The Roscoe Beer Company was founded in 2012 to honor Roscoe's designation as The Ultimate Fishing Town USA by the World Fishing Network. For owners Phil and Donna Vallone, the resulting line of Trout Town beers, created by the company's brewmaster Josh Hughes, is an expression of love for their hometown and craft brewing. The beer list currently includes ten beers from light to dark with names like Two Headed Stout (according to a local legend about a trout who couldn't decide which creek to follow) and Darwin's Theory. In a matter of years, the Roscoe Beer Co. has clearly found its place in the community. The beer itself is by all accounts outstanding, having already won honors such as the Bethel Woods Craft Beer Festival People's Choice Award for three years in a row, and a tied first place out of 170 New York breweries who competed in Governor Cuomo's Taste NY Craft B...

Along a slightly windy road in what feels like someone's own home lives the a new restaurant, bar and event space called the Catskill Pines. Once home to Tiso's Trattoria, a much beloved Mount Tremper eatery, The Pines has emerged as a meeting space for those who love amazing food, delicious coffee and great music. Created by Jeremy Bernstein, a Woodstock-born musician who performs as Burnell Pines, the space is beautifully decorated with an eclectic selection of vintage and contemporary items including a stunning organ that takes up an entire wall of the main space, the location where instruments are set up for the variety of local talents that have graced the place with music since the early days of its opening.  The hallway and bathrooms are uniquely decorated by local artist Will Lytle, also known as Thorneater Comics, who has created a masterpiece of cultural and personal references represented by stunning illustrations all done by hand directly on the wall. The Pines has recen...

The Bull & Garland is an authentic English pub and inn located in Hobart, New York, a tiny rural village known as the "book village" for its eclectic collection of small book stores along Main Street. After opening its doors to the public last fall, the Bull & Garland has become another good reason to visit this corner of the Catskills: tasty traditional pub food in a cozy atmosphere has made the restaurant a smash hit for locals and a destination spot for visitors almost overnight. It's where you go to have a great time with friends around excellent food. Owners Melissa and Oliver lovingly renovated the historic 1830s inn that houses the bar and restaurant as well as three thoughtfully appointed rooms upstairs available for overnight stays. Beautiful touches of history have been preserved throughout: hand-carved wood beams, wide plank floors, dining room fireplace, and antique heirloom decorations and furniture. The pub serves traditional, consistently delicious English pub fare in...

In the heart of the rural Catskills where farmlands, cows and crops command the landscape, the concept of farm fresh food has a very literal meaning. There's no middle man between farms and restaurants as local farmers often hand-deliver their meats, cheeses and produce to eateries where they will be served to customers on the same day. Add to this popular new craft beverage ventures, and it's no surprise that the food and restaurant culture of the Catskills has become a big draw for visitors to the area in recent years. The press have taken notice too. Many of the area's exciting restaurants and taprooms have received recognition on a national level. Conde Nast Traveller calls Catskills "New York's New Culinary Retreat." Intrigued? Here's a selection of some of the finest farm-to-table restaurants in the Catskills. Delaware Co...
