Hudson Valley Word of Mouth: Tim Cornelison Sr. and Tim Cornelison Jr. of Old Factory Brewing Company (Audio)
In the latest Hudson Valley Word of Mouth segment, Julia Joern talks to the family behind the recently-opened Old Factory Brewing Company in downtown Cairo.
Anchoring this small town in Greene County, this historic brick building was originally a beverage bottling plant that was neglected for decades. And now, this father-and-son team has brought it back to life. With a 5,000 square-foot tasting room, a dog-friendly outdoor beer garden, and a long porch bar that overlooks Main Street, this brewery is most notably home to on-site beer making — featuring stouts, IPAs, ales, and an American Kolsch — but also a venue for musical performances, special events, and an ongoing series of fundraisers that support the local community, including the Cairo Town Ambulance Service and the Saugerties Animal Shelter.
