Brewery Profile

Diversion Brewing Co

A visitor walking into this Chemung brewery should expect a place with a visibly hands-on character rather than a polished chain taproom. Diversion Brewing Co. was built literally from the ground up by founders Dutch Blokzyl and Dan Bennett, and that background shows in the rustic barn setting, refurbished tasting room details, and handmade feel of the patio. Its story began with homebrewing and grew into a local gathering place, so the draw is not only the beer but also the sense that much of the space was shaped by the people behind it. For Chemung’s beer scene, it offers a small-community stop where the room, the outdoor area, and the pours are all part of the visit.

Travelers exploring craft beer in this part of New York often look for places that feel tied to their setting: informal taprooms, small-batch beer, and a chance to slow down between larger destinations. Diversion fits that kind of itinerary because it is framed around taking a break from the usual routine, with a wide range of handcrafted microbrews available rather than a single narrowly defined specialty in the known description. Since specific beer names and current styles are not provided here, visitors interested in hop-forward ales, darker beers, lighter options, or seasonal pours should treat the taproom as the place to learn what is actually on that day. The main experience is sampling across the list in a relaxed, rustic environment.

For planning purposes, the confirmed visitor amenities are the tasting room and patio, along with the barn-like setting. Details such as food service, live music, reservations, family policies, dog rules, parking arrangements, and hours are not specified in the available information, so it is best to check directly with the brewery before making firm plans. The taproom is also the right place to confirm the day’s pours, since a wide range is mentioned but no fixed beer list is supplied. Visitors who prefer a highly scripted brewery tour may want to ask ahead about any formal offerings; the known appeal here is more straightforward: come in, see the handmade character of the space, and sample the microbrews currently being served.

Diversion Brewing Co. in Chemung, New York, is the ultimate escape, built literally from the ground up by founders Dutch Blokzyl and Dan Bennett. What started as a homebrewing passion quickly evolved into a community hub where almost everything—from the tasting room decor to the patio—was refurbished and built by hand. Stop by this rustic barn setting to sample their wide range of handcrafted microbrews and enjoy the atmosphere that encourages you to truly take a "Diversion" from the everyday.
