Keegan Ales tap room opens



I stopped by Keegan Ales in Kingston on Saturday to check out the new tap room.

The space, with an open floor plan and exposed brick walls, is spare but cozy. There are a few stools around the bar. More seating is provided by beer garden-style picnic tables and old couches.

For just three bucks I got a freshly brewed Old Capital served in a mason jar. Nice touch.

My mate went upscale and ordered Keegan's special Belgian-style Old Capital ($5).

Besides serving Old Capital, Hurricane Kitty and Mother's Milk, the taproom also has a full bar and features other favorite New York breweries: Captain Lawrence, Blue Point, Brooklyn and Ommegang.

We didn't get a chance to sample the food menu, which includes Keegan's Irish Stew, sandwiches and soups.

Free homemade chocolate chip cookies were served, thanks to Tommy Keegan's wife.

Are you a Keegan Ales fan? What do you think of the new taproom?
