Saranac is pretty good beer...used to drink it back when I lived upstate.

Upstate never mentions you were there!

They only just now put the historic Rainier R back on top of the old defunct brewery after it was replaced by the Tully's T for probably 20 years.

They sell Saranac here. I want to try that. I like silver bullets sometimes. They are very light. I can have a couple without getting that really full feeling.

There are a lot of regional beers here. A lot of German immigrants. Most of those beers are fairly nasty though.

Saranac pale ale is very good...and their black and tan (if they still make it).

I prefer the lighter lagers. Those are really good after work on a hot summer day.

I grew very fond of Weizen beer from my days in Bavaria. Only didn't like the Pilsners there. They had so much hops that they were nearly corrosive

I had a Marine DI who was addicted to Guinness Extra Stout. I thought it was nasty and hated getting the grains stuck in my teeth.

People from the city think Albany is upstate. I am 2 hours north of upstate.

People from upstate think anything south of Westchester is "the city". I live in surburbia 50 miles from Manhattan.

You ever try Leffe?

It's an acquired taste. I like Pike Place Stout for a local stout.

Never heard of it. My mobility to the beer store has been limited lately.

You have to put it down for a while if you want to get any more on your own.

It's Belgian...Leffe Blonde...one of my top 3 favorite beers. Recommended by my favorite beer advisor...lol
