War Horse Brewing occupies the restored stone stables of the Belhurst Castle estate on Seneca Lake in Geneva. The building itself is worth a visit—vaulted stone ceilings, heavy timber, and the kind of atmosphere that most brewpubs try and fail to manufacture. The brewery is part of the Belhurst hospitality operation, which includes the castle hotel and multiple restaurants, giving it a more polished feel than the typical Finger Lakes taproom.

The beer program is solid and varied, with IPAs, stouts, lagers, and seasonal specialties on tap. The food menu is pub-oriented but a cut above average, with burgers, flatbreads, and shareable plates. Lake views from the outdoor seating area add to the appeal. War Horse is not a boundary-pushing craft operation—it is a well-executed, comfortable brewery experience in a genuinely impressive setting. A natural stop for visitors already in Geneva for wine tasting who want to shift gears.
