16 Best Craft Breweries near Albany

“Amazing!! A must visit spot!“

“Come for the hard cider, food and drag shows, stay for the hard cider, food and drag shows. Love nine pin!!

Parking: There is parking but it’s not the best, depending on the time of day there is no parking, other times you just have to come back another day/time or wait for someone to leave. Needs improvement. Available parking is on street and a small lot of spaces on the side of the building, these aren’t the most accommodating for SUVs or large vehicles.

Kid-friendliness: This is a bar/tasting room, with food. Not a restaurant that happens to serve alcohol, people come here expecting not to be around kids, so leave kids with the sitter or go to Applebees.“

“Great spot and awesome staff!!“

“Amazing! Good and drinks! Quality at reasonable prices. Highly recommended“

“Has such good vibes. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Dog friendly and great beer and seltzer selection. Also a great place for private party’s or even just a quick get together with friends. My favorite is the blackberry gose and any of the hard infusions! I had to take some seltzers home for everyone to try. They were gone quick!“

“This place is great. Excellent food and great service. Not over priced but not cheap. They really did a great job with eat in the street. Too bad Cohoes limited that so much because it was a great thing for Cohoes restaurants. Definitely my go to on Remsen St.“

“Solid beers, and friendly personable brewers who do it all behind the scenes. Support this place a hidden gem.“

“Friendly people. Usually hit up with Roger at the bar but tonight it was Dom along with a very nice couple from Poughkeepsie. Road trip it is to the culinary paradise nearby. So, yes, atmosphere and bar is very friendly. And the beer is good too.“

“Yesfolk is so good and a bonus of the Kombucha is that it is super helpful for people that want to live a sober lifestyle. Settling down with a kombucha is so much better than a beer or cocktail for me. I'm hooked on Yesfolk Kombucha!“

“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.“

“Enjoyed the Troy Pub Ale. It was a good example of the older American IPA style (i.e. no crazy monkey hops or haze, not that there's anything wrong with that).

I had the Salmon BLT, which was great. Salmon was a little overcooked, but entirely serviceable and delicious despite.

We showed up as a 20-top. Service was top notch, especially for our large group.“

“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“
