It’s sweater weather, and that means some of us desire a fuller and more intense beer that matches our food and our turtlenecks.
Lake Placid Pub & Brewery is made for sweater weather.
So we are pleased as punch to see that USA Today, the largest local-to-national publishing and digital media organization in the country, named Lake Placid Brewery’s Autumn Rye Amber to its 2023 10 Best Fall Beers.
According to USA Today, Lake Placid Pub & Brewery’s Autumn Rye Amber offers drinkers “a rich copper ale that's imbued with flaked oats for a full, lasting mouthfeel.”
From humble beginnings to an award-winning brewery.
The Lake Placid Brewery's origin story is reminiscent of many microbreweries, beginning with a couple of friends with a homebrew kit and a deep appreciation for beer.
But, the team's ardor for the craft, history, and art of beer making extends beyond mere affection for the beverage. They’ve stuck with their endeavor for over 26 years.
Through trial and error, perspiration and inspiration and hard-earned experience hand-crafting delicious brews, the team has earned the respect of the ADK brewing community and beyond the blue line.
Today, Lake Placid Pub & Brewery has gained immense popularity and built a reputation for excellence by producing award-winning ales and lagers.
Nationwide recognition and awards from the American brewing community evidence the worth of these dedicated brewers’ efforts. Lake Placid Brewery has crafted nearly 150 beer styles and produces almost 350,000 pints of beer annually, placing them in the top 7% of brewpubs across the country.
