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.

James and Pat aredoing amazing job of craft brewing and the product is amazing! Both scholars of beer production and very pleasant people to hang out with. So when you’re in Troy pop by for a taste of excellence!

The day I was here I had visited a few other local breweries. This one was the smallest in terms of size and beers offered, but it was also the most casual, and most friendly in terms of ambiance. They had more beers of interest to me here than at the others I visited today. This was, for me, the perfect brewery at which to wind down for the day.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLACES IN THE CAPITAL REGION! Great beers. Great atmosphere. Great people. Nintendo64. An absolute gem.

This spot is known for good beer, a stellar friendly staff, and so many fun ways to share your time with friends while visiting (coloring, old school video gaming, andlive music - oh my!) We loved visiting the outdoor patio space for drinking while rocking to live music, with easy access to food truck parking. The beer list contains a nice variety of styles which met the variety of tastebuds in our group. Also love that this place features rotating guest taps, wine, cider, canned cocktails and kombucha, too. So many local brands are featured and promoted in this spot. Visiting Rare Form again is for sure on the 2023 Summer Goals list - I've heard good things about their pizza and I think we need to test the "what goes better with good beer?" theory v. soon.
Rare Form always has eccentric, smooth beers, their customer service is impeccable and the outdoor concerts are so fun. Excellent place

Great little spot with friendly staff and a chill cube. Beer was great!

Great brews and a fun staff! They put on some pretty good shows and events free to the public. Their non-beer selection has improved a lot, too. Overall it's a chill vibe and definitely worth checking out!

Rare Form continues to blast extremely loud music despite the proximity to living complexes AND many requests to turn it down. Extremely inconsiderate to residents on or around 4th St, often blasting music as late as 9-10 pm twice a week.

Unique beers in an old hardware store, cool.
