Rutland Beer Works is a short walk or drive from downtown Rutland. This one has a warm, cozy,…read moreinterior with several seating options, including at the bar, various tables, a sofa, and some plush chairs. The beers available include some on tap and some in cans. I guess they don't have darker beers this time of year, but I was satisfied with my can of Rutland Red American Amber Ale. Service is quick and friendly. The parking lot isn't too large, holding maybe 6 cars. We didn't order food because we had only recently finished lunch, but I see other reviews speak favorably of what's offered.

Eight months earlier, I visited the Mean Max taproom in Troy. While I enjoyed my visit there, I was…read moredisappointed that so many of the brews listed on their website were not available there, only at their taproom in Glens Falls. Well, I finally got here, and it was indeed worth it for me. The space is large and comfortable. Parking is convenient, usually spaces on US 9 right in front of their entrance is almost always available, and their downtown location makes it very convenient to visit other businesses. One of the reasons I like Mean Max so much is my preference for darker beers. They always have a number of them available, enough to make a flight of just those if you want (flights here are five 5oz. glasses), with quite a range of ABV's, if that matters to you. While the Troy taproom has numerous pinball machines, here they only have one Golden Tee with a large screen for it on the wall (something my friends would love). This area of Glens Falls is definitely worth a visit, and Mean Max should be part of it.

If you're a beer lover, Mean Max is worthy of a pilgrimage. Their head brewmaster, Jack Lamson, is…read moretruly a master at his craft. I'm somewhat convinced he's an actual wizard. He's also one of the kindest people you'll ever meet. I'm not a violent man, but I'd slap you across the face if at the bar you told me with a straight face the beer you ordered wasn't one of the best dang ones you've ever had. The only negative thing I can say is that now all other beer will lack in comparison.

I visited here recently and was quite impressed. It's located pretty far out in the country, but…read morethere's still cell service there. It features a small sitting area, outside seating, and Adirondack chairs that are seated around a fire pit. They offer light pub fair, beer by the glass, sampler flights. Their selection of crafted beer was really good. I believe they offer eight different varieties. They offer crowlers to go, but the price is a bit high (more around the price of a growler). I'll definitely be back soon!

Northway Brewing had been on my "must visit" list for some time. So when one of my out of town…read more"brewery crawl buddies" was visiting, we made a point to come here, especially after checking out the tap list in advance. There's typically about 20 beers on tap, and there's enough variety and familiarity - combined with flavored hard seltzer pours - to satisfy anyone's wish list for a flight. The space is comfortable, to allow conversation to flow freely among your own friends and everyone sitting near you. And don't forget about the dogs demanding your attention at this dog-friendly site. I appreciate the growing number of breweries in the Glens Falls-Lake George area, but honestly, if I'm coming to the area with friends, we'll come here first.

We frequent a lot of breweries and love to experience new ones. This, in my opinion, is what every…read morebrewery should strive to be. We arrived on a slow day, which made a perfect opportunity to strike up conversation with their brewers and staff. One thing led to another, and we ended up being offered a tour of their massive facility and talking beer and brewing. The facility is impressive! We learned the history of the brewery and were walked through their entire brewing process. We had numerous flights to sample their beers, and the staff were kind enough to curate them for us based on what they though we would like. The beers were excellent! We ended up remaining here for quite a while, sitting at their bar, and talking about the area, life, etc. It was the most pleasant interaction we had while away in Lake George. The tasting room is really cool, featuring lots of wood, galvanized metals, cool artwork, etc. It was an awesome atmosphere to be in to try some great beers. We will 100% return!

Beer here is excellent. Always good but heavily weighted with IPA's, NEIPA's, and sours- I can't…read moreunderstand why they or anyone would have more sours than they have lagers and pilsners. Yuck. But their single lager and single pilsner are always good/consistent. And they have one meddle/award that they are proudly showing off, and they should but guess what kind of beer it is? A Pilsner. Take the hint you don't need 17 easy to make no effort IPAs that all taste the same. Food seems like an afterthought here. It's consistently average. They make a decent pizza here, but it's always soggy. The outside crust typically is perfect, often with a light char which is nice, but underneath the cheese and sauce, which they to put too much of on and undercook it, you wind up with a soggy slice of pizza that tastes OK. I also had their poutine recently. I can live with the vegetarian turkey gravy, which tasted pretty good, cheese curds were OK but what's going on with these fries? Soggy, brown. Are they brown because they're fry oil is disgusting? Are they just cooking the crap out of these things. I can't imagine that's the case because they're not crispy at all and taste awful. Waiting and bar staff seem to be wonderful people- they're attentive, food comes out relatively quickly. Service is not rushed. Atmosphere in this place is pretty good though I would like to have the music turned up a little bit louder so it's just not background noise and so you can actually hear the lyrics or discern what song is being played. Music done right can be part of the experience. Right now it's just a soft rumble in the background and it just becomes an annoyance. There's literally been extensive research on music in your restaurant and bar and how loud it's supposed to be and the music selection. Why places like this pay absolutely no attention to that research is beyond me. MUSIC IS IMPORTANT! Treat it that way please. Ultimately, even though the food is averaged to below average, and I can't hear the music, we continue to come back here because of the beer . Imagine if they put the same effort into their menu...

We came for lunch and had chicken tenders, a hot dog and a chicken ceasar wrap. Everything was delish, and there are plenty of kid-friendly options. Beer is always fab (as expected) and they have a huge variety. They don't sell as much in cans unfortunately, but there are a few flavors available if you want to purchase some to take home. Service is always friendly, and they keep the calendar packed with fun events and live music. Overall this is a Bolton Landing favorite and we always look forward to visiting.

Our waitress checked in on us a few times, but it was very slow, so she was keeping busy which is great. I believe the owner was there as well and answered some e off the wall question I had about some other Yelp review pictures (the one with the barrels for sale cause that deal looked unreal!). This place is super clean and very inviting. Even walking in the door an employee was walking out and just randomly gave us a friendly hello while looking at the menu posted outside. Can't say much about the food, just had the ahi tuna which was good but the cocktails were on point and the whiskey was delicious and not overpriced for such a tourist destination. I thought maybe 4 stars would be fair but for service, hospitality and coziness of this place, gives it a Lake George 5 stars.
