    Any sightings of this brew in upstate Albany, NY area? Or further north?

    Thanks!

    I saw it in Albany a few weeks back, i bought one and thought it was decent, nothing to write home about, didn't really get much orange but a nice Baltic Porter.

    It's everywhere in Syracuse, bars and stores. A very good effort from Saranac; one of the tastiest Baltic porters.

    Agreed. A solid effort by Saranac. Wish there was more orange, but a tasty beer just the same.

    Yeah, I got it in Saratoga Springs at EBI. I would think that Westmere and Brew Crew both have it. I really liked it, but I've always liked chocolate and orange together. Reminded me a little bit of Stone VE 09/09/09. Really gotta let it warm up before the blend of chocolate and orange opens up! I'd recommend it!

    I believe westmere beverage has a bunch in albany and i would assume olivers does too. Also not too long ago the lager house in latham had it on tap (idk if they still do tho)

    Olivers and Westemere have had it for about a month now. 6.79 for a bomber at Olivers is what I paid. A pleasant surprise from Saranac IMO. I'd pick it up again.

    How is this place? Is it more a sports bar? Ample seating at the bar?

    Thanks for all the responses here! :slight_smile:

    Westmere is strictly a bottle shop and probably going to be the best selection you are going to find in Albany (sadly)
