Our Mission
Make great beer, support our community, and have fun while we’re at it.
We believe great beer should be approachable, unfussy, and meant to be shared. From our flagship favorites to seasonal releases and experimental brews, we’re always looking for ways to make quality beer while staying true to the community and people who helped us get here.
What started in 2011 with Adam Watson and second-generation brewer Justin Taylor brewing beer in a Poughkeepsie garage quickly grew beyond what either of them imagined. Sloop began pouring at local farmers markets, building a community of people who believed in what we were making.
By 2014, we’d expanded to a production facility in Elizaville, NY. Four years later, we set our sights even higher, moving into a 25,000-square-foot former IBM semiconductor plant in East Fishkill. We named it The Factory—a home for brewing, experimenting, sharing good food, and bringing people together.
Today, Sloop continues to grow while staying true to the spirit that started it all: make good beer, support the community, and have fun doing it.
