We enjoyed the tour. It wasn't overly long (some breweries can bore you to death with details) but hit all the main points, and there is a tasting afterwards. They also give a free beer glass with every tour that sells for more than the tour itself cost. I will go again!

Stopped by on a Saturday with my wife and were greeted by relaxed and friendly employees. For $5 we got 5 tokens, each good for a sample of a Dominion or Fordham beer on tap. Arrive early enough to discuss and enjoy the beer. The tour is not very long but provides a bit of history about the brewery and... More

We went on a Wednesday and got the $5.00 special! It included 5 samples, a pint glass and of course the tour. The staff was friendly and laid back. We enjoyed every beer we tried. That is not always the case. They sell ginger ale and root beer at the brewery. But are not allowed to sell beer. They will... More

It's a working brewery offering tours on Saturday afternoon. Maybe you'll get a sample or buy the lastest or seasonal brew. Enjoy!

They had great beer overall, above average on a craft beer level. We had a $5 for 2 deal, but $10 for 2 would have still been a pretty good deal. Nice facility.. the tour was good, but could have been a little more in-depth and informative.

As a homebrewer, I'm always interested to see the inner workings of a craft brewery (if nothing else, it keeps me dreaming about opening my own some day.) Fordham's facility is scaled small enough that you can really get a sense of the entire operation works without being overwhelmed by the equipment. Our tour guide was both knowledgable and friendly... More

Went to the tour with my husband, father, and sister-in-law. We had such great time. The two that did the tour and tasting were fabulous. They were both fairly new to the company but were very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. And the beers are all really good as well. I highly recommend a stop here!
