Award Winning Beers

The Matt Brewery has produced thirty different beers in its Saranac line over the past two decades, which include Adirondack Lager (German amber lager), Black & Tan (stout/amber lager blend), Pale Ale (English pale ale), Black Forest (Bavarian Schwarzbier), India Pale Ale, Lager (traditional American lager), and a seasonal Belgian White (white beer).

The Saranac line of beers have been awarded several distinguished honors since its inception. In 1991, Saranac Amber Lager (today known as Adirondack Lager) was named the top premium lager at the Great American Beer Festival. At the 2007 Australian International Beer Awards, both the Pale Ale and Imperial Stout beers won recognition. Saranac Pale Ale was also awarded the Silver Medal in the "Classic English Style Pale Ale" Division at the 2008 World Beer Cup.

In addition to beers sold in traditional packaging, Saranac sells assorted beers in twelve packs as its Adirondack Trail Mix and seasonally as the Twelve Beers of Winter (called the Twelve Beers of Christmas until the 2006-2007 season). A number of family brands such as Kaltenberg, Black Cola, Two Dogs, and X.O. Premium Blend are all recognized products of the brewery.

In the late 1970s, Matt Brewery was one of the four breweries that produced Billy Beer. At the dawn of the craft-brewing movement in the mid-1980s, Matt began contract-brewing many of the East Coast's most successful brands: New Amsterdam Amber Beer, Pete's Wicked, Brooklyn Lager, Newman's Albany Amber, Dock Street Amber and Olde Heurich.

In addition to beer, Matt Brewery also distributes popular soft drinks, notably the Saranac Root Beer. Other drinks include diet Root Beer, Shirley Temple, Orange Cream, Ginger Beer, and Sparkling Lemonade.

    The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.
    Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    ... the most extreme conditions require the most extreme response, and for some individuals, the call to that response is vitality itself.... The integrity and self-esteem gained from winning the battle against extremity are the richest treasures in my life.
