The Lake George Area is filled to the brim with craft beverage choices! Our region was one of the first in New York State to embrace craft beer with two local brew pubs opening in the 1990s. Dozens of craft breweries, distilleries, wineries, cideries and local soda makers can be found on the Adirondack Craft Beverage Trail, which is operated by the Lake George Regional Chamber of Commerce. Fill your glass with award-winning beverages, many of which are made with ingredients grown in New York State. Plan group tours of the craft beverage maker facilities and go behind the scenes to see how they are made. Or you can stop by a tasting room for a flight, growler, cans or bottles to go.
