Report: Sights and sounds from inside Woodland Farm Brewery's Historic Hulbert House Taproom

BOONVILLE- Have you had a hard time getting a parking spot on Main Street lately?

Well, there's no official explanation from village officials, but based on the booming influx of visitors mobbing the newly re-opened Hulbert House Taproom by Woodland Farm Brewery, it seems that would most likely be the main reason.

"I haven't seen this much traffic on Main Street in many, many years," said local patron Guy Case. He is just one of hundreds of people who have visited the historic establishment since it celebrated its grand re-opening right before Christmas.

"Walking in here was like a fast seven-years-ago. The amount of people and the energy and the excitement," said local resident Kim Allen. 

With the re-opening of the Hulbert House, village officials say it only adds to the growing movement of new businesses blossoming in downtown. 

"It's part of the little village square, it's part of the image of Boonville," said Mayor Judith Dellerba. "I couldn't be happier!"

After all the exciting anticipation since Woodland confirmed it would anchor the Hulbert House as its second taproom, folks who have visited keep remarking how thrilled they are to see the round bar back, which was original to the establishment many years ago.

Woodland Brewery told us they weren't sure how the first few days were going to go or how the initial public response would be. However, officials say that after a very successful first couple of weeks, they are happy to have named Boonville's Historic Hulbert House to be their second taproom.

The Hulbert House closed its doors down in 2016 and since has become an apartment complex upstairs after known furniture salesman Carl Vogel purchased the property in 2019. 

Woodland Farm Brewery is based in Marcy, NY. They offer up a variety of craft beers, ciders, cocktails, New York State wines and more.
