I’m a Seattleite, but I LOVE New York’s beer scene. There, I said it! 

I’m not just talking about the Big Apple — if you ever get the chance, head north of the city, and you’ll discover a vibrant craft community. And it’s tough to find anyone more dedicated to local faire than Plan Bee Farm Brewery. 

USA Today even calls them “the closest thing to tasting a sense of New York terroir available on the market.” 

Plan Bee focuses exclusively on Wilds and Sours to really hone their craft. Today’s ruby-red pour provides a taste of just how much they’ve captured the Hudson Valley’s rich essence.

Crafted with 100% New York ingredients, the brewery fermented Zone 6 in oak foeders on earthy black currants and quince fruit. 

If you’re like me and this is your first introduction to quince, you’re in for a real treat! It’s like a cross between an apple and a pear, and brewed with this kind of expertise, it adds a delightful, almost-floral, fruity tartness to the brew. 

And I’m not the only one singing Zone 6’s praises. With a 4.26 rating after over 8,000 reviews, it’s among Plan Bee’s highest-ranked beers on Untappd. Get a sip of your own, and you’ll find yourself wanting to write your own glowing review in a New York minute:
