Refer to Lew Bryson's book, "New York Breweries" for very detailed info on Albany and environs, or search his website, www.lewbryson.com .

There are a couple of places in Glens Falls, about 20 minutes north of Saratoga that make their own excellent beers. Davidson's Brew Pub makes fine beers and is a restaurant. The place is much more noteworthy for their beer than their food, but the latter is acceptable if one is primarily looking for good beer. IMO, the best beer in the entire area comes from Cooper's Cave Ale Co. This is not a restaurant, but in addition to great beer (one can purchase it in "growler" jugs), they make and sell excellent ice cream and sodas. The beers at either place are better than anything else I've had from either Albany or Saratoga.

hey doc, thanks for the suggestions i hit them both up tonight. Went to davidsons for dinner and a beer, tried the "Dacker" very malty with some sweeteness, decent overall. Then headed to coopers and shared a ice cream float with my girl. Grabbed a growler of their maibock to bring home. will get back to you after alittle testing this week :-)

thanks for the suggestions

Isn't Saranac Breweries around that area? I used to love those beers when I lived in upstate New York.
