Cooperstown Brewing Co

Nestled in Upstate and just outside of Cooperstown, Cooperstown Brewing Company was founded in 1995. We combine baseball and brewing so that you can celebrate America’s past time in the right way.

The brewery was formally home to the Haight Cheese Company, bought by Oscar Weatherly and Stuart Haight in 1903. “Pine Apple Cheese” was a known product of the plant. The cheese was wrapped in a handmade crochet bag and sprayed with an orange shellac. When unwrapped, it looked just like a pineapple. Upon our conception, the brewery was the only 20-barrel brewing system built by the experts at Peter Austin Partners, Ltd. out of Ringwood, England. The system is known internationally for its use of authentic, traditional brewing methods to handcraft consistent, quality ales. Our original bottling line was bought from Sam Adams brewery who had purchased the industrial beast years before from Coca-Cola. CBC’s founder was a big fan of baseball and between his interest and our location, baseball became the theme of the brewery. Most of the brews and merchandise have since been attributed to the theme.
