A gorgeous taproom, beautifully designed. Beer is delicious and unique. They’re Ripple Effect Double IPA is excellent. Drinks very smooth. And their porter — one of the best I’ve ever had.The bartender working was very attentive and knowledgeable. They offer artisinal cheeses and meats that pair with the beers. They offer local cider from 9 Pin for the non-beer drinkers as well as a NY wine by the glass.
Where it’s at, and what’s BREWING in Troy!. Weve only been here twice since their opening last May. The first time was shortly after they opened and they were sold out of almost everything that they had brewed. On that trip we thought the beer that we tried was ok, but nothing outstanding. This trip, the only beer that they were out of was the one that was at the top of our list to try Royal Coconut Cream Ale. And to make things worse, they said it sold out about 20 minutes before we arrived and wont be back until next Spring! ;-(But we were not to be deterred and soldiered on by tasting about a half-dozen others (there is no charge for simply tasting) and settled on the nitro version of Karass Porter (6.6% abv) and Satans Gut Imperial Stout (10% abv). While all beers are $6, glass sizes vary based upon the alcohol content of the brew. For example, the 6.6% abv Porter is served in a 12 oz. glass while the 10% abv Stout was served in a 10 oz. glass.The nitro Karass was so much more creamy than the regular draft Karass that we tasted, providing a wonderful mouth-feel. Satans Stout was rich and full-bodied with notes of chocolate and coffee. Delicious. Im sure well be back before Spring.Btw, this is a great place to have a drink before attending a show at the Troy Music Hall. Its just a short walk away. And you can also purchase or fill growlers to take home and enjoy later. For the most part this is not a place you go for a meal. But they do offer for sale some good cheeses and meats to match up with their beers. Staff are really friendly and happy to discuss the beers with anyone.
