events and the bounty of the farm meet expertly brewed beverages.
