A science-themed brewpub in Malta founded by two pharmacists, Brian and Nate, whose backgrounds in chemistry drew them naturally to the precision side of craft brewing — what they call "Science By The Pint." Small-batch, science-inspired beers cover a wide spectrum: the Freudian Sips Kölsch (2022 NYS CBC Bronze and 2023 NYS CYC Silver Medalist, fermented with farm-fresh honey from Betterbee in Greenwich, NY), Mom Genes Double NEIPA, the Depth Beyond stout, the Crisp as Day pilsner-style Pillsnerd, and rotating fruit ales and ciders.

Saratoga County's only true farm brewery — a 100% women-owned, second-generation family farm and field-to-glass operation in Moreau, just north of Saratoga Springs, founded by Cornell graduate Rachel McDermott after leaving an investment-banking career at Bank of America to return to the family land. Production began in August 2022, and Dancing Grain now grows more than 90% of its own brewing ingredients on-site, far exceeding New York's 60% Farm Brewery threshold. Estate-grown 2-Row and 6-Row barley, rye, wheat, sunflowers, and wild hops feed an ever-rotating lineup of lagers, ales, kölsches, IPAs, sour ales, and stouts — the Saratoga Standard amber, Crop Top hazy IPA, Sweet Bee Honey Rye IPA with honey from on-farm hives, and the experimental Farmer's Daughter mixed-culture wild ale. Yeast is propagated from cultures developed from the land itself. NYS Grown & Certified. Sunflower festival each summer; brewpub overlooks the grain fields.
