Empire Brewing Company was a Syracuse, New York-based microbrewery and restaurant founded by owner, David Katleski, in 1994. [1] The company was known for their craft brews and their locally sourced, seasonal food menus. [2] In 2013, Empire Brewing Company was featured on an episode of Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. [3] Empire's beers won nine medals at the Great American Beer Festival and two World Beer Cups. [4]

In 2013, Katleski was awarded the F.X. Matt Defender of the Industry Award at the Craft Brewers Conference for his work supporting the interests of New York's craft brewers. [5]

In 2016 Empire constructed a new brewing and packaging facility in Cazenovia, New York. [6] The farm brewery sits on 22 acres of farmland which has been cultivated for barley, hops and other brewing ingredients. [7] In August 2019, the Empire Farm Brewery filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after facing more than $10,000,000 in debts. Both the Empire Farm Brewery as well as the Walton Street location have since closed.
