Weiss Ferments is arguably the best brewery experience in the Catskills. I'm not here to pit their beers against Suarez or West Kill, but if you're seeking the secret garden of biergartens, an idyllic, off-the-beaten-path spot with a lush snack menu served alongside beers that capture the wild-herb freshness of the mountain air and pour it into a glass, then Weiss Ferments ought to be on your radar.

East Durham Farms is one of the main reasons I started writing about the Catskills. Whether you're a local or a weekender, it's totally worth seeking out this little farm stand at 175 Brown Road in East Durham. In the past year, I've written about their glorious sun-sweetened peas, their kid-friendly farm animals, their impossibly delicious tomatoes, and their pumpkins and Thanksgiving turkeys. I love this place.
