Adirondack Bear Naked Ale


This is, once again, not a style I love. I don't think I'd drink it all the time. Just not my favorite overall.

Adirondack Dirty Blonde


This was a cloudy wheat. It was easy to drink, but underwhelming overall.

Adirondack Bobcat Blonde Lager



I'm not a fan of lagers, especially the light ones. At 3.8% ABV, it would be a good sessionable summer beer, but I don't think I'd drink it typically.

Pub Review: Adirondack Pub and Brewery


 On a random day we ended up at the Adirondack Brewery up in Lake George, New York. We had tried several beers of theirs before, as they are quite plentiful in the grocery stores around here. From the bottle, we were typically underwhelmed by their beers, but still decided to give them a try. We ended up with a sampler each. They force you to go with 3 of their main beers and you get to pick the next 3. The beers were definitely better on tap than they are when you get them in the bottle.

We sat the bar on a busy, pre-summer, Saturday afternoon. Our bartender was pretty great and we had some snacks that were tasty. Overall, we had a pretty good experience and enjoyed ourselves. I'd come again if I was in the area, but I don't think I'd make a special trip.

Lazy Magnolia Jefferson Stout


We got this beer from my husband's co-worker. He wasn't a stout guy and got it in a monthly subscription box. If you're a stout person, especially if you like milk/sweet stouts, you'll love this one. It was heavy on the sweetness and had a great flavor.

Harpoon UFO Pumpkin

First thing you should know is this beer is unfiltered. Second, it is delicious. It was one of the better pumpkin beers we had in the 2013 season.

Jolly Pumpkin La Parcela No. 1 Pumpkin Ale


This beer is a pumpkin sour. I really think it was a terrible idea and should not have been created. I'd classify it as mildly drinkable. Not my favorite for sure.
