USA, NY: Mountain King Brewing Company opens in Windham

A new brewery opened on the mountaintop. Mountain King Brewing Company opened its first taproom, 5351 Main Street in Windham, on Friday, Nov. 29., NEWS10 ABC reported.

“The owner lives in Windham and felt the town needed a brewery, as mountain towns do,” a representative for the business said.

The brewery will offer a variety of house-made beers, anywhere from 8 to 12. Currently on tap are an ale, a pilsner, a porter, and an India Pale Ale. The tap also includes a hard seltzer and a pinot grigio for non-beer drinkers.

Although there is no industrial kitchen at the brewery, food options will still be available. Since opening, the brewery has offered snacks to eat while enjoying a drink. The brewery has soft-baked pretzels and a charcuterie pretzel, with meats and cheese around it.

“We are not a restaurant, there are plenty of great ones in town already,” Mountain King said.

According to the business, they wanted to create a brewery that fits into the area, where craft beer enthusiasts and domestic beer drinkers can come together and enjoy their offerings. Mountain King Brewery believes they will be a good fit for the Main Street environment.

“The town has seen a handful of new businesses come in and we believe we help round out Main Street nicely,” they said.

The Windham Chamber of Commerce agrees with the brewery and is excited to welcome them into the community.

“Main Street Windham is home to many fine restaurants, pubs, shops and galleries, the Mountain King Brewery is a wonderful addition, that will complement existing businesses and will draw more foot traffic into town,” Lisa Jaeger, president of the Windham Chamber of Commerce, said.

As of Dec. 5, the brewery will open every Thursday through Sunday with varying hours. On Thursdays, the brewery is open from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays from noon to 10 p.m. and again on Sundays from noon to 8 p.m.
