Upstate NY thread

[cosmicevan]

Just gonna go on record to say anything east/south of Albany is not Upstate.


Signed-

Upstate NY

....but the bronx though.

A Hudson valley thread? In my head I lump all those newish breweries in the Hudson valley area.

That's what I was thinking but I didn't see one. RD is the only one I've been to in that area anyway.

 

[Oldladyfingers]

Hudson Valley folk-
The Singlecut crew will be tapping 日本から来たネコ (some cat from japan): the kitten version of Weird & Gilly, along with some other dope-ass beers at Draught on Friday. I'm sure many cans and bottles will be poured, too.

Finally made it out to Industrial Arts, very cool building and facility. That complex is large, would be fun to see some of the artist studios during a future visit.
Enjoyed Zesty Enterprise, a refreshing saison made with rose hip, etc & the new State of The Art NE PA, very crushable.
Also, made a quick pit stop at District 96 in New City. They are putting out some quality brew and the owner seems passionate about this new venture; he owns The Burger Loft next door, which has a solid tap list.

Sorry I missed you today. Love the facility for IA, they actually have a larger area across the way. You can see some of the lines running above the entrance. I haven't even had a mediocre beer from them yet.

District 96 is a 5 minute walk from my house. I haven't visited yet because the beers I had at the burger loft weren't great, but I figured they are dialing in the recipes. Their head brewer was the assistant at Nebco before he took this job. The owner is very passionate about what he does.

Also not really upstate, but we don't have a thread.

Chase. I can't remember how long he was at NEBCO.

Hey Everyone, coming back home to spend some time up at THE GREAT sacandaga reservoir over labor day weekend. Taking thursday 8/31 to check out some breweries, beer bars. Was gonna head down to hudson to check out sloop, just saw suarez is closed on thursdays, any other recommendations in that area? As far as upstate goes did bier abbey in schenectady finally close? Any new recommendations for Albany, Troy , Schenectady or more North would be welcome as well. If anybody wants to meet up for a beer i'll be bringing some beers from colorado in tow.
Thanks!

 

[Thevicster]

When did that happen?

 

[Thevicster]

When did that happen?

June, bad fire suppression system.

Look, I like the place but as far as this goes if you've been there it's a fire trap. And a fire trap with bad fire suppression is a tragedy waiting to happen

I've been there a few time. I'm kinda buddies with the owner but don't see him often, so I was wondering.

 

[Thevicster]

Technically not upstate, but still.

Don't know if I'm intrigued or.disgusted by a sour ipa with milk sugar raspberries and vanilla.....

2017 the year of "Will it ferment?"

 

[Thevicster]

scramin85 , also an oldie but a goodie...farms been there forever, but only recently started started their hard cider and brewing their own beer. Definitely worth the trip, especially if you like cider, their doing some Tetris barrel aged stuff

Thinking of hitting a place on my way back from Vermont in a couple weeks. Which would one recommend out of Suarez, Hudson valley, industrial arts, rushing duck, or other? Would like to hang for a few beers not just grab and go if that helps your recommendation at all, appreciate it yall

That's going to depend on where you're headed. Are you driving down 87 from Albany or north? Then Suarez and Sloop to start, but Suarez is significantly further north than the others you listed. If you're headed south on 91 through Vermont, mass and Ct, Suarez is out of the way I believe

Probably going to be heading down 87 through from Albany towards PA. Looking at the route they all seem to be "close" to it and not too far out of the way.

Have heard nothing but good things about Angry Orchard's place in Walden. Not exactly beer, but seems like a pretty cool spot to hang out.

 

[Oldladyfingers]

While the current list has some duds, Copperfield's in Montgomery generally has a good (and pretty cheap) draft list if you're heading out that way + need a quick bite.

Was unaware this place was opening, pretty close to work.

Think I'll stop by tonight

Who is thirsty Albany? Here is our tap list for opening day!

1-Fort Orange IPA – 6.7% ABV – Flights Only

A New England Style India Pale Ale, the way the Dutch would have brewed it today. Light in color with enough malt to allow the hops to come through without being astringent. Juicy with just the right amount of bitterness and floral, with hints of citrus and pine.

2-The Local Stout – 6.7% ABV – Flights Only

A stout that lives up to the name stout. Roasted with hints of chocolate and a pleasant spicy sweetness of rye is held up with British hops to give you a smooth hop aroma as well as a bit of American hop to provide bitterness.

3-Goldie – 4.7% ABV – Flights Only

A twist on a Belgian Golden Ale. Light in color with slight clove and some spiciness. A sweetness from the grain and hops will balance out the Belgian backbone. A late hop addition will introduce some floral and citrus in the nose.

4-Nipper IPA – 6.7% ABV

An India Pale Ale that is refreshing any time of year with a light malt profile. Lively, refreshing with tons of tropical fruit in the nose and palate. Just enough bite to dance well with the light malts.

5-Whistle Stopper Red – 6.0% ABV

A solid backbone of malt with a hint of caramel and a bit of spice from the rye is presented by American hops to make this red more aggressive than a traditional Irish red. Bold easy drinker.

6-Mo-Mentum Pale Ale– 5.4% ABV

Earthy fruit such as blueberry, tangerine and papaya come to the nose. A slight sweet malt profile balances with the mosaic hop to create a refreshing beer that can be enjoyed year round

Any good?

 

[Thevicster]

This is strange but ok.

 

[BadJustin]

They’ve made a killing doing those.

 

[Wagon Circler]

They did one here with a full tap takeover and it was, as expected, out of ****ing control.
