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!
Do you want to be Mayor of Saranac Thursdays?
Effective immediately, we're searching for the Mayor of Saranac Thursdays. Want the job? Sign up for Foursquare and download the app for your phone. Check-in each time you come to Saranac Thursdays. If you check in more than anyone else, you'll become the Mayor - which comes with its own set of perks for that week.
We will determine who the Mayor is by who holds the title each Thursday at noon. We'll announce the winner online via Twitter and Facebook. It's the winner's responsibility to let the folks at the gate know that you have arrived by showing your Foursquare profile.
The Mayor will receive free admission to Saranac Thursdays for that week (as well as get to wear the Mayor's sash and be acknowledged at the event). Mayorships can change from week to week so each check-in counts! The Official check-in spot is Saranac Thursdays.
So what is Foursquare? It's a great app for your smartphone that uses your location to show your friends where you are and helps you discover cool places around town. Even after the festivities at the Brewery, you can use the app to check-in at your favorite places and connect with friends to let them know where you're sharing a Saranac. More info can be found on the Foursquare website. Good luck!
Drumroll Please...
Here it is, what you've all been waiting for. Summer is near, and we've got the beer (and some pretty awesome music too!) Don't forget, the first Saranac Thursday is May 27th. Only 27 days away!
