Beer Tree Brew to Open Downtown Binghamton Taproom and Patio

Beer Tree Brew is moving forward on its long-anticipated plan to develop a new taproom in downtown Binghamton.

The craft brewing company that started operations in Port Crane less than four years ago opened a restaurant and production facility at the Oakdale Mall last fall.

Beer Tree Brew on Friday confirmed that it intends to open up a location at the 20 Hawley Street complex that was built for Marine Midland bank a half-century ago.

The business plans to renovate a 4,000-square-foot space into a taproom with a large outdoor patio seating area.

The project also will include a 3,000-square-foot rooftop beer garden that will overlook the downtown area near the governmental plaza.

The Binghamton Beer Tree Brew location is scheduled to open next spring.

LOOK: Best Beers From Every State

To find the best beer in each state and Washington D.C., Stacker analyzed January 2020 data from BeerAdvocate, a website that gathers user scores for beer in real-time. BeerAdvocate makes its determinations by compiling consumer ratings for all 50 states and Washington D.C. and applying a weighted rank to each. The weighted rank pulls the beer toward the list's average based on the number of ratings it has and aims to allow lesser-known beers to increase in rank. Only beers with at least 10 rankings to be considered; we took it a step further to only include beers with at least 100 user rankings in our gallery.

LOOK: See America's 50 Best Beach Towns

Every beach town has its share of pluses and minuses, which got us thinking about what makes a beach town the best one to live in. To find out, Stacker consulted data from WalletHub, released June 17, 2020, that compares U.S. beach towns. Ratings are based on six categories: affordability, weather, safety, economy, education and health, and quality of life. The cities ranged in population from 10,000 to 150,000, but they had to have at least one local beach listed on TripAdvisor. Read the full methodology here. From those rankings, we selected the top 50. Readers who live in California and Florida will be unsurprised to learn that many of towns featured here are in one of those two states.

Keep reading to see if your favorite beach town made the cut.
