RAISE A GLASS TO AMERICA’S 250TH Anniversary this summer. The 12 breweries, wineries, and distilleries along the LivCo Libation Loop make it easy, as they roll out all the stops to celebrate.
Each loop location has developed its own Revolutionary Pour — a commemorative beverage that shows off the maker’s creativity and local authenticity, while also giving a nod to the American spirit.
The 2026 Libation Loop is back and better than ever this July, with the official passport available right on our Visit LivCo app. Be sure to snag a limited-edition Revolutionary Pours coaster, which serves as a physical keepsake for your journey. While there is no requirement to finish the entire trail, we encourage you to hit as many stops as possible to earn this year’s exclusive prizes. Complete a minimum of three stops to take home a custom-commissioned 250th Anniversary commemorative glass, or go the distance and complete all 12 stops to earn both the glass and a limited-edition t-shirt. Just be sure to move quickly, as these special rewards are available only while supplies last!
Of course, even if your visit to Livingston County doesn’t coincide with the United States’ big birthday, that doesn’t mean you still can’t have a revolutionary good time on the Libation Loop. Whatever time of year you find yourself in LivCo, stop into any or all of these local breweries, wineries, and distilleries to taste what’s on tap.

Since its inception in 2017, Mortalis Brewing Company has expanded significantly. The brewery now boasts a presence in both Buffalo and Rochester, but the original location that started it all, as well as the brand’s entire brewing facility, still lives right here in LivCo.
Grab a seat among the tanks in the taproom or snag patio seating, and enjoy a super-unique offering like the everything-bagel DIPA or the strawberry cheesecake milkshake IPA. Otherwise, expect lagers, sours, and a range of other IPAs on the menu, alongside a selection of small bites.
And if you’re wondering about the name? “Mortalis” is the Latin word for “mortal” — a recognition of the humanity that binds us all and the human connection that often occurs over a good beer.

Woodlawn Distilling is currently the LivCo Libation Loop’s exclusive distillery stop, set on a fourth-generation farm and the county’s first farm distillery since the Prohibition era. The farm grows the grains that end up in its wide range of spirits, which include whiskey, vodka, and gin.
The bright red barn that houses the tasting room is hard to miss. Stop in for a flight or cocktail, or a slushie for the kids (or kids at heart). Food trucks make frequent appearances, too. Woodlawn Distilling is also a Harvest Host location, so consider booking a stay if you’re eager to set up camp in a unique locale.

Opened in 2016, Dublin Corners was the very first brewery to open in LivCo. A nano-brewery, it sits on a fifth-generation family farm and utilizes hops grown right on-site. Furthermore, each and every brew is made with at least 60% New York State-grown ingredients.
Visiting LivCo in your RV? Dublin Corners Farm Brewery just so happens to be a Harvest Host member, welcoming travelers for a one-of-a-kind stay with its handful of RV camping sites.

If you’re visiting LivCo during the spring or summer months, you’ll find even more to love at this aptly named “little” location. The seasonal outdoor bar and grill offers freshly made handhelds and favorite fried apps, ideal for capping off a day on the lake.

As you might guess by the name, Strange Design Public House is far from your average brewery. Set in a restored 19th-century poorhouse, with many of the original features left intact, Strange Design offers architectural and historical intrigue in spades, alongside its familiar but still-unique brews.
The owners wanted the public house to be more than just a place for drinks and elevated pub fare. Considered a third space, or a place where the public is invited to gather to build community and socialize, this spot hosts a range of events, from live music to goat yoga.
LOCATED IN: AVON, NEW YORK
One of the newer breweries in LivCo, Crooked Barn Brewery, sits within a repurposed rustic barn. Swing in and sample the small-batch brews and enjoy the placid, rural setting. You’ll be able to spot the brewery easily by its mascot: the resident alpaca.

A cidery with style, OSB Ciderworks is the definition of fun. If you’re not yet a cider connoisseur, step on into the tasting room and see just how varied and vast the world of ciders can be. Whether you’re sampling a cider infused with tart cherries or a blue spirulina-hued concoction, you can rest assured that each cider was crafted with 100% New York apples.
Don’t worry — if you’re not a cider fan, the tasting room also offers beer, canned cocktails, non-alcoholic options, and bodega-style snacks that are sure to appeal to your inner child (Dunkaroos, anyone?).

Battle Street Brewery isn’t just turning out awesome libations. It’s also preserving a little piece of LivCo history. The brewery’s eye-catching structure was originally the Erie Railroad depot, constructed in the 1870s. By the time the brewery came on the scene in the 2010s, what was once the depot needed a lot of love.
Today, after a significant amount of labor, the brewery gives visitors a glimpse into the past. Artifacts and remnants of the original depot were repurposed throughout the space — some of the tables were the original depot doors, while also serving a range of craft beer, cocktails, and pub-style eats.
LOCATED IN: LAKEVILLE, NEW YORK
Solitude Brewing Company was founded with the vision of providing the community a space to gather, slow down, and connect over good drinks and good food.

All the beer is brewed on-site, with craft cocktails and wine available.
