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!
Drumroll Please...

Share a Saranac at the Utica Music & Arts Fest!
We're passionate about our beers, but we're also passionate about live music. We've had the pleasure of sharing the Saranac stage with great bands like Enter the Haggis, moe., Blues Traveler, and many more over this summer.
The grand finale is this weekend. It's the 2nd annual Utica Music and Arts Fest and we couldn't be more excited. There will be over 250 bands and artists from across the region that will decend upon Utica for a weekend of music, art, food and fun.
The heart of the event is right in the Brewery district, on Varick St. where you can check out all of the different venues, take a Brewery tour (at 1pm and 3pm on Saturday only), and enjoy some ice cold Saranac brews. There will be free transportation between venues and even free cab rides home throughout the weekend.
We're especially excited to welcome The Black Crowes and Truth & Salvage Co., to the Brewery this Friday, September 11th as part of our Summer Concert Series. There are still some tickets available which you can purchase at the door. The gates open at 6 pm and the show is at 7 pm. Join us and share a Saranac at the show and after at the Utica Music & Arts Fest.
If you want more information about all the events that are happening this weekend, here are some links to the venues, bands and the official site of the UMAF. We'll see you this weekend!
Saranac UnFiltered with Enter the Haggis
Enter the Haggis performed at the Brewery back in July. See what they had to say about Saranac and the Brewery. We couldn't have said it better ourselves. Thanks to ETH for a great show, glad you enjoyed your time here. Hope to have you back again real soon. View the full interview here.
Saranac UnFiltered with moe.
Our President, Fred Matt, sat down with Al Schnier and Rob Derhak of moe. before their Saranac concert, July 11th, 2009 at the New York State Fairgrounds. They talked about moe.down, the bands history growing up with Saranac beer, and the continuing friendship between the band and the Brewery. To view the whole interview on youtube, follow the links for part I and part II.
