Hi everyone and welcome to craftbarr.com! I’m Heather, a twenty-something living in the Hudson Valley region. Over the years I’ve developed a love for wine, craft beer, and the culture behind it. This love has turned into a passion and it’s my dream to create a small craft bar where people can feel at home, socialize, and learn more about local beer and wine. I don’t quite have the funds for this dream yet, but I’m slowly starting to build the idea and research the process.
This past October I created @craftbarr on Instagram and it’s been so fun sharing the beers and wines I’ve discovered locally and while traveling. With the creation of this website, I hope to share more with you as I explore breweries and wineries. Here you can find information on places I’ve visited, my experiences as I learn more about the craft industry, and perhaps some interviews too.
If you ever have any questions, would like to suggest something, or just want to say hi please don’t hesitate to contact me. Thank you for the support and I look forward to sharing with you!
