Fairport Brewing Company and Meadery

Meadery in Rochester, New York

4.5★ 184 Google reviews 2nd most reviewed of 16 in New York

Fairport Brewing Company (FBC) was started in a one bedroom apartment in the village of Fairport and grew quick. Literally with a few bucks, a shoe string, a dream and a bucket we grew pretty quickly, and continued to add new lines to make the story even more interesting. We hope you can come check out both our locations as each is very different. We specialize in craft beer, kombucha, hard kombucha, mead, root beer, roasted coffee beans, and sell local wine/spirits. Two tap rooms with one on University and one in the center of Fairport.

Is Mead Wine or Beer?

Mead is wine. It ferments from honey rather than grain, and federal law regulates it under the wine rules, even when it is poured in a taproom that feels like a brewery.
