The staff was awesome and accommodating, very friendly and helpful. Very layed back vibe, kid friendly and pets are allowed outside. The food was good, in my opinion the burgers were over cooked and a little dry. The 5 stars is for the beer, it was very good. Like I said, Local Hero is a top all time beer for me. Exactly what a lager should be. I will go back here anytime I get near it

Fidens Brewing Company on Broadway in Albany Each week there's a different wing flavor to try, so whether you're into stepping outside the box or sticking with your favorites, the choice is yours. And let me just say this... people were constantly coming in for pickup orders and filling seats to the point they SOLD OUT of wings I heard one poor guy say "Ummm... now I don't know what to get." But those Buffalo Wontons??? Absolutely delicious Outside of the food menu they also have a huge selection of beers, and since I'm definitely not a beer connoisseur, "Mike" behind the bar let me sample a few while breaking down the different flavor profiles which honestly made the experience even better.

Not overly sweet. I could smell the raspberry when I was drinking it. It has vibrant raspberry color too. My favorite dish here is the chili. Not too salty but well seasoned. Perfect consistency.

You are given a buzzer that you put on the table. The waiter will come to deliver the food. There's misunderstanding about our salad order. We ordered regular salad but were given a side dish size. The waiter quickly told the kitchen to make regular size salad.

A tale of 4 breweries…read more So we tried to visit the brewery (#1) across the street for a flight and some food. It closed at 4, then we were going to have a beer at Return (#2) which opened at 4. The first place closed early (before 3:30pm), so we had some time to check out another spot (#3) a bit of a drive away. (5 min). The other place seemed fine, but since my spouse said the 4pm spot was good, we went back. Second customers in after opening, and I asked if they had any food or flights. He very politely told me that they did not have flights or food (tonight, but they did have some bagged snacks) and told me another brewery (#4) had both those things a short distance away (5-10 min/a few blocks). After chatting with the spouse (she and 3 kids had entered), we decided to stay. (Also, as a fun side-note, #4 is the one spouse thought she was taking us to.) We shared half a pilsner (Polished), half a gose (Speed Dial), and half an IPA (Westwhere). The Pilsner ended up being our 3rd favorite, but they were all tasty. We are not big drinkers, so we felt the 1.5 beers each! And since we were staying, we picked up a mandarin soda for the kids to share (special treat) and we all munched on a bit of popcorn, beef jerky, and Zapp's chips. It ended up being a great time! Very affordable, low-key, solid tunes, and super kid friendly. It's a big space, so noisy children are not too noticeable. Also, the man running the bar, again, was super cool. Highly recommend!

Ticket at the gate was $25 but we got our tickets through Groupon for only $23 for the 2 of us which was a really sweet deal for this particular event from 11am-6pm. There were tons of tasting from wineries, distilleries, breweries, cideries but didn't quite balance well with the paucity of food vendors. Luckily there were food trucks around so you could grab a bite to eat, listen to the live band, go pets some goats at the petting zoo and then go back to for more drink tastings. Overall, Columbia County Fairgrounds is a terrific venue to host this type of event and was worth it for the drinks, entertainment, and free souvenir wine glasses.

Eric is the brew master and was working this day serving these fabulous beers that are worth a stop to this place. They also have another location down the road at their farm. That would be cool to visit another time. This place and the bathrooms are super clean, bright. There is plenty of seating to allow you to spread out. Each table has games so if you just want to enjoy a beer and play games you can. I played the BeerIQ game and I learned a few things about beer and now I want to buy the game for home. Beer: I had a sample of brown ale and the imperial stout. Both were incredible. It is hard to get a good brown ale and Eric nailed it! I ordered a brown ale since I was driving and the alcohol content was lower. I tasted the Imperial stout and wow delicious. One of the regulars was raving about the imperial stout and he was so right! Some days they offer food, but we came on Saturday where the kitchen was closed. Eric was kind enough to allow us to get outside food so we could continue to enjoy his brews. Everyone here is friendly. Highly recommend to come. Even if you are not near by, these brews are worth the drive.
