Two Iconic Poughkeepsie Businesses Team Up for Brand New Surprise!

A Culinary Legacy in Poughkeepsie

This weekend, beer enthusiasts and food lovers can rejoice with the launch of “Rossi” Beer, a collaborative brew from Plan Bee Farm Brewery and the beloved Rossi & Son’s Deli in Poughkeepsie. Established in 1979 by the Rossi family, the deli has become a cornerstone of the community, renowned for its authentic Italian cuisine and dedication to quality.

From Little Italy to Alimentari

Originally starting in a small location in Poughkeepsie’s Little Italy, Rossi & Son’s Deli eventually expanded to a larger space, Alimentari. Under the guidance of the Rossi brothers, the deli crafts everything from fresh focaccia to homemade pastas and delectable pastries. Their commitment to traditional methods and local ingredients is evident in every dish they serve.

The Essence of Amaro Culture

“Rossi” Beer embodies this same philosophy. The unique brew features a vibrant base of Montmorency cherries, harmoniously paired with foraged dandelion root, lavender, and a variety of mint. The result is a beer that captures the essence of both the farm and the deli, delivering a taste that is tart, sweet, and delightfully bitter.

Rooted in Local Agriculture

At Plan Bee Farm Brewery, using 100% New York State ingredients is a cornerstone of their brewing philosophy, with many ingredients sourced directly from their own farm. This commitment to local agriculture enhances the flavor and fosters a deep connection between the beer and its community.

This weekend, visitors are invited to savor “Rossi” Beer—an exquisite blend of culinary heritage and craft brewing right in Poughkeepsie!
