Brewpubs near Saranac Lake

“Visited with my lady after doing some hiking earlier in the day. I was weighing area dinner options until I started reading the menu. I was immediately interested in the Thai Maple chicken wings. Followed by Fried Pickles with Sriracha ranch. Ok now we're 2/2. Brussels? Not usually a fan. But the menu description made it worth a shot. Finally, we saw the Whipped Feta app and decided this was the place. We don't need to look at entrees, it's apps for dinner tonight. Well, we should probably get a salad to make it a healthy mealThe wings come in orders of 6 or 12. They were big and juicy. The Thai Maple was well balanced, not too sweet. The Pickles were tasty. Get in there with your hands, get some of that arugula and pickled onion together with the pickle and dip it all in the Sriracha ranch. The Brussels were flavorful and crispy, I would order them again. The whipped Feta app is served hot and the first bite, with honey and pistachio, was divine. Star of the show.I'm not usually a porter guy, but the maple cream porter was delicious and would have been worth a second glass if I was staying longer.By the time we made it through the apps, the salad was an afterthought and we took most of it to go.Atmosphere was quiet and dim, with some overhead music that wasn't over the top loud. Exactly what we were looking for. I think calling it elevated bar food sells it short, but if you're looking for menu items with character and a chill vibe, this is a great spot. 4 apps, Chix Caesar Salad, and 3 beers cost around $90. You can certainly get out of there for cheaper, but we wanted to try a variety of things“

“For a micro brewery so small, this place fits SO many people inside and the service is fantastic! I had the IPA Mac and cheese and OMG is it to die for! Delicious is an understatement! It is served in a giant tortilla shell, and I mean GIANT. I had never been so I ordered the large mac and cheese opposed to the small, and now I know that I have to order the small! 10/10 recommend!“

“Really good place. Accommodated a large group. Both manager and assistant manager were really great with whom to work while setting up accommodations. Tried a beer sampler and requested a choice of the most popular samples. They were all extremely good despite some being a little different from what I usually like. The wings were outstanding and the turkey sandwich was unbelievable. Our whole group really enjoyed the experience and spoke highly of both drinks and food. Great job guys! Can’t wait to be back.“
