“Delightful local brewery in Troy, Ny.

The beers are spot on and the staff are great.
You can drink there or grab some to go but no matter you are getting some good beers to enjoy.

They were pup friendly when we visited and even had a fun side hall with retro games. Check out their calendar for special events.“

“A really pleasant night out. Good people, great conversation.“

“Place was dead when it first opened at 12 on a Saturday, but I can imagine that it gets quite lively later in the day/night. There was a good variety of beers. Personally, I'm a sour girlie and appreciate any Gose or Sour beer that I can find so I was pleasantly surprised that there were actually 2 on the menu for me to try. Friendly staff, too, and some entertainment on the TV. You can bring your own food. Parking was a bit of a hassle, but maybe there's some spot nearby we didn't know of that would have been better than street parking“
