About Hudson Brewing Company
Hudson Brewing Company is not just a bar; it’s a revival of a bygone era in a town steeped in history. As Hudson, NY’s first brewery since Prohibition, this establishment occupies a significant place in the city’s cultural tapestry. Located conveniently at 99 South 3rd Street near the Hudson Amtrak station and the riverfront, it serves as an easy stopping point for both locals and visitors exploring the town. The brewery, borne out of Will Thibeault's passion for homebrewing, initially took root in his garage with the first batch of Proprietors Pale Ale, marking the humble beginnings of what is now a acclaimed brewing venture.
The story of Hudson Brewing Company is a tale of resilience and homage to Hudson's colorful past. With a resolute commitment to quality, the brewery uses local New York State malts and hops to craft a variety of beers that reflect the region's rich heritage. Signature offerings such as Wayward Woman and Tainted Lady are cheekily named with nods to the town’s storied characters and events, celebrating Hudson’s provocative history. Visitors to the taproom can enjoy up to 12 beers on tap, including rotating seasonal selections. The brewery’s ambiance, crafted with an industrial chic design, makes use of repurposed materials, reflecting a theme of sustainability and paying tribute to its historical roots.
What distinguishes Hudson Brewing Co. from other breweries in the Hudson Valley is its unique nods to the past through thoughtful naming and storytelling. The brews themselves are diverse, ranging from American Pale Ales and IPAs to Irish Reds and stouts. This variety ensures there’s something for everyone’s palate while the dedication to local sourcing enhances the authenticity of each pour. The brewery’s effect goes beyond its beer, as it has become a community hub where people gather, share stories, and contribute to the narrative of Hudson’s resurgence.
