The Quick Scoop on Sloop

What started as a home brew type situation out of a Poughkeepsie garage in 2011 has evolved into an award-winning and ever-growing brewery and 'factory' out of East Fishkill. Sloop Brewing got their name from the boats that originally moved both people and cargo up and down the Hudson River.

They've got a combination of restaurant, tasting room and brewery, all built into the shell of the former IBM semiconductor plant in East Fishkill just off Rt. 84.

Their restaurant menu is cited as 'a passport through international street foods presented in our own style, utilizing traditional techniques & authentic ingredients, and their philosophy has always been that they are 'grounded in the craft and tradition of brewing. Open to adventure.'

In an Instagram post just about a week before Christmas, @sloopfactory teased the Hudson Valley about an upcoming closure for their 'newest chapter.' Notifying customers that they'd be closing from December 31, 2023 through January 10, 2024 as they begin to 'upgrade their space' they're excited to reopen on January 10th to unveil their 'new look.' What a tease!

They closed the post with hashtags that include redesign, transformation, renovation journey and more, as well as #freshstartgoals.
