Cooperstown may be famous for baseball, but there is another local tradition worth exploring: craft beverages.
Otsego County was once one of the country’s leading hop-growing regions. Today, local brewers, winemakers and cider makers are keeping that agricultural history alive with Belgian-style ales, small-batch wines, farm-brewed beer, fresh apple cider and creative seasonal beverages.

The Cooperstown Beverage Trail is a 37-mile route connecting many of the area’s craft-beverage producers. You can visit one or two locations during an afternoon or create your own tasting tour through the surrounding countryside.
Hours at many locations change seasonally, so check with each business before leaving the campground. If you plan to sample alcoholic beverages, please bring a designated driver or arrange transportation.
