F.A.Q.

THE TAP

Can I enjoy your beer at the brewery?

Yes! THE TAP - our indoor space where you can enjoy on-premise pours and take bottles and cans to do - is open THURSDAY - SUNDAY 12 PM - 6 PM. Visit drinksuarez.com to see what’s available.

WHOLESALE

We'd love to serve your beers at our establishment. How can I open a wholesale account with you?

We are a small production brewery that currently self-distributes solely within NY state. We are currently at capacity for our wholesale accounts, but we highly encourage that you email us at cheers@suarezfamilybrewery.com. We keep a list of folks to reach out to if / when we have more capacity. 

DONATIONS

We are looking for a donation. How can we make that happen?

We get a very high volume of donation requests, and we do our best to accommodate as many as we can. Understand that we are a really small team, with limited capacity, so here are some general guidelines:

  • We have limited production, and therefore can only grant product donation requests in the Winter months.

  • We require two week's notice for any donation requests.

  • We favor donations for local causes.

If you have a donation request kindly email cheers@suarezfamilybrewery.com and we will determine if we fulfill your request. Thanks in advance for reaching out.

THE TAP (our outdoor patio)

Will you fill growlers from other breweries?

We are not currently filling growlers, but we have lots of cans on offer.

Are kids allowed at THE TAP?

We are a family-friendly establishment, and we encourage well behaved kids of all ages to join you at THE TAP, although only those over the age of 21can purchase / taste the beer.

Do you allow dogs at THE TAP? 

We have a small space that can’t currently accommodate dogs, but stay tuned for Spring 2024 when we’ll have a dedicated outdoor space for dogs.

My (fill in the blank person of interest) LOVES Suarez Family Brewery? Do you have gift cards that I can purchase to give to them?

Yes, we have these gift cards that you can even buy from afar.

Do you guys have a membership program?

You are not the first to ask. We do not currently have a membership program, but we’ll spread the word if we get our act together and add one.

Do you serve food at THE TAP? 

We serve freshly baked hand-made pretzels and some other goodies but feel free to bring other items to enjoy. Check out Tivoli General, Otto's Market, Quinnie’s or Little Rico to get some snacks. 

I'm still hungry. Is there any place I can eat a more substantial meal near you. 

There are some great spots in the local area. Our favorites are:

  • GASKINS // Dinner only. Dan's brother and his wife run the joint, but we'd love it even if we weren't related.

  • RIVERTOWN LODGE // Dinner and Weekend Brunch.

  • LIL' DEB'S OASIS // Dinner only.

  • BUBBY'S TAKE AWAY KITCHEN // Lunch. We dig on the brisket burritos and Caribbean Chicken. And can't get enough of the housemade chai (hot or iced).

  • CAFE MUTTON // Pure genius serving up brunch and some evening specialties on Fridays. Plot your trip, accordingly.

Do you serve flights? 

THE TAP is named expressly because we will only be offering ONE beer at any given time. We shifted to this model to provide a more communal tasting experience - to serve you up whatever is tasting best at any given time.

I am organizing a bus tour. Can we stop at your brewery? 

We have a relatively small space so it's hard to accommodate large groups, but if you are really eager to check it out kindly pop us an email at cheers@suarezfamilybrewery.com so that we can have a heads up and better accommodate your group.

Can I buy a keg from you for a private home / party?

We sadly do not have the capacity to supply kegs to our retail customers at this time. We'll be sure to update this if / when we do.

Can I book your tasting room / outdoor patio for a private event? 

Not at the moment, but if you have an inquiry pop us an email at cheers@suarezfamilybrewery.com and we can discuss further details.

I'm coming from afar. Is there any place to stay around there? 

We're happy to give you an excuse to get away. Here are some spots to help you make a trip out of it:

 

BEER / BREWERY

It's a hike for me to come to your tasting room. Where else can I find your beer?

We currently self-distribute within New York state, and you can find our beer at a variety of places in the local area, the capital region, and down in Brooklyn. Some of our regular accounts include:

I'd love to work at Suarez Family Brewery. Are you hiring?

You never know when we might need someone new. We'll post any employment opportunities via Instagram, but feel free to send an email to cheers@suarezfamilybrewery.com and we'll alert you when we have openings. 

DESIGN

I'm digging your aesthetic. Who does your design?

Thanks! While we can take credit for the beer, the look and feel of Suarez Family Brewery has been a collaboration with many talented folks. 

  • LOGO / WEBSITE / GROWLER DESIGN / FRUIT BEER LABELS all done by the hilarious duo Max Kaplun and Audrey Robinson.

  • COUNTRY BEER LABELS most of our country beer labels are the handy work of Natalie Renganeschi. Each one is an original piece of art. You can also find a rendition of her 100 FT North label on our first edition t-shirt.

  • ILLUSTRATIONS our second edition t-shirts (plus more to come) were dreamed up and brought to life by our friend and neighbor Emily Isabella.

  • ANNIVERSARY POSTERS + T-SHIRT DESIGN / PRINTING no one is as prolific as Wolfy Part II. Magic.

  • DOMAIN LABELS + CHICKIE PAINTING we're lucky to be in such good company. Our neighbor Chad painted both of these masterpieces.

  • SIGNS many designed and implemented by the one and only Christin Ripley, Colin Packard + Derek Nielsen

  • MURAL / SELECT SIGNAGE crafted by Colin Packard.

  • PHOTOGRAPHS we're lucky to know people equally enthusiastic about beer and photography. Thanks to Fuj, Julie, Mark and Nat.

  • TASTING ROOM + GARDEN last but not least, Dan's dad Santi continually works some serious magic.
