ROSCOE, NY — The Roscoe NY Beer Co. will celebrate the opening of its newly renovated craft brewery and tasting room with a weekend-long celebration. On Friday, May 8 at 2 p.m. there will be an official ribbon-cutting ceremony, live music, food and tours of the brewery. The celebration will continue Saturday at 12 noon with more live music, outdoor games and giveaways, local artwork, a barbeque and tastings of the Trout Town™ Amber Ale, Rainbow Red, Brown Ale and “Root 206” root beer for the kids.

The former firehouse turned brewery has been transformed into a 1,600-squarefoot tasting room, bar, brewery and gift shop, with the help of local craftsmen with whom the company contracted including teams lead by Terry France, Lew Henderickson, Rob Eggleton, Gary Dahlman, Jeff Yaun, Lew Kleingardner and John DiTommaso. The brewery will be open to the public every Sunday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tours are available on Fridays and Saturdays.

Local artwork and photography will also be on display including pieces by Jack Yelle, Roger Baker and Roscoe NY Beer Co.’s own Brew Master Josh Hughes. The company will also pay homage to the Roscoe-Rockland Fire Department’s Station 29, with a tribute to the brave volunteer firefighters in one of the hallways, in addition to a special Trout Town™ “Fireman’s Brew” that will be released later this year.
