USA, NY: Fort Orange Brewing Co. to open its doors in Albany on October 25
Albany's warehouse district just north of downtown welcomes a new brewery and taproom this month with the opening of the Fort Orange Brewing Co., NewYorkUpstate.com reported on October 20.
Fort Orange is located in a light industrial area with a garage door opening onto 450 N. Pearl St. It joins a growing number of craft alcohol businesses in the area, including C.H. Evans/Albany Pump Station (brewery); Albany Distilling Co.; Nine Pin Cider; and Druthers Brewing Co.
Fort Orange will be a production facility with a tasting room for on- and off-premises sales. It'll offer games for patrons, but it is not set up as a brewpub (brewery/restaurant).
"We're going to be primarily a tap room," partner Jim Eaton told alloveralbany.com in August. "And a little bit different from what Albany has right now because the Pump Station and Druthers are both restaurants. And we're going to be more a traditional brewery."
Eaton is running Fort Orange with Craig Johnson and John Westcott. All are from Castleton and all have day jobs. They invested more than $200,000 in the project, according to the Albany Business Review.
Opening day is Oct. 25.
The brewery will focus on IPAs (India Pale Ales), but will also do other styles, like pilsners and stouts. They plan to offer beer in their own tap room and at accounts around the Capital Region, Eaton told alloveralbany.com.
