Climbing Bines Craft Ale Company grew from an eight-plant home-brewing experiment into a Finger Lakes farm brewery making small-batch ales with hops grown on its own 1.5-acre hop yard. Founded by Chris Hansen and Matt Klehammer, the brewery opened in 2013 in Chris Hansen’s grandfather’s renovated farm shed and now pairs fresh-off-the-farm beer with views of Seneca Lake and a community taproom. Its 16-acre property also serves as an event venue, including a 4,000-square-foot indoor space.

Its 5,000-square-foot tasting room and open-air Biergarten make the farm itself part of the experience.JAMISON, PA
