MEET OUR PROGRAM LEADERS
Yard Owl Craft Brewery
Gardiner, NY
Sixteen years ago, James Walsh and his wife Michelle combined their excitement for the restaurant business and opened Mudd Puddle Café in New Paltz, NY. Fresh roasted coffee, hand crafted food, and a warm community space has been the focus since day one. In 2012, they expanded their passion for fine crafted beverages and food by opening Yard Owl Brewery in Gardiner, NY. At Yard Owl, James, fellow brewmaster Kristop Brown, and tasting room ambassador Joe Dolan brew and serve expressive Belgian inspired ales paired with house-made pickled vegetables and eggs, and beer mustards that are served with cheese, charcuterie, and pretzels. This venue has enabled them to create a second community space and expand their creativity into another area of the food and craft beverage world.
Availability is limited. For reservations, please call .
