Helderberg Brewery Taproom
Helderberg Brewery is a NYS Farm Brewery and tap room on the beautiful, 100-acre estate of the Carey Institute for Global Good in historic Rensselaerville, NY. We source nearly 100% of our hops and grain from local farms.
With easy access to the Edmund Niles Huyck Preserve trail system and a short drive to Kuhar Family Farm Market & Cafe, we are a great day-trip destination. Our outdoor patio and fireplace are open in the summer and fall months and we welcome families with children.
Your purchases at the brewery directly support New York State farmers and our craft beverage incubator. We hope you enjoy our locally grown and brewed beer.

Map-A-Week #7! Over the last year or more, there's been talk about the potential of farm breweries also getting microbrewery licenses so as to add more flexibility in what they can brew, especially as the required usage of NYS ingredients increases (as it did in January 2019 and will again in 2024). Here's a map showing Farm Brewery vs. Farm Brewery-Microbrewery licenses as of Dec 2019. Of the 209 operations, 72 (34%) hold dual licenses. We'll revisit this map in 6 or 12 months to see what's changed.
