After a long day of bobsledding we stopped by the Adirondack Brewing Co.  The restaurant associated with the brewery is a little more high end than your typical brew pub.  The food is great here.  The Clam Chowder really hit the spot. The menu is full of surf and turf options, all of which looked awesome.

The beer list included: Haystack Blonde Ale, Ausable Wulff Red Ale, Cloud Splitter BelgianThe Red Ale is a good solid brew.  It was amber in color with a rich malty taste.  The Hefeweizen is a traditional German Hefe, you know what that tastes like.  The Belgian Strong Ale is a high alcohol example of a Belgian.  They use Belgian candi sugar so the taste is sweet with a dry finish and a hint of alcohol.  Strong Ale, Hefeweizen, Whiteface Stout, and John Brown Pale Ale.  After we sampled all the brews, Whiteface Stout and the Pale Ale stood out.

Whiteface Stout has won multiple GABF awards for foreign-style stout. Huge amounts of roast and chocolate malts give this brew a very robust opaque color.  The malt bill also contributes flavors of chocolate, roast, coffee, and Espresso.  This is a medium to full bodied brew that has 7.6% alcohol to balance out the roast flavors.  We drank a lot of these.

John Brown Pale Ale is a classic west coast pale ale hopped with a ton of Cascade hops. The beer is then dry hopped with cascade whole hops in the fermenter at over a pound per barrel. The dry hopping produces a sharp, crisp citrus aroma for this hop lovers beer.  This brew had a much bigger hop taste than the traditional pale ale, which was a pleasant surprise.

If you are ever up in the area stop by for a brew.  They also have a few seasonal selections throughout the year.
