Brewery Recognized for its Craft Brewing Heritage
Charlie Papazian,
well known and acclaimed Craft Beer Enthusiast, has declared The F.X.
Matt Brewery "a heritage brewery reinventing itself". According to
Charlie, there are only 12 breweries in the U.S. that have survived the
ups and downs of the ever changing and sometimes turbulent industry for
100 plus years. There are only 4 of these breweries who are still
family owned and operated. Our seemingly small but exceedingly large
Brewery, both in size and in contribution to craft breweries and
brewers everywhere, happens to be one of those four. This is a must
read article
touching on the nostalgia our Brewery has, and showing the significance
of our Company's rich history and the significance of our presence in
New York State. 
In a day where is important to support local products,
this article certainly displays why. Charlie
says "Utica, New York may seem a bit out of the way for east coast beer
enthusiasts, but there's no other brewery in America that reveals the
history and transition of America's brewery culture better than the
Saranac-Matt Brewing Company." What an awesome tribute! Thanks Charlie!Please read the article here.
