Clemson Bros. Brewery

Always good food Décor is great Highly recomend

Came with my sister on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon. It was not took crowded but had a nice, upbeat vibe. It was nice to be able to have a place in the area to sit outside, feel somewhat hidden and feel comfortable. Had the Lola’s Blonde Ale and the Foundation Pale ale, both were very tasty! One flaw would be that you can’t order flghts of beer outside

Fantastic pre-Father’s day dinner at Clemson Brothers Brewery yesterday. First time we have been there and it was a winner. The food is clever and tasty… and the décor is very hip and comfortable. Not at all what you would expect in Middletown… felt more like the lower east side with easy parking.
For food, we had the cheese plate app which was garnished with pickled green beans, a delicious surf & turf burger with a huge helping of lobster salad on top, the duck dog topped with a clever blueberry ketchup and fruit chutney, and the margarita pizza… would recommend all of them. in particular breads for all of these were fresh out of the oven and wonderful.
And then there is the beer… we sampled several… the Brown Stout and the Cherry Wheat Ale’s were standouts. We took a growler home and it was even better. There are a bunch of IPAs and a Cider on the menu too… all made there.
We ate outside at the cool stone bar under an industrial-​feeling canopy appointed with interesting plants, vintage lighting fixtures, a great sound system pumping deep cut rock & roll, and a few cornhole game setups. The outside bar dining area has several long tables and benches. The crowd for an early dinner was families, upscale groups with both young and older folks. You have a choice of eating outside or in the brand new spacious interior bar. There is an outside grill with a separate menu from the inside.
The staff is attentive and clearly getting their act together on making the experience better and better. One area I would suggest is figuring out how to consolidate the ordering process so you don’t have to order separately from the inside or outside menu.
We will certainly be back. If you are in the Middletown area… get off the Rt. 211 main drag and enjoy this hip yummy beer garden.

We stopped by on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Both the indoor area and beer garden are very nice. I tried three different brews. They were out of their medium IPA which is my usual draft. The beers were fresh and satisfying. We tried two appetizers, the cheese plate and the fried mozzarella and then split a hamburger platter. The food was also very good and satisfying. The whole brewery has a feeling of being new and friendly. Prices seemed very reasonable. We will return again.

Pretty much the best burger I’ve had. It’s rare to have a properly seasoned burger. A lot of restaurants may use decent meat, but few actually season the meat properly. This was a juicy properly seasoned burger. To the other reviewer who said they were frozen burgers, you don’t know what the heck you’re talking about it.
We ordered two burgers, the brie burger and the imperial burger. we split them. I preferred the Brie burger, but both were very good. I was a happy happy girl. The truffle fries are awesome as is the house-​made pickle.
Started with a flight of beers, they were all good but I’m not going to tell you what my favorite was because beer is such a personal choice, my opinion doesn’t matter other than to say I enjoyed the flight and settled on one very good one. I’m sure you would find one you like.
I know the other reviews were complaining about service, we did not have that issue. Nicole and Danielle were both very attentive to us and the food came out fast.
The only thing negative I have to say about Clemson is that I’m very confused why they have different beer and food offerings depending on whether your sit inside or outside. I don’t mind that if you sit outside you have to pick up your own food. Not a big deal, I just don’t get why one establishment would not offer their food and beverage menu to all patrons regardless of where they were sitting. That’s a little odd, but not that big of a deal. I’m glad we settled on inside dining and tried the food that we did. We will be back. Frequently.
P. S. We saw a pizza come out of the kitchen for another table and that looked really good. The question is whether or not I could forgo another Brie burger for pizza. I just can’t commit at this point. ;)

I have been going to this Brewery for some time now. I believe they opened late last year, and its well worth my travel from out of town. It has been top notch each time. The atmosphere, food and staff are all great. What I particularly like about this Brewery is that their food is all hand crafted. They use quality ingredients and you can tell when you eat it. They were out of a few beers the last time that I went, but its ok, because they just added 3 new beers to their taps.
I couldn’t believe how busy it has gotten their, especially with the new Beer Garden (which is ridiculously awesome, and you can tell someone knew what they were doing). The only thing odd was their is full service inside, and the Beer Garden is self service. I do not see this as a big deal however, most places are switching over to this type of service, and after all, it is a Beer Garden. The concept makes complete sense.
Way to go Clemson, you are doing a great job. Keep up the good work, I hope that I can visit again soon.

#1 way over priced for Middletown ny. $ 12.99 for a frozen burger with a cold bun that wasn’t microwaved long enough is crazy. #2 understaffed and you wait and wait for service .#3 there is outdoor beer and indoor beer and outdoor food and indoor food that forces you to go to either area and if you like a indoor beer and outdoor food your screwed cause they won’t bring it to you … For the prices here they should bring everything to you on a gold plate. …this is Middletown n. y not Manhattan. Lower your prices and better your service… sorry just the truth … Fix your freezers and have enough co2. Warm beer sucks and no beer is even worse

First let me say great design. As Bethany said in her review — great bathroom sink — check out how cool a concept the hardware is.
Now to get down to what’s real and unbelievable about this place. — UNDISCLOSED FOOD ALLERGEN ALERT.
Beer — good but that’s it. Limited options and an IPA is an IPA same as any other really. Mind not blown but satisfied.
Service — required to order before entering beer garden and having to go back inside to order food and to pick it up. Um … first time I’ve ever had to self-​serve at a «full service» restaurant.
Food — let’s go right to the problem! Menu does not offer any warning such as all deep fried foods are cooked in peanut oil. Perhaps they need to add Epi-​Pen to the menu.
If the person taking our order did not inform us, this would have been an ambulance ride to the ER. Salad was the only substitute option and that was basically burger fixings with no dressing. Burger was not spectacular either. Average and not entirely flavorful. Considering everyone uses Angus Beef now, this is not a selling point.
Atmosphere — the new outdoor patio area is a fantastic setting though the music system should not drain out conversation. Should add to and not take away from the comforts of being here.

Very nice, great atmosphere!
A old renovated building with a craft brewery.
The beer selection was great.
All the food was very well presented and tasty.
Truly a nice addition to the community.

A great brewery/​restaurant. They have a limited selection of beer but being that they’re brewed «in-​house» more than makes up for the limited selection. My personal favorite is the Lionheart IPA. The servers on all the occasions that I’ve been there have been extremely helpful and friendly.

I really like this place. I love the area they put it in, especially the building. I know not everyone will agree on the tastes of beers but for me personally I love the Brown Ale and the Raspberry Blonde Ale. I can’t wait until they have some new choices. The food is very good. Everyone seems to love their truffle fries and I thought they were good. The burgers, while pricey, are good and huge. My personal favorite is the brick oven pizza’s, specifically the Margarita Pizza. There can be a delay in food but when I come here I’m never really in a rush so it works out. The servers are very pleasant and always seem eager to help you pick a beer and explain the general differences. I plan to frequent this place and will update the review if anything changes.

The beers were good, I had the sampler. The burgers were delicious, we had various kinds — Old Timer, Brie, Chicken Burger, etc. The truffle fries with the burgers were awesome! The décor was nice and open, clean, chill. The service was great, very nice servers and very attentive. Looking forward to visiting again.

I really enjoyed this place. The beers were excellent, and actually much more mild and palatable to the average person, as opposed to some very hoppy beers I’ve had at other breweries. The highly alcoholic beer actually wasn’t difficult to drink at all, and went down very smooth ;)
The food was also excellent! When we got it. It took FOREVER, and there was a mistake in my dining partner’s order so we had to send it back, and it no joke took an extra 20 – 25 minutes just to fry a piece of chicken. No way should food take that long. We barely had time to eat it. But it was really tasty…
So I guess go here if you just want some beer or have plenty of time on your hands :)

I like this place, the beer is very good 4 to choose from which I like not hard to decide. The menu is small but the food was good. But the service was below sub par the witress forgot or order three times and had to come back to the table to ask us what we ordered.
We only ordered a salad and wings for apps and two burgers, when we eventually got our food the salad and burgers came at the same time but no wings she forgot them. She did apologize and I did eventually get the wings. But the food was very good.
A good spot just improve the service.

I’m wasn’t impressed with this brewery. The beers were not that good and were warm when served to us. The service was subpar, we ended up being ignored most of the time we were there even though we were one of 2 parties in the entire place. I probably wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.
The one cool thing was the bathroom sinks! If you find yourself here, check em out!

This place is seriously awesome. Kind, and knowledgeable staff, great beers and killer burgers. Happy happy happy!

Clemson Bros is a very good place to go for a casual dinner.
I instantly had a positive reaction walking into the brewery. It has a very nice atmosphere and rustic feel. The service was exceptional and they start off by giving you a description of each beer which was awesome.
We started off our meal with a flight of beer. They only have four which I thought was prefect (all came in the flight). Each beer was crisp, fresh, and delicious. Ranked in order:
IPA: This was my favorite of the four. Excellent bold flavor with just the right amount of hops.
Pale Ale: I thoroughly enjoyed this beer. It was crisp with notes of citrus. Light (not as light as the blonde ale) but packed a good punch of flavor.
Stout: I’m not a stout fan, but it was surprisingly tasty for my pallet. It wasn’t as heavy as a typical stout which I thought was nice, but it still had a bold stout flavor.
Blonde Ale: This beer was very light but had a great body with hints of fruitiness. Not my favorite, but very flavorful nonetheless. It’s ranked at the bottom, but it is not a bad brew by any means.
Now on to the food:
Appetizers: We order the bbq wings and fried mozzarella. The wings were great. They were crispy and the bbq sauce was very flavorful. The fried mozzarella was okay, but they were slightly overcooked/​charred.
Entrée: I had the Imperial Burger which was the highlight of my meal. The saltiness of the bacon paired with the sweetness of the jam and tartness of the goat cheese is probably the best combination I’ve had on a burger. The burger itself was a perfectly cooked medium. It came with truffle fries which I thought lacked flavor. Instead of shaved parmesan, I probably would have used a shredded parmesan to add an even coat of saltiness.
My friend tried the Clemson Stout Burger and said it was good. I’m going to try that the next time I go.
Overall, a great experience and I will definitely be going again.

Being a Middletown native who currently lives in Philly, it’s nice to see Middletown stepping up its beer game! I recently checked out Clemson Bros. with some friends and I will definitely be back! I started off with the sampler flight and I was pretty pumped that I liked all of the beers, even the stout. My favorite was the foundation, which had an awesome hoppy flavor. Coming right from a family dinner I wasn’t too hungry but did try some of a friend’s fries. They were cooked to perfection with great flavor. The menu consisted of appetizers, salads and burgers with pizza coming soon. Hopefully the pizza will be added by my next visit!
The service was great, and the staff was more than willing to accommodate the large group that I was with. The dining area is fairly small, but they were fine with us moving some tables together and making ourselves at home. It was a little loud, but that is to be expected on a Saturday night.
Excellent new spot. I’m looking forward to the food and beer that they come up with in the future.

This is a really great brewery and I’d recommend popping in if you’re in the area! It’s kind of in the middle of an industrial area so there’s plenty of parking. The building itself is huge and looks like some type of historical landmark.
Now for the beers, they only had four beers on tap which I kind of liked. I’d rather have 4 great beers, than more that are just mediocre. My boyfriend and I both went with the sampler which included: Blonde ale, IPA, Pale ale, and Brown Stout. Pretty simple but I guarantee you will like at least one of them. Me personally, I thought all 4 were great. The menu was small and consisted of appetizers, burgers, and salad. We split the wings and the imperial burger. The wings were good and the burger was awesome. Our server actually forgot to put our order in and we were waiting awhile, but he was very apologetic about it. I don’t mind mistakes, just own up to it and apologize.
I really liked the set up of this place and the fact that they utilized their small space very well with a bar top and tables. They also steered away from the common picnic table set up which I don’t normally care for. Also, on one end you have the area where they brew the beer, and another a tv. I really enjoyed the vibe, beer, food, and service here and will definitely be coming back!

Cool space. Really good beer! The IPA is awesome! Staff and kitchen still working out the kinks but I think they are off to a good start! We’ll be back.
