Brewery Profile

Next Chapter Brewpub

In Auburn’s historic downtown district, Next Chapter Brewpub functions as both a working brewery and a casual local dining room. A visitor arriving near the State Street corridor can expect a brewpub format rather than a production-only taproom: beer is made on a custom 10-barrel brewing system, served on site, and supported by a full-service kitchen. The layout includes a large interior dining area, a dedicated bar space, and seasonal patio seating when outdoor service is available. Its role in the city’s beer scene is tied to that combination of on-premise brewing, food service, and a downtown setting where people can stop in for a pint, a meal, or both.

For travelers moving through the Finger Lakes region, a stop here fits the common pattern of seeking small-scale breweries with changing taps and a regional identity. Next Chapter’s beer program focuses on rotating seasonal IPAs, traditional European lagers, and experimental sour ales, so the experience may differ from one visit to another. Someone looking for hop-forward beers may find an IPA among the current selections, while visitors who prefer cleaner, malt- or yeast-driven styles may look to the lager side of the list. The sour ales add a more experimental option for those interested in tart or less conventional pours. Because the beers rotate, the taproom is the place to confirm what is available that day.

Practical planning is straightforward. Next Chapter Brewpub is set up for visitors who want to sit down rather than only sample and leave, with table seating, bar seating, and patio service from spring through fall. The kitchen specializes in elevated pub fare intended to pair with the current tap list, which makes it a useful stop for lunch, dinner, or a longer break while visiting downtown Auburn. Beer distribution remains focused regionally within the Finger Lakes area, mainly through self-distribution to local bars and retail outlets, but the brewpub itself is the clearest place to experience the range of its current production. Travelers should treat tap availability, patio use, and food offerings as visit-day details to confirm directly with the brewery.
