5 Best Brewpubs near Ballston Spa

“You go in as a stranger and leave as a friend. Really nice people.“

“I don’t drink beer for the most part but I love Belgian beer. Usually I have to wait till I get to Belgium to enjoy the beer, but not anymore. The Belgian beer they have an offer is amazing! I never drink beer in the US, but couldn’t figure out which of the many choices I choose for lunch today. I had the trapped after tasting several that were one after the other, even better than the last. It was a hard choice that I tend to return to go through every other one of the beers on tap. I’m not an IPA person, but there were so many other choices! Food was spectacular and will definitely be back. Thanks so much for this great venue. They have bands and during the week specials and plenty of room to even rent out their space. Bravo!“

“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“

“Nice collection of beers and a great atmosphere. The outdoor seating area is excellent and makes for a relaxing experience, especially on a nice day. Food options are somewhat limited, but the overall vibe is enjoyable. A great place to unwind with friends and enjoy a few drinks.“
