I just bought the only remaining Saranac I hadn't had at Mahar's cause I figured prices would skyrocket tomorrow. We were actually joking that Utica Club would see a huge boost in sales. I didn't realize they brewed UC at Saranac as well. I heard the Ubu from Lake Placid is brewed there too which is an outstanding beer. Hope you've stocked up on your favorite beer, worst case you have less than two months until Saratoga season where they'll be beer galore.

Yeah, they brew Saranac at FX Matt and Genesee, and "The Club" there too. Not good news...

Genny is made in Rochester N.Y. not in Utica. Thier old slogan from the 80's was "our one brewery makes it best".

Utica Club "flying off the shelves" as people brace for shortage.

I worded that poorly... Saranac is also brewed at the Genny plant (as is some Sam Adams).

Trust me, I grew up next to the Genny brewery, I smelled (and drank) it every day of my teen years. I know where it's brewed

Lots of beer is made up there including Flying Fish Farmhouse and most (if not all) of the bottled Brooklyn product.
