    This is so close to the bike path! We went for a ride, easily hopped off the path to stop here for a drink, and then finished our ride. It was a beautiful day. People were sitting outside at the tables and others were playing corn hole in the parking lot. I got the Kenwood Pale Ale and enjoyed it. There are peanuts on the tables to munch on while hang out. I really liked it here - nice laid back feel. If I lived closer I would go for a walk on the path then grab a beer all summer long.

    This was the first brewery in Delmar and anchors the "warehouse" district of town. Owned locally it has grown over the years but still pours great beer brewed there with regular food trucks and entertainment. A spot that is welcoming to adults and families its a great spot in town for socializing & fresh brewed beer.

    Who can complain about having a nice little brewery and tasting room right in the middle of a suburb? I sure can't. The Real McCoy is a little tough to find, and more signage from the main roads/rail trail would definitely help, but if you turn down by the Delmar post office and go past the Four Corners Luncheonette and Curtis Lumber, you'll eventually find yourself before the garage/building shared by Real McCoy, Royal Meadery, and Brewtus. With seating for no more than 50, and opened only for limited weekend hours (closing up by 6 on Saturday -- according to signage -- but appearing to sometimes stay open a little later in practice), Real McCoy is a low-key place to enjoy a laid-back afternoon pint. Have I loved each beer I've tried (including those I've had at other area restaurants)? No, but I never love each beer at any brewery I visit. The NoName Hefeweizen is a hit for me, and my husband has enjoyed the Mini Martian IPA. We're looking forward to trying other options, and seeing what they come up with next. We enjoyed visiting on St Patrick's Day, where the garage door was kept open, and patrons spilled out into the gravel parking lot, and look forward to coming back in warmer weather. There's no food served, besides bowls of peanuts, but it looks like food trucks are an option in summer, and at special events. Happy to find this fun little gem in Delmar's Four Corners. It's our hope that over time, they'll expand their hours, as well as their beer options (a gose, please). Until then, we'll be back to Real McCoy the next time we have a free hour or two on a weekend afternoon, and also plan to visit the meadery and coffee roastery.

    Really fun place for COVID outdoor beers. Glad to see that they have heaters and an awning. Although there is tons of outdoor space not so many tables fit under the awning. Had a great dark beer, Pretty dry with a rich flavor but not over powering like a stout. Loved the free salted peanuts. Solid selection of wine and cider. A good crowd on a rainy night. Looking forward to coming again and ordering some food.

    Super nice small brewery. Good customers have their own glasses, which makes it even more personable and like able. The beer is really good and the place is cozy, and makes you feel at home

    I have found the best restaurant-made potato chips at Common Roots Brewing in Albany. The thing is,…read moreI wasn't even looking for them. They came free with my Nashville fried chicken sandwich order.They do great deep fryer food. My sandwich was all sorts of crispy, spicy and tangy fun. The space, however, has changed a lot. I remember when it was the Pump Station several years ago. The late owner, Neil Evan, was a fixture there and his seafood Mac & Cheese was something to rave about. By contrast, Common Roots has a more limited menu and plainer furniture. A lot of pizza varieties, tacos, salads and burgers. Decent bar food. By contrast, Common Roots flagship in Glens Falls appears to have a better menu with more variety. I generally eat healthy. I can't eat bar food regularly. The meal was great for a Friday night out. There's also a very good non-alcoholic beverage and drinks menu. I was happy to see all of varieties of stout. The snowy stout was delicious. So was the kombucha. The bar where I sat was clean, sleek and modern. The bartender, who took my order was helpful with suggestions. The main dining area looked a bit sparse for 8pm on a Friday night but the business is still relatively new. I'd like to see an expanded menu with at least a few more healthy choices and some family-friendly selections. Meanwhile, I'll know where to go if I get a craving for awesome freshly made potato chips.

    Great beer and great food. Stopped here after touring the capital and it was a fun,delicious spot.read more

    What a beautiful, CLEAN, friendly, and inviting venue!…read more Aside from incredible cider at more than fair prices (try the classic, the Mule cider, and the Imperial (if you want more bang in your cider)), Nine Pin is absolutely SPOTLESS inside - so impressed with how clean this place is. Also impressive are their Bavarian pretzels with Cider Cheese, the ambient music, the selection of games to play, and their robust calendar of events. The team members working there are super friendly and knowledgeable. One of the highlights of this visit was watching a couple at a nearby table order a cider flight, and it comes as an impressive display of nine tap offerings framed in a nine-pin bowling pin diamond - WOW!!! Though I am not in Albany often, I do have a few friends in the area and rest assured the next time I am in this city, Nine Pin will be where I ask to meet up with all of my friends. I'm excited for another trip here. Well done Nine Pin!

    I really like this place!…read more Food is good. Had some of the apps and pizzas. Nothing remarkable, but still great overall! Cider flight was fun. I also like that they do offer real cocktails. My 8 year old daughter love the donuts and mocktails. Overall, perfect for big groups. You order at the counter, so you don't need to stress about splitting the bill. Easy spot to bring kids. We brought our own board games and art materials to entertain our kids ages 1-8 years old. No issues!
