We’re excited to announce our featured Brewery of the Month: Willow Rock Brewing Company.
About Willow Rock Brewing Company
Brewers and co-owners Rockney Roberts and Kevin Williams officially opened Willow Rock Brewing Company in Syracuse, NY, in 2015, and they’ve been pouring top-quality craft beer for the local community ever since.
The name “Willow Rock” is a clever nod to the founders themselves, combining Kevin’s last name, “Williams” and Rockney’s first name. Since day one, the duo has focused on crafting the best local beer possible, using fresh ingredients and a finely tuned brewing process to deliver a rotating lineup of award-winning beers year-round.
Willow Rock’s Flagship Beer Line-up
From lagers to ales, to hazies and sours, Willow Rock has a favorite for everyone, no matter what your beer preference is. Using the finest hops and barley (and a dash of chemistry), there is a specific vision for each of the beers they make.
Meet their Flagship Beers:
-
Jim - Brown Ale - 5.2% *2017 TapNY Bronze Medal
A touch of smooth hops mix with shockingly powerful chocolate and caramel malts. -
Half in the Bag - West Coast Style IPA - 6.8%
A bold west coast IPA brimming with cascade, centennial, and columbus. Bitter but enjoyable for all the hopheads out there. Half in the Bag will get you where you’re going. -
Brunch - Oatmeal Sout with Maple Syrup and Coffee - 6.5%
If you’re drinking at breakfast, it’s brunch. We’re checking all the boxes of a balanced breakfast beer: Oatmeal, Maple Syrup, Recess Coffee. -
Congress - Lager - 4.8%
A historic lager recipe updated by modern brewing practices. A light-bodied approachable beer, typical of this style, that is for anyone, at any time. -
Mister Zero - NEIPA - 6.2%
Exploding with Citra Cryo and Apollo hops, this one balances dank and citrus with a unique malt from Ireland grown specifically for IPAs. -
Break Out - Blonde Ale - 5.5% *2021 NYS Craft Beer Competition Bronze Medal
Breakout of the zone with this crushable blonde ale. Combining pilsner malt and noble hops makes this one easy drinking beer.
