Around the Mountain by LJ James - Old Factory Brewing Company In Cairo

CAIRO — There are so many great places to eat in our area, but when it comes to wings in the town of Cairo, I really enjoy the ones at "Old Factory Brewing Company". The place has been there since 2020, but one of my other favorite bars/restaurants is also in Cairo. So it took a friend of mine telling me about their food and specials to get me to stop by.

I have been getting their BBQ wings and enjoying their brewed-on-premise "Brilliant Blonde" beer on Sundays, with my mother and stepfather, for the past 2 years now. I have also stopped in on Wednesdays for their burger nights, which I was really happy with as well. On Thursdays they also have a Taco Night, which I have heard is awesome, but I have not made it to yet.

Now I know I have mentioned how I lived on Long Island most of my life in other articles, but from the age of 15 to 18, I lived in the town of Brockport between Rochester and Buffalo. (And still return to the area often.) That area takes their chicken wings very seriously, and I have eaten some of the greatest wings ever made in my time. So when I say Old Factory Brewing Company has some really great wings, I hope you take my opinion seriously.

The first time I went there, I got to meet the very cool and friendly owners, Tim Cornelison, Jr. and Sr, a father and son team who work hand in hand with their staff. They not only make great food but also brew some truly awesome beers that they sell on-site.

They also can and bottle their brews and are selling them all over.

Now I haven't tried all of their beers "yet," but I have tried a few. Now just to be clear, I am not a big microbrewery expert type of guy. But I know what I like, and their "Brilliant Blonde" is probably the first microbrew I can honestly say that I love! It reminds me of a smooth Coors Light, but packed with a lot of flavor!

Like I said before, I spent most of my life on Long Island, an area where you can get a great meal all over at pretty much any time of the day or night. So having another place in Greene County, just a few miles from where I live, with a friendly staff and great food and drinks, just makes me love living here that much more.

If you haven't yet been to Old Factory Brewing Company at 628 Main St. in Cairo, NY. I recommend giving them a try. I am not saying they have the best wings in Greene County, but if you go and try their wings and think you know of a place that makes better wings in Greene County, we want to know about them!

Check out Old Factory Brewing Company's website for more info at oldfactorybrewing.com and tell them you heard about them here in the Mountain Eagle. If you go on a Sunday afternoon, there is a really good chance I will see you there. Till then, I will see you around the mountain. -LJ James
