Root beer here! Get your root beer!
This week kicks off the 2010 New York State Fair held in Syracuse, NY. Every summer thousands of people visit the fairgrounds each day to enjoy awesome food, entertainment, rides and more. This year, we decided to join the fun and offer $1 soft drinks at our Saranac booth located in the Horticultural Building! Also located in this building are $1 baked potatoes. Grab one and wash it down with a $1 Saranac Root Beer, Diet Root Beer, Orange Cream or Shirley Temple. Our Brewery Shop will be selling lots of Utica Club and Saranac merchandise and sampling beer from 3-4PM and 6-7PM every day! Find more Saranac and support your local Brewery while visiting other vendors at the fair. We hope you'll stop by and Drink With Us. If you haven't tried our root beer yet, here's what the Soda Jerks had to say about it (Thanks, Soda Jerks for the kind words and the very entertaining review. Cheers!)
Brews for Broads, we like you
Cheers to Brews for Broads for an awesome review of Saranac Pomegranate Wheat. According to its author, Brews for Broads was created "because I’m tired of hearing women say they don't like beer." We couldn't agree more. Check out JO's full review on her blog. And JO, if you ever decide to take your road trip, stop by and Drink With Us. We'd love to show you around and have a brew (or two)!
Here's an excerpt:
When we stopped by Earthfare last weekend, we fully intended on purchasing a TN beer. I spotted the Saranac summer 12 pack, and we decided we could at least find something we both enjoyed with the variety of beers included. Saranac Brewery is located in Utica, NY and seems to be a pretty dang awesome place from their website with their Summer Concert Series (Umphrey’s McGee and STS9!), tons of beer varieties, sodas, and the poster for their Oktoberfest event says “It’s a Sausage Party.” My knowledge of Utica goes as far as The Office episodes. I might need to do a little more research on vacationing there now… And only an hour between Cooperstown and Utica. Road trip! Read the full post...
Sausage anyone?
Save the date for "The Session: Oktoberfest (It's a Sausage Party)"
On Friday, September 10, 2010, we'll be hosting the second "Session" event. For those of you who attended “The Session: A Saranac Beer and Food Pairing Experience” back in May, you know our "Session" events are a little different from most events at the Brewery: we focus on craft beers and the perfect food to pair with each. Join us this September for "The Session: Oktoberfest (It's a Sausage Party)" to celebrate locally brewed craft beer (featuring our fall seasonals, Pumpkin Ale and Octoberfest), and lots of authentic German sausage. There is no better combination. Get your tickets at the Brewery Shop or on online now. Check our events page often and "Like" us on Facebook to be among the first to know what Brewery events are going on.
Two more weeks of great Saranac music!
After two great events, our Summer Concert Series continues: Night Ranger will be here Friday, August 13, 2010, and we’ll host STS9 on Wednesday, August 18, 2010. Don't miss these phenomenal shows on the Saranac Summer Concert Series Stage. Check their links below to listen to some of their music and warm up for the shows (try it with a Saranac in hand to get the full effect). Then get your tickets online or at The Brewery Shop, and get ready to Drink With Us (and hundreds of our friends).
We’ll see you there. Cheers!
