Small but it has a fun atmosphere. Decent beers and Nintendo 64 available to play. Bar tender was great and very friendly.

Tried to visit here and got super confused. No tables, no place to sit. Music group was setting up, and saw no evidence they made pizza. What's the secret? That to come here and have pizza and beer can only be done on specific nights? If you can't on Saturday, when can one have a meal here?

Delightful local brewery in Troy, Ny.

The beers are spot on and the staff are great.
You can drink there or grab some to go but no matter you are getting some good beers to enjoy.

They were pup friendly when we visited and even had a fun side hall with retro games. Check out their calendar for special events.

Hey, any chance you could pay your two malt bills that are well over a year old?

Great beer, great bartenders. My friends and I always feel welcome here.

The beer was great, including some facts about the brewery itself. However, the white male next to me was given a free drink token on my birthday. When I inquired, the bartender said “no”. Hopefully this place receives some training on cultural competence in 2024. It seems like white men are given preferential treatment. I would keep up with the late 1900s trend of integration.

Great brewery! Real good beers and really good staff! Had a great time with some old friends from out of town. They enjoyed it so much they even bought some beer to go with them. 10/10 recommend!

I've already had an eventful week. So tonight I'm taking it easy. After some reflection I settled on Rare Form Brewing Company, for my Friday evening nightcap. Chris, my brewer, recommended the Double Moxie when I asked for the boldest hop, and while I'm no stranger to hyperbole, I got the feeling that we both know that Double Moxie is no hyperbolic hyperbole. It's 8% perfection! The rich honey citrus flavor, completely coats my tongue and leaves me with a decidedly sweet aftertaste, which surprisingly, I love. The difference is that I feel like Chris and I are cohorts... There's no hiding behind tolerance-ambiguity at Rare Form. The intention is clear: Drink 'mo craft beer then stumble into an Uber immediately after your last pint. #EXCEPTIONAL

Great little spot in downtown Troy. Cozy front room, some little retro video game books along a side wall, and it looked like some more seating in the back behind the vats. Tuesday you can bring your own vinyl and they'll play a side. Fun joint, nice beer selection, reasonable prices

This is a nice intimate place to hang out. I went on a Wednesday night for a Bonsai Bar (highly recommend). The pizzas you order are handmade right after ordering, right in front of you and placed in a small wood fire stove. They also had chili in a pot going. I'm not a beer lover, but I did enjoy the Confetti beer.
