The Ultimate Buddies' Guide to Cooperstown
Sports. Golf. Craft Beverages. Fishing. If these are a few of your favorite things, text your friends and slot Cooperstown in as your next road trip. It's true that Cooperstown, New York, is off the beaten path. But that’s what makes it a classic destination for a getaway with your buddies. If you're a sports fan, the Hall of Fame is already a bucket-list destination. But, baseball is not the only game in town for those looking to spend a weekend with their friends. There are plenty of other things to see and do.
Craft Beverages
The Otesaga isn't the only luxury accommodation in the area. The Inn at Cooperstown has an awesome "Bed and Brew" package that serves as the perfect introduction to Brewery Ommegang. There, you can tour, eat and even catch a show during the brewery’s Summer Concert Series. Brewery Ommegang is just one of eight stops on the Cooperstown Beverage Trail. Hit the road and drop by all the breweries, wineries and even a hard cidery stretched out over 37 miles – with a designated driver, of course! If you'd prefer to stay in the village while sampling the local offerings, the Cooperstown Beverage Exchange on Main Street carries many local favorites, including the baseball-themed (and very uniquely packaged) spirits from Cooperstown Distillery. Did we mention Cooperstown is in the heart of Brew Central? You'll be surrounded by side trip-worthy producers in America's Craft Brew Destination.
