Finger Lakes Sunset Kayak Brewery Tour During the (almost) Full Moon
THE ADVENTURE
Our first Kayak Brewery Tour sold out so we created another one, and this time it’s a happy hour paddle. We chose this date for a few reasons. We had so much fun on our scouting mission on a weekday after work we thought others would too and on this night, we’ll be able to watch the sun set over the lake.
Join us for a fantastic lake day with friends in the Finger Lakes. Rent a kayak or bring your own. Canadice Lake Outfitters will be shuttling kayaks to/from our launch site for our Honeoye Lake brewery tour lake day adventure. We’ll catch the sunset and the (almost) full moon rise and enjoy the serenity, sites and sounds of the water with a two hour paddle including a stop at the dock of Twisted Rail Brewing for a flight tasting with one of the brewer owners. We’ll be welcomed back to Birdhouse Brewing with three small batch craft beers paired with cheese from East Hill Creamery.
The Finger Lakes area is blessed with some of the most beautiful lakes in the world. To experience them from a kayak is to see, hear and feel the water in an intimate way. Honeoye Lake is located 30 miles south of Rochester. It is one of the smaller Finger Lakes and one of the prettiest. It is also the shallowest of the Finger Lakes giving it the warmest water temperature. The area around the lake isn’t very developed which adds to the beauty of the lake with tree-covered hillsides.
The two breweries on Honeoye Lake are must-visit destinations for brewery fans. Arriving by kayak adds to the fun. The paddle will be about one hour and 45 minutes.

Cheese pairing with East Hill Creamery
East Hill Creamery is run by Gary and Betty Burley who in 1981 started East Hill Farm with just 100 acres and 18 cows. With the help of 4 of their children, they now milk 1,300 cows on over 1000 acres in Perry, NY and that fantastic, grass-fed milk is what East Hill cheeses are made from. East Hill Creamery has taken the ideal of traditional farmstead cheese and elevated it. By using raw milk exclusively from their dairy farm they are able to guarantee quality from pasture to plate. The terroir of Wyoming County has led them to focus solely on Alpine-style cheeses. Proud to be a part of Wyoming County’s rich dairy history, and proud as well of the artisan cheese they are making.

If it rains this Wednesday for the Kayak tour will it be rescheduled or do we kayak in the rain?
Are the kayaks single or is there an option for a 2 person kayak?
There are two person kayaks available although no one seems to like them. As much as they sound fun, it is difficult to sync the paddling and most prefer two singles. At this time, we are waiting to see if the Canadice Lake Outfitters has more singles we can rent. I you want them, send us an email and reserve the double- only ticket showing available until we update this (if they do in facet have more singles available). We are very close to full, so dont wait to get your tickets.
Hello, we hope for clear skies but we kayak in the rain unless it’s miserable , then we’d drive to the other brewery or change the order of the night to have us on the lake when it’s dry.
