Rochester Democrat and Chronicle One of our favorite activities during this pandemic has been to find a safe and inviting spot outdoors to enjoy a beer and some fresh air. Even though we've been separated from each other, it allowed my wife and me to feel like we were still connecting with people. I also learned that western New Yorkers like to enjoy a beer outside regardless of the temperature. We had some great outdoors hangs. So as the world starts to open back up, I thought it would be a great opportunity to highlight some of the awesome breweries in the area where you can enjoy a beer with a beautiful view or welcoming patio.
