“Really good beer! A great find! Atmosphere is laid back, lots of seating inside and outside. The guy at the counter is very serious and could use some humor or more of a welcoming attitude but maybe it’s bec I’m visiting from the south. Either way I loved having their beer! And they don’t charge you for stickers which I always appreciate!“
“As the birthplace of Abner Doubleday it has a great backstory, right off the bat (pun intended). I think the beer is great and you can't beat the unique atmosphere. And, although I've only been there a handful of times, the owner remembered my name on my last visit which is impressive! I enjoy it whenever I have a chance to go, wish I was able to go more often. And once the ghost turned the overhead light off for us the moment we stood up to leave, so the living and the undead are all very accommodating.“

“I really like the ambiance of Active Ingredient, I can't wait till it's warmer to try their patio area. All of the bartenders were very nice. They had excellent beers, along with some wine and cocktails for the non-beer drinkers. My husband loved their Amber, and I loved their Freudian Sips, which was a honey Kolsch. Both of their sours had a nice taste as well as their Oryza, which is a Japanese Rice lager. The food was good as well. We got the pretzel as an appetizer, it was nice and buttery. I wish there was just a touch more seasoning . My husband got their Nashville hot chicken sandwich, he didn't offer to share so that speaks for itself. I got their special burger which was a Mac and cheese burger. We both would definitely come again.“
“Solid brewery with some interesting pours. Tried the what's up doc sour and the hazy ipa and both were great. The broccoli cheddar soup and kimchi brussels sprouts were hearty and full of flavor. Will definitely be coming back next time we are in Saratoga “
