The Spring Beers You Should Be Sipping in Westchester

Spring weather has arrived in Westchester, and with it comes the perfect occasion to crack open a cold, locally brewed beer.

Spring weather equals a thirst for suds. Luckily, the plethora of breweries throughout the county means there’s a solid list of brews to try while the sun is shining. Be sure to sip on these refreshing beers if you’re in search for a citrusy, creamy, or earthy flavor.

Captain Lawrence Brewing Company

444 Saw Mill River Rd, Elmsford; 914.741.2337
369 Lexington Ave, Mt Kisco; 845.261.3279

If you’re looking for a light, crushable beer, look no further than the one with “crusher” in its name. Orange Crusher is a crisp and citrusy lager with a 4.2% ABV. This beer will become your go-to drink when the sun is shining and you find yourself craving something like a Fanta, but with a bit more kick. Captain Lawrence has a few other seasonal options, including its Juicy White witbier and ‘Lectric Lemonade hard seltzer.

River Outpost

5 John Walsh Blvd, Peekskill; 914.788.4555

Enjoy a much-needed pint with a view of the Hudson River. At River Outpost, you can’t go wrong with the Barrel-Aged Orange Qbert Orange Sour IPA, which sports a potent 10% ABV. The sour IPA has a strong citrus flavor thanks to a combination of blood orange, tangerine, and orange puree.

Run & Hide Brewing Co.

223 ½ Westchester Ave, Port Chester; 914.305.1352

This Port Chester brewing company reintroduces its first-launched beer with a little twist. The Fuque de French 2.0 is a farmhouse saison with a 6.9% ABV. The beer is brewed with pilsner, flaked wheat, Carapils, and Vienna malt. The brewery used traditional ingredients like orange peel, whole coriander, grains of paradise, black peppercorns, Belgian candy, and strawberries. This is the ideal brew if you’re searching for earthy, floral, and bright flavors.

Sing Sing Kill Brewery and Taproom

75 Spring St, Ossining; 914.502.0577

Sing Sing Brewery collaborated with Brothers Fish & Chips and Hudson Roots to craft the highly unique Ossining Oyster Stout. This beer is a must if the thought of raw bar menus and alfresco dining pulls at your heartstrings each spring. As for what to expect, it has all the classically creamy sweetness of a stout, with the addition of just the right amount of East Coast brine. Allergy warning: this does contain shellfish.

Soul Brewing Company

41 Wheeler Ave, Pleasantville; 914.800.7685

Centrally located in Pleasantville, Soul Brewing Company has quite the exciting lineup for spring, including its Gold Medal-winning Maibock and a Doppelbock that’s equally delightful. If you need something to get you in the getaway state of mind right now, consider the Raspberry-Lime Pop Gose, a Leipzig-style tart wheat ale that was brewed with Himalayan pink salt and coriander, followed by a second fermentation on raspberries, with a lime zest finish. If that doesn’t have you ready to book your vacation days, we don’t know what will.

Wolf & Warrior Brewing Company 

195 E Post Rd, White Plains; 914.368.8617

Because sometimes you just need a good IPA, this entry from Wolf & Warrior does the trick. It’s the White Plains brewery’s Battle of the Badges beer, and it’s a cold IPA that hits the spot on a sunny spring day. It comes in at 6.7% ABV, with Azacca, Strata, Simcoe, and Riwaka hops delivering that crisp and clean flavor.
