I seek out microbreweries and am, more often than not, somewhat disappointed with the experience. Not so, at Naked Dove Brewing Company. Their brews are exceptional. I don't believe I've ever had cleaner tasting brews--no matter the style. Each style proudly bore the signature flavor of its particular style without the muddy taste often found in less well-crafted microbrews. My... More

I went to the Naked Dove with high expectations given the previous reviews. After waiting for over 10 minutes to be acknowledged for having entered the building I left with the onlything having been tried was my patience. Of the three staff members behind the bar, one was busy visiting with someone that she was going to see later tonight,... More

First of all, this is not a restaurant (yet). The menu here is all beer and it is all good. The place is normally packed with beer tasters form all over the area. The owner and his wife usually man the taps and tell some great stories while pouring a generous sample. For 4 bucks you get to taste 5... More

Best beer I can get that is made within 10 miles of my house. Glad to see that Canandaigua has a brewery that puts out amazing product. Loved the Hopulus Localus. The sampling was cheap to try them all and, although I wasn't planning on it, left with a growler. Can't wait to fill it again. Can't wait for expansions... More

A friend of ours cousin used to work for Naked Dove and we have been looking forward to this trip to the brewery for quite a while. When we arrived the tasting room wasn't crowded and were promptly welcomed and invited to the bar. You can tell the owners are dedicated to their craft. We were able to tour the... More

$3 for a tasting of 6-7 samplings...including the sampling glass! Can't be beat. Great place and the people that work there are so friendly!

Despite the fact that their website said they were closed on Tuesdays, we found them to be open. Loving to taste microbrews, we stopped. We were the only ones there, and while the server was pleasant, there was no information concerning the brews unless we specifically asked. This is not what our experience has been at other breweries. The beer... More

We were introduced to Naked Dove Brews by close friends of our who are beer connaiseurs. Naked Dove is a micro-brew located in Canandaigua. They make several beers and offer them for sale in growlers (or as my kids call them, JUGS). They do not bottle their beers yet so it seems you can only buy and/or refill your growlers... More

The sampling is fun. We pick up the scotch ale growlers. This is a nice place to stop.

I'll still occassionally go for a Guinness, but other than that, won't drink anything but Naked Dove (beer-wise at least). The go-to is the IPA. So if you live in or near Canandaigua, this is where you should get all your beer. Staff/owners are friendly and helpful. It doesn't look too interesting from outside, but you'll always be a little... More
