At the heart of the Finger Lakes in Geneva, you’ll find the award-winning Brewery Ardennes Taproom and Kitchen. Named after a scenic area in eastern Belgium, owners Derek and Stacey Edinger were inspired by the country’s traditional beer-making techniques and decided to share their passion with the community.

The 800-acre estate started life as a ‘hobby farm’ in 1909, but today the beautiful stonework barn is the taproom, which offers ‘Between the Tanks’ tasting experiences of Belgian-style beers brewed on site.

Belgian-inspired fare made from local ingredients is also served in a cosy bar setting. Think pretzel braids with gruyere fondue and bratwurst sausages with homemade sauerkraut, all washed down with an ale (with seasonal options including pumpkin ales available in autumn). You’d be forgiven for forgetting you weren’t in a Western European tavern.
