ABOUT ITHACA BEER COMPANY — Ithaca Beer Co. sits on a beautiful farm just outside the city of Ithaca, between two state parks. The brewery was founded in 1998 by owner Dan Mitchell and to this day, still remains independently owned. The facility contains a state of the art 50bbl brew system which produces about 12,000 barrels of beer per year. Ithaca Beer, led by its flagship Flower Power IPA, is distributed in 15 states on the east coast.

The long term dream of opening a restaurant was fulfilled in 2012. “The Taproom” highlights Ithaca Beer products along with locally sourced ingredients. Dan’s passion for food and family are the driving forces for the farm to table restaurant.

In 2021 a second “Taproom” was opened in Collegetown, adjacent to the Cornell University campus.
