Mortalis Brewing Company runs a small taproom in Avon that has earned an outsized national reputation for its experimental sours and stouts. The brewery routinely ranks among the top-rated in New York State on Untapped, and special releases draw travelers from across the Northeast. The space is tight indoors with additional outdoor seating in warmer months. The sour program, built around smoothie-style fruited sours, is what regulars name first. Food offerings are simple and intended to complement the beer. Cash and card accepted. Don't miss: a flight of fruited sours and whatever limited stout is on tap. Go on a weekday to avoid release-day crowds.
