Come "Raise the Dead"
Popular Grateful Dead tribute band Dark Star Orchestra is back for another year.
With an awesome light display and Grateful Dead-inspired tunes, DSO is always one of our favorite shows. What Grateful Dead set will they recreate this year? Or will it be an original? Buy some tickets and join us to find out. We'll have your favorite Saranac Beers on tap, and Saranac Soft Drinks will also be available. Hope to see you tomorrow night. Cheers!
Time flies..when you're enjoying your favorite beer!
Another Boilermaker 15K Road Race has come and gone, and many records fell, both on the course and at the after-party. 40,000 runners, family and friends, 250 kegs of Saranac Pomegranate Wheat and great music all added up to a great time. Thanks to all the volunteers, spectators, and of course runners, for making this the largest Boilermaker ever. We shot this time-lapse footage of the party from the Brewery’s roof (see if you can spot yourself in the crowd!) Remember to keep the party going all year long by enjoying Saranac in your hometown. Tell a friend how much fun you had at the Boilermaker, and bring them along next time. Cheers to another successful race. See you next year!
The Right Stuff: putting on the country's biggest 15K
The flags are up along the route and atop the finish line, and painted footprints line the roadways from start to finish—Boilermaker Week 2010 is underway. As the site of the official finish every year since its inception, we're looking forward to another great race this year and raising a glass to all the people who make it possible. Despite setting records for entries (more than 13,000 this year), and drawing tens of thousands of spectators, the Boilermaker Road Race runs smoothly year after year. So well, in fact, that runners the world over look forward to returning here to Central New York every July. It’s a testament to the more than 6,000 volunteers who make all the hard work look easy. Isn't it amazing that a race in Utica, NY has as many volunteers as the Boston and New York Marathons? We’re proud to join our city in the effort, and put on one of the best post-race parties in the world, with more than 250 kegs of cold, refreshing Saranac beer, music and more. If you see one of those hard-working volunteers in a Boilermaker Volunteer t-shirt, be sure to thank them for allowing us to host one of the best 15K races in the world, and feel free to offer them a cold Pomegranate Wheat as well.
Only Running For The Saranac
Whatever your reason is for running, spectating or volunteering, we like to think it's for the beer! Since its inception in 1978, we've been proud to sponsor the Boilermaker Road Race, the best 15K in the country. We believe community is one of the most important entities in owning a business. Supporting those around us is something we strive to do every day at the Brewery. The Boilermaker is an amazing display of how a community can come together to put on an event so special to everyone involved. We invite you to join us on race day; there is a place for everyone! Run and have fun, grab a spot on the course and start cheering, or lend a hand and volunteer. Most importantly, don't forget to enjoy a Saranac along the way. We'll be serving over 250 ice cold kegs of Pomegranate Wheat at the finish line on race day, July 11, 2010. Cheers to 32 years and the best 9.3 mile beer run around!
