Visiting Fulton Chain Craft Brewery: the Complete Old Forge Visitor Guide
By Elena Rostova
Q1: Are dogs allowed inside the Fulton Chain Craft Brewery taproom?
A1: Dogs are welcomed on the outdoor patio seating area, provided they remain leashed and well-behaved. Under New York health regulations, pets are not allowed inside the main indoor taproom bar.
Q2: Does the brewery serve a full lunch or dinner menu?
A2: No. The brewery operates under a farm brewery model with a focus on drinks and light snacks like warm pretzels. Visitors are explicitly encouraged to bring their own outside food or order takeout from local Old Forge restaurants to enjoy at the tables.
Q3: How much do beer flights and growler fills cost?
A3: Craft beer flights of four distinct four-ounce pours typically range between $10 and $14 depending on the beers selected. Growler fills for 64-ounce jugs run between $15 and $24 based on the rarity and alcohol content of the style.
Q4: Is Fulton Chain Craft Brewery open year-round?
A4: Yes, though operating schedules change drastically by season. Summer and winter snowmobile seasons feature four to seven open days per week, while mud season (April, May and late autumn) frequently scales back to weekend-only hours. Always check their digital tap board or social feeds before driving up Route 28 during shoulder months.
