Burnt coffee infusion picks up dark chocolate roast, dry walnut respite and dark-roast hop bittering. A bit like day-old coffee.

OLD KLAVERACK DARK LAGER
Day-old light roast coffee nuttiness enters the fray before debittered black malt scrum and dark cocoa powdering reach mild black tea bittering above weedy earthen peat remnant.
OLD KLAVERACK HAZY IPA
Instant straight-ahead tropical fruit classic. Reliable lemony yellow grapefruit sunshine and spiced-up pineapple, mango, peach and tangerine tang pick up subtle pine lacquering over sugary pale wheat malting.
OLD KLAVERACK AMBER LAGER
Middle of the road moderation with pasty mouthfeel. Spicy amber grains back spritzy orange oiling and tannic grape souring but cheap cider murk arrives when warmed.
OLD KLAVERACK AMERICAN LAGER
Esygoing clear golden light body with fizzy lemon pep and green peppered herbage reaching light corn- whiskeyed Scotch midst above neutral white bread base.
OLD KLAVERACK BREWERY
HUDSON, NEW YORK
At a large farmland in Hudson, New York’s rural hills, OLD KLAVERACK BREWERY came to fruition in 2015 when homebrewer Erik Bell began crafting recipes in a horse barn. By 2019, an onsite wood paneled tavern was being set up for Old Klaverack to operate inside and a hop farm began cultivation.
A rustic homespun brewery with epoxy floors, wide plank wood paneled walls, bark-lacquered 12-seat bar, wood-chaired round tables, earthtone curtains and two TV’s, this farmhouse brewery also serves wood-fired pizza and appetizers.
My wife and I grab seats at the grassy picnic table on a warm July ’25 Thursday afternoon, quaffing a Mex lager, seasonal ale and hazy IPA and bringing home a few more (reviewed in Beer Index).
Easygoing Mexican Lager retained light lime spritz for sweet Scotch-licked maize base, picking up mild salty Tortilla chip crisping.
Sunshiny Summer Ale tucked slight lemon-orange peel bittering, lemongrass herbage and grains of paradise tartness inside white wheat breading, staying brisk as tertiary white peach, Meyer lemon and mandarin orange illusions trickle.
Zestfully tropical fruited New England IPA, Pixel Punch, let orange-peeled grapefruit bittering, gooseberry-guava tartness and mango tang gain a waxy lacquer atop lightly creamed oated wheat.
