OSWEGO — Like the Junco, a popular snowbird in central New York, brewer Rick Fernandes has found his “happy place” in Oswego County.
Fernandes, a U.S. Navy veteran and a world traveler, owns and operates Junco Brewing Company. The rustic barn-turned taproom located at 37 Cemetery Road in the town of Oswego is home to the only established brewery in the county, serving classic craft beer staples such as Belgian ales, pilsners, pale ales, porters, and IPAs.
