Making a difference this Earth Month
We consider it a privilege to contribute to every community we serve, and we work all year round to follow Green practices at our Brewery. We created Saranac Cares as a way to organize the two into community-building efforts, and this year we’d love your help.
To celebrate Earth Month in April, we’re asking you, our fans, to help us out and show our communities how much we care.
Our Green cause this year: gathering Saranac lovers and other community members together to clean up select areas of our cities. We all give a little of our time to the Earth, and then share some Saranac as a nice reward. What could be better?
We’ll have the Saranac cold and ready, and all we need is you.
We’re excited, and we hope you are too. Let us know if you’re interested by taking a minute to answer our brief survey. If you're in, we'll contact you with the details! Click here and find out how you can be a part.

New Year, New Beers!
This year's What Ales You? ™ is sure to cure your winter blues! With 6 different beers, you'll definitely find your favorite ale. Encores from last year include: Saranac Irish Red Ale, Saranac Pale Ale, Saranac India Pale Ale, and Saranac Brown Ale. Making a brand new appearance are two new beers: Saranac Irish Stout and Saranac Amber Ale! Available in 12 packs while supplies last! You've heard about Irish Stout, read up on our other new beer Amber Ale:
Saranac Amber Ale
What happens when you give a West Coast favorite an East Coast attitude? Saranac Amber Ale. The typical amber ale is a perfectly balanced beer, but we like our hops, so we've amped them up to challenge our Crystal and Toasted Malts to a throw-down. Look for a deep amber color, caramel sweetness and a full dose of fruity hop flavor that will entice you to come back for more!
Available only in Saranac What Ales You?™ 12 packs!
Saranac is bringing in the Irish!
It's that time of year again for the wildly popular Saranac Irish Red Ale! This time around it has a new partner, Saranac Irish Stout. You'll be feeling the luck of the Irish when you taste these delicious brews! Here's a little information on both beers:
Saranac Irish Red Ale 
Irish Reds get their deep garnet color from carefully selected batches of 2 row malts that are specially kilned to develop their sugars and then roasted to produce the wonderful, caramel and toffee notes that accompany the rich color. You'll find the complexity and drinkability of Saranac Irish Red Ale to be second to none.
Saranac Irish Stout
Deep within the heart of the Irish lies an uncanny passion for what they call "Leann Dubh", or Black Ale. Saranac Irish Stout is a lavish beer blended with dark malts to create a coffee like taste. Look for a roasted character that is surprisingly smooth and refreshing, pint after pint.
Get them quick, they're only made once until they last! Both are available in 6 packs and draught. Slainte!
