Behling Family’s 6 Acres Farm Brewery Opens Mexico Taproom May 10

Floral and citrus hops in Sunflower Haze are front-and-center on the menu as 6 Acres Farm Brewery, operated by the Behling family of Behling Orchards, opened its Mexico, New York taproom and event space for the season on May 10, 2025. The brewery’s own site proclaims, “Our taproom is officially open for the season May 10th ‘25!”

Contact information on the brewery website lists a Fort Leazier Road street address and phone number, 412 Fort Leazier Rd, Mexico, NY 13114 and (315) 806-2942, but local coverage profiles the taproom and event space at 393 Fort Leazier Road. Oswego County Today is cited as documenting a ribbon cutting for the space; the two street numbers appear in the available records and are not reconciled in the public materials.

6 Acres bills itself as a New York State licensed farm brewery that began operations “Since 2019” and emphasizes a farm-to-taproom practice. The site copy spells out the approach plainly: “We harvest and brew craft beer, but we’re not your typical brewery. Inspired by the bountiful fruit grown on our farm, we infuse our own fresh produce along with supporting other local farms and businesses.” The brewery also states, “We take pride in using all New York State hops, grain, fruit, maple syrup, honey, etc. in each one of our brews!”

The taproom pours a compact slate of house beers with technical specs listed on the site. A Time for Greatness, labeled an Imperial IPA, is listed at 8.2% ABV and 75 IBU; Sunflower Haze, an American IPA, is listed at 5.4% ABV and 58 IBU; and Rae of Sunshine, a Blonde Ale, is listed at 5.7% ABV and 19 IBU. Site copy ties Sunflower Haze to a festival motif: “This IPA is featuring the ultimate music festival in history. In 1969, Woodstock rocked a dairy farm in Upstate New York for a 3-day festival of love, peace, and music. This IPA has the perfect amount of haze with floral and citrus hops, taking you on a journey through time.”

The site also highlights customer feedback, reprinting an Untappd review of Sunflower Haze: “Old school ipa that provides a hoppy bitterness through and through! nicely done.”

Regionally, tourism listings frame 6 Acres within a robust Syracuse and Central New York craft-beer scene. Visitsyracuse notes that “the craft beer scene in Syracuse is alive and thriving,” and points to neighbors such as Middle Ages Brewing Company, which can run up to 24 unique beers on tap, and Talking Cursive Brewing Company, among others, as part of the broader itinerary for beer visitors to the region.

For now, the brewery’s public presence remains anchored on its own website, which lists the 412 Fort Leazier Rd contact block, the seasonal opening date, and the “Since 2019” founding line, while local coverage documents a ribbon cutting at a 393 Fort Leazier Road address. The phone listed on the site is (315) 806-2942 for inquiries about hours, events, and taproom bookings.
