About Rare Form Brewing:

Rare Form Brewing taproom

Rare Form Brewing Company is a small five barrel brewery with a sole devotion to finely made craft beer. Our passion is to explore, invent and experiment within the realm of the ale. We get very excited about the brewing process and see it in parallel to many other creative processes. For this reason, we see brewing as an art form.

Bringing together the several geographical sensibilities in which we have lived and loved - the Midwest, West, Northwest and now the Northeast - we create beer that speak to our experiences, interests, and stories from these places. We reflect on our history from these regions in shaping our recipes as well as in how we designed our taproom.

We choose to use only the best and freshest ingredients and when available, local ones. We are friends with New York maltsers and hop growers to bring the best New York has to offer. Our focus is purely crafted beers.

In our tap room you will find our four main beers: Sabbatical Session Ale, Cascadia Double IPA, Wee Plaid Scottish Ale, and Satan's Gut Imperial Stout. We also have several rotating, seasonal and experimental beers, including one brewed by home brewers in our program we call "Scale Up". Rare Form doesn't have a kitchen but we do have selected local and regional goods to pair with each beer to highlight and bring forth different, complex and unique flavors.

Please browse around our website to learn more about our beers, where you can find us on tap, our Scale Up program and more!
