Loved the beer, the environment and the great sound system with vinyl in the air. Friendly behind counter and generous with advise!

Low key, great beer, brought my 2 kids here so momma could nurse and have a drink after the farmers market. Music was excellent and sonic character of the space was NOT insanely boomy. Will definitely be back for both sensory perks, excellent vibe and quality beer.

I love this spot!!! Great for coming to play board games because they have massive tables and plenty of games to pick from. The prices are reasonable and the beer is delicious (van curler kolsch specifically was delicious and easy drinking). I will be back! They also have tons of events each month Dog friendly too

Really enjoyed everything about my visit to Great Flats - the beer was excellent, the vibe was great, and the bartender (shoutout Victoria) was so friendly and nice to have a conversation with despite being busy. My favorite beer was the Capital Common, but all of the beers I tried were good, even my usual least favorite hazy IPA was well done. Definitely my favorite brewery visited in Schenectady…hope to see their beers for sale in NYC someday!

Stupendous array of widely different brews. Fruity, hoppy, not hoppy, cider, applesauce. Well. No. Not applesauce, but every other kind of beer you might like. It's a brewery, so you are not going to find food unless you bring it or snatch it from next door, but that's true for breweries in the state. I like it for events. Bring in a steam table and invite 50 people and you will be happy. Do you have 50 friends? If not, feel free to invite me.

Ask for Ed. The Beer genius. He knows about beers and local breweries. They're very generous about recommending other establishments. The beers are flavorful and a wide variety of styles.

This is a really cool spot. It's set up so that groups of just about any size can all sit together. You've got a variety of beers on tap with several sized pours available, as well as reasonably priced flights. One gluten-free friend at our table was also very satisfied with her sangria. The staff are friendly, and they can handle a line quickly. We unfortunately didn't notice it until we were on our way out, but there's also a selection of board games in the back, should you wish to stay a while (I certainly will when I visit here).

They make quality brews and i love a good NEIPA but thankfully they are not all IPAs because there are other great beers nicely done.

Definitely some great brews here. Jason was a great bartender. I can't wait to come back again.

Came here on a Friday evening for some beers with friends. I was pleasantly surprised to discover 3 dark beers on tap despite the fact that it is summer! Each beer had something good to offer but their Midnight Patchy Fog was so good I took home a growler. They have garage doors which open, creating an open air atmosphere for folks like me who are timid to venture out post-covid. A great time was had by all and I look forward to returning. On my way out I spied a collection of board games too which I look forward to playing over a beer sometime soon.
