When thinking about the craft beverage industry in our region,
we’d say the glass is half full. This is an industry that continues to flow
and pump more unique flavor into the area.
That’s why the Lake George Regional Chamber of Commerce and
Convention and Visitors Bureau was thrilled to accept the Adirondack
Craft Beverage Trail program from the Adirondack Regional Chamber
of Commerce in May 2018.
This program was launched in the summer of 2014 and continues
to thrive with breweries, wineries, distilleries and cideries on the trail
from Saratoga to Lake Placid.
These high-quality
craft beverage makers attract
visitors from around
the globe. We feel fortunate
to have them in our
back yard. When it comes
to beer — the fresher the
better! Experience farmto-bottle
flavor as the makers
use local ingredients
in their beverages. Our
region also offers numerous
transportation options
so you can enjoy yourself
responsibly. For more information,
