As a former tour guide at the F.X. Matt Brewing Company, I am always interested in sharing news of what's going on at the brewery. And, congratulations go out to Saranac for winning recent awards. Check this out!

According to  a statement from saranac.com:

"The New York International Beer Competition recently awarded Saranac Legacy IPA a Silver Award for American Style India Pale Ale. Also, Saranac Black Forest won Bronze for German Style Schwarzbier category. And they were awarded "New York Brewery Of The Year".

This competition is judged by retailers, distributors and beer buyers.

According to a statement by the brewery, :"We consider this a major accomplishment especially in this competition, where the judges are individuals who buy and sell beer for a living"."

Remember to listen to your "Beer Break At Work", every weekday at 3:20 p.m. for a chance to win great prizes!
