Defiant Brewing Co.

Was in the area, decided to stop in. All the food was reheated, cornbread was so dry and cold that it was white in the middle. Potato salad was definitely a few days old, it tasted grainy. Dry rubbed wings & ribs weren’t fresh either, the pickles were probably the freshest item on the platter. Wouldn’t eat here again. The beertender was nice, swamped, place was pretty busy for a Sunday with only 2 staff members running around.

By far one of the best aesthetics we've witnessed at a local brewery. The train station next to this brewery added to our enjoyment for sure. The bartenders were very engaging and professionals in their trade. The beers were great and food good. We got a sampler and enjoyed the brisket, corn bread and wings the best. The ribs were very close to being done and would have been great with more time. We came early to beat the crowds and make sure we got parking. We were happy with the price tag at the end for all we ate and drank. Don't hesitate to try this place. It has many good features and looks as if it might be growing. We could see why!

This place is truly a treasure. As many breweries limited themselves to very few styles of beer, Defiant goes against the grain and offers many. All delicious. A recent visit on xmas eve had us trying stouts, Christmas ales, Oktoberfest, Belgium triple, and many more. While I enjoy all they have to offer in BBQ, their smoked wings stand out the most. They are simply the best wings I have ever had. I sound like a fan boy because I truly am. Located right across the Pearl River Train station makes a day trip to Defiant from NYC a no-brainer.

Stopped by Pearl River to try the brewery. Got the Christmas ale and it's good. It's a smokehouse so you get a delicious variety to choose from. There are even some vegetarian options to pick from. Parking is limited. It's right next to the Pearl River train station if you're willing take mass transit.
