Broken Bow Brewery
“We sat at a side bar, which had a great view of a big screen TV and several little buckets of free peanuts, which we enjoyed.”
“Quality saisons, stouts, lagers, ipa's, special beers, friendly staff, and a great space to boot.”
“If you're like me and love a brewery with activities, they do have a couple drawers filled with board games and a dart board in great shape off to the side where you're not in anyone's way.”

Broken Bow Brewery is a small brewery located in the burbs of NYC in Tuckahoe. Yes Tuckahoe, New York go figure. Now with this said, Broken Bow Brewery has some tasty beers. Remember, this is the main thing; "good tasty beers".
The brewery has a nice selection of the varies styles of beer; IPA, seasonal, ale, larger, stout, etc . I really enjoyed tasting 4 or 5 different beers on my first visit with the wife. I find this the best part of the brewery experience. Tasting tasty beers in a comfortable Tap Room. You can purchase pints, flights or growlers.
The Tap Room is a spacious area with plenty of seating. They have a half dozen soft leather chairs and a couple of dozen bar stools to seat and enjoy some beers. There is a 60 inch TV to catch a game. While there is no food service. Free peanuts are available plus you could bring in outside food. The wife and I ordered pizza. Always goes well when sampling beers.
Service was good. The staff seem young, but knowledgeable. Clean bathrooms. Take credit cards.
Overall, Broken Bow Brewery is a solid brewery. The beers are tasty and flavorful. The Tap Room is comfortable. The facility was well designed and spotless. All this makes for an excellent brewery experience. Broken Bow Brewery is definitely a must visit if you are making the rounds of breweries in the area.
Broken Bow may not be the very best brewery I've been to but I certainly can't think of a reason why I wouldn't give them 5 stars.Broken Bow is easy to get to by car but even if you don't have a car it's a reasonable train ride and walk from metro north. They don't serve food but let you get food delivered and even have some local menus to browse through. They do have free peanuts at all their tables as well. In addition to the few hightop tables and stools they have half a dozen comfortable leather chairs. I really liked their industrial yet comfortable layout with having the tasting room among the brewing tanks. If you're like me and love a brewery with activities, they do have a couple drawers filled with board games and a dart board in great shape off to the side where you're not in anyone's way.
For beers they had about a dozen on tap. They do carry a limited selection in cans or large bottles and of course growlers are also an option. Though I've been to about 50 breweries Broken Bow is only the second brewery I've ever purchased a growler at. The reasons are because they had a unique growler that looked like a mini keg and because their Pumpkin Octoberfest beer was excellent and it wasn't an option they had in cans and I didn't want to have to hunt down a bar that may be serving it. It was $18 for the Growler and $15 to fill it (some of their other less specialty beers were $12 to fill and their regular glass growlers are $16). Unlike many other pumpkin beers that only really taste like cinnamon and nutmeg this one actually tasted like a pumpkin and of course beer, the combination was very well balanced. Of course pumpkin beer is a seasonal thing and not for everyone so the good news is that they had a lot of other great beer options. Whether you liked stouts, lagers, IPAs, or reds, or sour beers they had something available for you. None of the beers were a disappointment. Flights include 4 beers for only $6 and come with a little chalkboard identifying them. It's also worth noting that the service here was excellent and being open 1- 10pm (Fri & Sat) was awesome. They're closed Monday and Tuesday but open 5-8 Wed/Thur and 1-5pm Sunday.
I'm definitely planning on making a return trip here and as they don't have any outdoor space (a shame) there's really no reason not to wait for warm weather for another trip up to Tuckahoe for a couple more beers at Broken Bow.
I was glad we made it out to Broken Bow when we were in the area. On a day when we were already visiting two other breweries, it made sense to add this one to the list, even if my boyfriend and I had never heard of it before. The beers we tried were all very good – my boyfriend got a flight, and I got a pint of something with a hint of cranberry that I really liked. We sat at a side bar, which had a great view of a big screen TV and several little buckets of free peanuts, which we enjoyed. A group next to us was playing a board game, and we couldn't help but notice that there was an old school Nintendo system with tons of games available to play. Next time.
