“Great good and great beer!“

“Hubby and I were walking Saratoga and decided to stop in for lunch. He had a burger and loved it, with a great beer selection. I had nachos with smoked pulled chicken and bacon, be hungry. They were delicious, I took 1/2 home. Staff is friendly, upbeat vibe“

“Discovered Artisanal several years ago at a beer fest in Westchester County. My wife fell in love with their Raspberry Chocolate Lava Cake stout, so they were immediately added to our list of breweries to visit. Happy coincidence that they're located in a town we visit at least once a year. So they've become a regular stop each time we're up that way. While they don't brew the Lava Cake often enough, they do make some other very good beers. They do serve food, but we've yet to eat there. Inside is a bit small but they do have an outdoor beer garden as well. Live music by local musicians is also a highlight. Friendly, knowledgeable staff will help you choose a beer in a style you prefer. We love to support small, local breweries and this one is amongst our favorites.“

“Treehouse in Saratoga is a vibe!! It’s huge but cozy at the same time. Tons of indoor and outdoor seating. There’s retail sections upfront and separate counters for the bar, pizza and can pick up.

We got the pepperoni pizza, two cold brews and raspberry seltzer. Friends have raved about their pizza and they were absolutely right. It’s crispy, loaded with toppings and the Parmesan cheese they put on the top gives it a nice elevation.“

“Best Egg Sandwich in town!“

“My husband and I were in town on a motorcycle trip this past weekend. Looked on the map for a place to grab a bite and I saw that Active Ingredient was within walking distance of our hotel. The food and drinks were great and the staff super friendly. Wide variety of beers, something for everyone. Love the decor inside. Will definitely come back next time we are in the area.“

“Great atmosphere and great beer“

“We were up visiting some friends who brought us here on our way to the airport. I was expecting decent food and beer. What we got was a very positive, spunky and great attitude from Ella our server. The food and beer both turned out great but we all loved Ella’s positivity and just all around pleasant attitude. Even if the food came out just ok you would have gotten five stars from me just because of her. People don’t talk or act like that anymore and it was a great experience!“
