Beacon at the Top of Honeoye

Not to put too fine a point on it, John Linnell of They Might Be Giants sang in 1989, say I’m the only bee in your bonnet: make a little birdhouse in your soul. It’s a song about a night light shaped like a bird. Maybe it’s a lot like the one you keep on in your toddler’s bedroom at night. Or the one in the kitchen so you don’t have to fumble with the light switch. Either way, it’s nice to have a small beacon guiding your way through the interesting times we live in. So let a little brewery at the top of Honeoye Lake be your night light. Make a little Birdhouse Brewing Company in your soul.

The Birdhouse Brewing Vibe

Birdhouse Brewing Co. perches right beside Honeoye Creek as it slips beneath Main Street in the hamlet that shares its name. The brewery’s charming wrap‑around porch and shaded picnic alcoves invite the community to gather. The beer selection is varied and seasonal, with a handful of sours, ciders, and craft lagers on draft. You might sample a Hip Hop Hibiscus by OSB Cider Works, then follow it with a Lecker Kölsch. Maybe you’ll peruse the market while you wait for a smashburger with a side of mac salad. Say hi to your neighbors at the next table. Pet their golden retriever. Your respective little companions trade war stories.
