Fort Orange Brewing

Fort Orange Brewing is a microbrewery located in Albany, NY, where they brew fresh and flavorful beers served in their spacious taproom.

The idea of Fort Orange Brewing began with its owners, Jim Eaton, Craig Johnson, and John Westcott, brewing beer in a garage and sharing it with friends, eventually leading to the creation of their signature Fort Orange IPA.

The brewery focuses on creating fresh, flavorful beers that showcase various styles, including Northeast IPA, hoppy pilsner, Irish red, and traditional stout, available in the taproom in flights, pints, or growlers to go.

The taproom, located at 450 North Pearl St, is a family-friendly environment where customers can try different beers, including a 'gauntlet' of 10 samples, and is also dog-friendly, allowing leashed and well-behaved dogs.

For food, customers can check the events page for scheduled food trucks or bring in their own food, and the brewery also offers a free 'gauntlet' on customers' birthdays with a valid ID.
