If you want to head up to the famous Lake Placid Olympic center in Lake Placid New York you better stop at the right brewery and pup for drinks and that's the Lake Placid Pub & Brewery. They are one of our many featured breweries for Utica On Tap, here's a little history on them.

During our vacation in Cape Cod last September, my wife and I searched out some new destinations. Of course, I found a brewery! As a former tour guide during my college days at the F.X. Matt Brewery, I appreciate other breweries (and brewery tour guides) and discovered Cape Cod Brewery in Hyannis, Cape Cod Massachusetts.

You know that Utica is home to the F.X. Matt Brewing Company, but you may not know the number of breweries that existed in this area during the 19th and 20th centuries. With good water and nearby hop farms in the Waterville area, Utica had the right stuff to be in the beer business.

Over the years, those of us watching the beer trends have seen them come and go: dry beers, ice beers, malt drinks. Now, Miller has released something called, "Miller Fortune".

During the 1800s and early 1900s, the Town Of Sangerfield and specifically Waterville were considered one of the major hop-growing regions in the country. Due to that fact, a number of local breweries were located in the nearby Utica area.

For over 30 years, I've been a customer of Marcy Discount Beverage at 9270 River Road in Marcy (just down the road from Oldiez 96.1, how convenient). If you're into craft beer, most likely they've got the one you want in stock.

We always like to promote New York State breweries on our "Beer Break At Work", weekday afternoons at 3:20 on Oldiez96.1. Today, we spotlight the Ithaca Beer Company, just  a stone's throw away and their new release of Belgian brews.

If you used to watch SCTV as I did, that Canadian import comedy show with so many funny stars, you may have seen an episode or two of "The Great White North". The sketch featured Canadian brothers, Bob and Doug McKenzie, played by Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas.
