| ------------------------- April Meeting Get ready for a meeting not to be missed as we welcome a very special guest Todd Rivers Saranac Brewery The Saranac line is the most popular product of the F.X. Matt Brewing Company which is an American family-owned brewery at the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains in Utica, New York. It is the second oldest family-owned brewery in the United States, as it has been brewing beer since 1853. And just in case you were wondering, Saranac is an Iroquois word meaning “Cluster of Stars.” Saranac features six "core beers"- IPA, White IPA, Pale Ale, Adirondack Lager, Black Forest, Black & Tan- plus seven seasonals including the highly rated Rye IPA and Kolsch. New to their lineup is the "High Peak" series consisting of Imperial IPA, Imperial Stout, and Imperial Chocolate Orange. Join us for a tasting of an array of great Saranac beers and learn more about one of the largest breweries in the country at our next meeting Sunday April 15 at 4 PM This is a Mr. Rivers' only currently scheduled beer club presentation in New Jersey so don't miss this event!! ------ A Look Back In 1885, young F.X. Matt I, a German-born immigrant, left a promising career at the famous Duke of Baden Brewery in the Black Forest region of Germany to travel to the United States with the dream of owning his own brewery someday. After several years of brewing experience at the Bierbaur Brewery, F.X. Matt re-organized the faltering brewery to create The West End Brewing Company in 1888. Serving as both the star salesman and brewmaster, the brewery quickly became one of the largest and most successful of the breweries in the area. Today, Nick Matt (Chairman) and his nephew Fred (President ) continue the brewing tradition with the Saranac family of beers – a beer brewed to the same high standards of quality F.X. Matt established more than a century ago. Today Matt is the 13th largest brewery by volume in the United States and the 7the largest craft brewery. ----------------------------- |
