Our Story

Good Nature Brewing was established in 2010. We set out to open the first nano-brewery in our region with the goal of bringing truly local, farm-to-glass beer to the area. We developed our original recipes out of various kitchens, from old farmhouses to studio apartments, to Co-Founder Carrie’s mom’s house, over the course of about a year. In 2011, relying on friends, old and new, to help, we renovated the original brewery space ourselves, installed a 2bbl brewhouse, and began producing GNB’s first official brews. GNB’s original 300ft2 tasting room in front of the brewery opened in January 2012 and could only offer customers samples, growler fills & kegs.

For the first 6 months, we could only make enough beer to supply GNBs tasting room and a single retailer—the Colgate Inn in Hamilton—so we embarked on an expansion after just a few short weeks. Our new 7bbl brew house arrived that June and, again with help from friends, installed the system and started brewing as quickly as we could. Shortly thereafter, we began self-distributing our beers, in a beat up old van, to about 40 retailers.

In February 2013, we became one of NY’s first Farm Breweries and, in May 2013, we opened our Tap Room in downtown Hamilton where we could now offer our beer by the glass. Just two months later, we increased production yet again and partnered with our first distributor. By December 2013, we had partnered with a second distributor and hired our first sales representative. Less than a year later, by June 2014, the brewery had increased its production by another 85%, had a team of about 10, and over 200 retail accounts. Between Spring 2014 and Summer 2015, with the addition of new tanks, we officially maxed out our little brewery’s production capacity and officially embarked on our expansion project to build our Farm Brewery at 1727 12B in Hamilton.

In January 2017, we officially closed the original Milford Street Brewery and moved operations to our new Farm Brewery Facility. The Farm Brewery is now home to our our production facility, our offices, and an onsite Tap Room featuring a unique farm-to-table kitchen and outdoor Beer Garden. The Broad Street Tap Room in downtown Hamilton closed Spring of 2020 in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Good Nature family and our operation has grown a lot in a short time. We are proud to be able to welcome you to our home, and show you all the exciting things we’re up to.
