Shep's Brewing Company is a nano-microbrewery on Genesee Street in downtown Auburn specializing in ales, stouts, IPAs and double IPAs, plus wine and cider, all handmade on site. Flights, glasses, growlers and a mug club fill a warm, happy room, and live music plays nearly every weekend, from blues-rock Fridays to Saturday night karaoke and holiday-eve rock parties. For craft beer in the heart of Cayuga County's biggest city, Shep's is Auburn's fresh-from-the-tanks answer.
