I am on summer holidays and the blog is at the mercy of my interest in posting but I have to say that the Adirondack Pub and Brewery in Lake George, New York is pretty good. I had their IPA as well as a decent sampler of blond, hefe, steam, stout, IPA and...umm...another. The food was great and the staff were better. I was able to crawl all over the place taking photos but it will be a couple of weeks before the camera gets anywhere near the computer. [Ed.: Found one.] Interesting to note that the yeast selection made for an actual house style (tangy yet clean) that sets them apart. Nothing like a brewer trying not to taste like the next guy.
One note - the fellow peering around the right end of the pumps in the lowest left photo answered his phone "I stop for brew pubs!" He was travelling on work from Colorado and hunted out micros and brew pubs where ever he went. He recommended a particular brew pub from his neck of the woods, Ska Brewing Company of Durango, Colorado.
More notes as I travel New England and New York...if I can keep laying my hands on a computer, that is.

do you sell beer,that we don't have in Montreal,Qc, by the bottles, that we can bring home or it's served and drink on the spot?

I have no idea what you are asking, Eric. <p>But I was back at the Adirondack Pub & Brewery yesterday and enjoyed myself. I had the Bear Naked Amber, the Blond and a very tangy version of their scots ale. The meal and service were both good on the sort of extremely hot day that could test any staff. Neat to also find this post tacked up in the hallway to the bathroom.

I'm the brewer/owner and I wanted to thank you for stopping by. I have a great staff that does work hard thanks for the feed back, plus they love hearing about us on the web! Lake George is a great area to hike, swim, sail, what ever! Then stop by for a low key beer on the deck. Working on some new beers for the upcoming season, including a dark IPA and double hopped blonde stop in. Thanks again John
