It's hard to imagine summer when you're still chipping ice off of your windshield and shoveling out your driveway, but that hasn't stopped the Matt Brewing company.
First things first. The brewery has named Blues Traveler as the first confirmed act of the Saranac 2009 Concert Series. If you enjoy Saranac beer and live music in an outdoor setting, the Saranac concerts are great events. I've seen Robert Randolph, Lucinda Williams and moe., which are just a few of the top-notch acts that have been booked in the recent past. The brewery courtyard makes for a great venue with good sound and views of the stage from all angles. For more information on the June 14th show, check out Saranac's event page.
Next on the list we have the date for the first Saranac Thursday, May 28th. If you are from the Utica area, you are likely familiar with the event. Every Thursday from 5 - 8 pm a couple thousand Saranac lovers gather for this social event in the brewery's courtyard. With an admission of five dollars (which also gets you your first beer), the price is right for live music and a good time overall.
And of course, the beer. Saranac has announced the line-up for the 12 Beers of Summer which includes four new brews:
- Saranac Helles
- Saranac Rye Pilsener
- Saranac Amber Wheat
- Saranac Pale Pale Ale
- Saranac Summer Ale
- Saranac Pomegranate Wheat
Check here for full descriptions of each beer, three of which feature wheat malt.
