The outside of the building will be different from anything else in Warrensburg; inside, it will be industrial with a touch of the Adirondacks.
That is how Adam Langworthy, co-owner of Bandstand Brew Works, under construction at 3922 Main Street and scheduled to open this summer, describes the brewpub.
The building incorporates an 1855 barn with new construction. The finished structure will be able to seat 250 people, inside and outside.
Langworthy and his cousin and business partner, Darby Langworthy, have been home brewers, producing about five gallons at a time. To produce volumes “way beyond that,” he expects the process to be largely the same. Plans are for a variety of beers—“something for everyone”—including IPA’s, stouts, and a sour beer. For non-beer drinkers there will be a homemade hard seltzer. Customers sitting in the tap room will have a window into the brewery.
Deane Moss is returning to the area from Connecticut as the chef. Langworthy promises “classic pub-style favorites” and specials every week. “He is a very experienced chef and fits well with our team,” Langworthy said.
The team includes Adam’s wife, Brooke, and Darby’s wife, Laurie. Brooke is an interior designer and did much of the design work on the brew works building. Laurie, who owns and directs Camp Echo Lake, manages the social media accounts for the business.
Both partners are new to the restaurant business. Adam teaches in the Warrensburg school system but claims some background. His family owned a restaurant when he was a young boy. Darby is a businessman. Both, however, have been certified as brewmasters through Cornell University.
Bandstand Brew Works will be one of at least three new restaurants coming to Warrnsburg’s Main Street this summer. Others include recently opened The Guac Box, a Mexican restaurant at 3915 Main Street, and Mark’s Hometown’cue at 3951 Main Street planning for a summer opening.
