A clean small sized bar with a nice sized patio. Great service with very knowledgeable workers. About 8 taps with about 50% being big beers when I visited. Definitely worth a stop if you are in the area.

Had a little problem finding the place. Luckily, I talked to someone who gave me directions to Southern Tier. The Empty Pint is a small taproom adjacent to the office and brewery. The locals that were there are friendly, especially when they found out I drove all the way from Indiana to visit the place and buy some beer. Was a little disappointed that they didn’t have some of the beers available but was pleased with the prices.

Southern Tier has come a long way in producing some of the best beers ever made. There year-round beers are good but their seasonal imperials and Blackwater Series brews are what make them one of the best breweries in the country by far. The Empty Pint is a little place where many locals go on a regular basis to enjoy the company of good friends with similar passions. I would highly recommend stopping in to pick up a bottle or 12 of your favorite bomber. You can pick from whatever seasonals they have out at the moment, usually for around $5, or you can even get missprint bottles for usually $3, you would find the same bottle on sale at $9 or higher. They are only open at limited times on Friday and Saturday and I have seen many people waiting for the doors to open, just to make a mad rush in and buy a case of bombers. The place is very small, and they do not serve food... but they are planning on building a new pub across the street, hopefully they will be breaking ground soon on that. For now, you can snag a pizza at the local Andriaccio’s restaurant and enjoy yourself sitting on the patio at a little tucked away brewery.

Stopped in our Saturday and had a great time. The Empty Pint is a cool little addition to a brewery that is basically in the middle of nowhere. Alex was a great bartender and she knew a ton about craft beer, and would answer any question. Was disspointed at the draft selection, but in my opinion it was for the locals over craft beer travelers. Would go back again!

Stopped by on a Sat afternoon to get a pint and a growler. They didn’t have any of the big boys on draft? The bottle selection was lacking for the big beers as well, a bunch of HeavyWeizen and a very few others. I like the small friendly tasting room, but the lack of selection was a huge letdown.

good ol’ Empty Pint! love this place! they offer the 6 or so most recently brewed beers on tap, along with a wider selection of sothern tier bottles. they do growlers as well. no food. bartenders are great, super friendly! unfortunately they’re only open friday and saturday evenings till about 8 (i suppose this is so they don’t take business from bars in the area selling their product). they also do a tour which i have yet to partake in. i was here every friday night this past summer enjoying the freshest brews in the area. it’s a suprise every time i go in - the anticipation of what they’ll have is great. however, i do wish they’d put up on the website which beers will be on tap ahead of time. highly reccomended!

Made the trip on my birthday to take the tour. Great guys they took care of me especially after they found out it was my birthday. Good thing I had a DD.

mmmmm!!! lucious oatmeal imperial stout! This beer is smooth, complex, coffee, chocolate and oatmeal. Creamy with a gorgeous tan head that leave lots of lace on the glass. Southern Tier is a small somewhat isolated brewery near Jamestown, NY that is well worth searching out. Open on Saturdays for tasting and tours from 2-5 p.m. The head brewer Phin was a former brewer at Goose Island in Chicago.
