To live in Central New York, you have to be tough. You have to be tougher than most people.

The FX Matt Brewery is getting a makeover.

It's no secret that the F.X. Matt Brewing Company makes some of the best beer in our country, but now a pretty reputable source has ranked them in the top 20 of the top 50 best breweries in 2015. Where exactly did Saranac fall on the list?

The Greater Utica Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday to celebrate the Grand Opening of the FX Matt Brewing Company's Saranac 1888 Tavern and Tasting Room.

With the growing popularity of craft beer and locally produced wine and spirits, many folks are beginning to plan their vacations around cities with popular craft breweries and events.

The Genesee Brewery in Rochester recently lit up their Holiday 'Keg Tree' once again. The tree stands 26 feet high and is made up of over 420 half barrels.

Saranac is saying goodbye to it's Black Forest beer, but it may not be forever.

The 2015 Saranac Thursday Band Schedule has been announced.

The Genesis Group is hosting the 4th annual Taste of the Mohawk Valley at the Saranac Brewery on Friday April 17 from 5-8 PM.

Congrats to the FX Matt Brewing Company, who is among the top breweries in America. The Brewers Association released its annual lists of the top 50 craft and overall brewing companies in the U.S., based on beer sales volume. Of the top 50 overall brewing companies, 42 were craft brewing companies.

If you're one who appreciates quality beer, you've probably already discovered a number of fine craft-brewed Octoberfest brews, with Saranac at the top of the list. But, I discovered another great Octoberfest lager that you may want to try.
