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.
