Active Ingredient Brewing Company - Malta (NY)

5 /5 Mike -: Great spot to stop and grab food and a drink. They have a nice patio for outdoor seating, good menu choices and the beer is great. The dining is a fast casual style that you either order inside at the bar or scan a QR code installed on one of the tables and they will bring your order to you and this style seemed to work well.

5 /5 Alexandra Golden: Very much enjoyed a first trip here. The beer was great and the space inside was nicer than I expected. They also have an area for darts. The service was good too they give you a number and bring the food items out to your table. What surprised me the most was the food! I had the shrimp tacos and they were better than some full service restaurants. Decently priced items as well. Cannot wait to return!

5 /5 Otto Isenberg: Stopped into this beautiful little brewery at the recommendation of family. It met all expectations! An extensive beer and drink list (both beers I tried were fantastic) paired with a wonderful food menu. The interior is uniquely designed to fit the science name as well. I 100% suggest stopping in for beer, food, or both.

5 /5 Jonathan Kubinski: Made a stop into my favorite brewery the other day and wanted to drop a review to show my gratitude for the product they make available day in and day out. When outside the area have I stopped at different breweries? Yes. Does it feel like cheating? Absolutely! AIBC is the gem that you want to wife up after 2 dates. I mean it when I say a visit there will put a twinkle in your eye. They have a consistent line up of brews that are sure to wet your whistle but dont just take my word for it they have the awards and medals to prove it. They got more bling than Mr. T. I love to start my visits by ordering up a new creation that inevitably also displays a new shiny medal. Clearly, Im not the only one who thinks their offerings are liquid gold. Next, I put an order in from the food menu to accompany my second glass. Their food is outstanding, filling, and second only to their beer. I could eat there everyday and twice on Tuesday and never get sick of their menu. Im terrible at darts but I would be comfortable throwing a dart at their menu and know without a doubt whatever comes to the table is going to put a smile on my mug. Speaking of darts they have 2 boards which I always take a turn on and have a blast playing despite my skill. Last, but certainly not least is the atmosphere they create. Several hours and several brews later it feels like I just walked through the door. From the science lab vibes of the establishment to the service from every single one of their staff, that place feels like home. Id swear the AIBC team could teach Vin Diesel a thing or two about what "Family" means. If all that isnt enough a Bonus round needs to be spent mentioning the yearly Octoberfest. Beer, Music, Food, Friends, and Fun games. Mark your Calander because I do. Havent missed one yet and I dont plan to. Thanks AIBC you the real MVP.

5 /5 Daulet Nurmanbetov: The beer was exceptional—fresh, flavorful, and a testament to the craftsmanship behind it. Our group sampled the smash burger, pulled BBQ burger, summer salad, and cheese curds. Each dish was delicious and satisfying, though a few in our party found the seasoning slightly on the salty side. While prices are on the higher end, the quality and portions make it worthwhile. A highlight of the visit was the unique ordering system—no waitstaff, just a barcode at the table that leads to their website for placing and paying for orders. This efficient setup made the experience feel modern and hassle-free, with quick service despite the hands-off approach. We stopped by at 6 PM on a Thursday during the holidays, and the space was comfortably uncrowded, allowing us to enjoy the ambiance without feeling rushed. The interior reflects the brewery’s science theme subtly yet effectively, adding a touch of character to the clean, organized environment. For anyone looking to enjoy expertly crafted beer, tasty food, and a contemporary dining experience, Active Ingredient Brewing Company delivers on all fronts. Highly recommended!
