About Us
Our Story
Handcrafted with local ingredients
Handmade, traditional local beer brewed fresh in the hills of Cherry Valley, New York. Red Shed Brewery produces small-batch craft brews available only locally in and around Cooperstown, NY. We love beer and are proud of the quality, style, and drinkability of our brew.
Our original brewery location in Cherry Valley may be hard to find, but once you are there, you will understand why it is worth the trip! Open only during the weekends during warm months, the original Red Shed Taproom & Brewery has outdoor seating with a view of the rolling hills that are so well-known in the Southern Tier region of NY. Our Cooperstown location has 20 taps, a warm-weather beer garden, and is open throughout the seasons.
Stop by and introduce yourself — we look forward to getting to know you. Cheers!
NY Farm Brewing
Dedicated to handcrafted brew, made fresh…
Otsego County, NY has a history of American hops farming. Red Shed brewery is located in an old milk house in the hills around Cherry Valley with a historic hop house in our view.
Red Shed proudly uses ingredients from the following farms:
- Argyle Craft Malts & Hops, Argyle, NY
- New York Craft Malt, Batavia, NY
- Pedersen Farms, Seneca Castle, NY
- Willet Hop & Grain, Willet, NY
- Riverview Hop Farm, Afton, NY
As a NY State farm brewery, Red Shed Brewery uses mostly NY state hops and grains in all of our beers. We love buying from our neighbors, and our beers represent the seasons and climate of NY as the weather changes from year to year. As a farm brewer, the requirements are:
> Until the end of 2018, at least 20% of the hops and 20% of all other ingredients must be grown in New York State.
> From January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2023, no less than 60% of the hops and 60% of all other ingredients must be grown in NY State.
> From January 1, 2024, no less than 90% of the hops and 90% of all other ingredients must be grown in NY State.
