Upward Brewing Company

"Feel the vibe seating indoors or enjoy nature around you (including a little pond) with Upward's outdoor seating. What a great place to enjoy a selection of locally crafted beers. Food was good and the prices are on the high end as one would expect in places where the most important nutrient is beer. For the full experience, you can park your car in the free lot, hike beer mountain and return to the brewery to fill up your tanks."

"Where's the beef? Literally. This $15 burger was no bigger than a silver dollar, maybe 2oz of meat. The fish sandwich was equally dinky and looked like it came from my high school cafeteria. Nice location; embarrassing food."

"What a cool spot for a local beer. We purchased five beers to split between four adults. We had three kids with us that enjoyed the lawn and throwing rocks into the pond while looking for frogs. The beer was delicious. The food was also very good, but not my favorite. The staff was very friendly and answered all of my questions. I will be back."

"Such a visually stunning space. The architecture and design of the interior is gorgeous. The guy pouring the beer is super friendly. They allowed me to order with my dog on a leash because I was alone. I sat outside on their patio and enjoyed a bratwurst and a beer. The place is gorgeous the views are stunning there’s plenty of places to sit right up close to the building as well as pavilions out in the grounds. There’s also some sort of hike that you can do that leaves from the brewery but I was more interested in the beer than the hiking."

"We decided to drive through Livingston Manor just to have a look round. This spot was in my save places as it looked like a Swiss chalet, and what’s not to like about that. Set in a pretty valley in an open field with a small pond, it could be more scenic. The interior has high vaulted ceilings with a mid-century vibe. There are both lounge style seating areas and more traditional tables with a few high boys if I remember correctly. There is also a patio and picnic tables in the grass closer to the pond. The food is very good. Burgers etc. I had an Impossible Burger as I assumed it would be my last chance in the Catskills to have one. Yes I was wrong. Everything was tasty and done well. I was the only to have a beer but the one I had was awesome. It had yuzu in it which I liked. It seems there is a subtle Japanese influence that I never really understood how or why but again…I liked it. All in, a great spot, with a great room, view, staff, food and beer. What else could you want?"
