Adirondack Pub & Brewery, Inc. has announced that it has been recommended for a grant of up to $50,000 through the Empire State Development Craft Beverage Micro Grant Program.
The funding will help the Brewery build a nearly 3,000-square-foot addition and purchase equipment necessary to expand its brewing operation to meet increasing demand for a variety of craft beverages including hard cider, hard seltzer and ready-to-drink canned cocktails. The expansion will bring Adirondack Pub & Brewery’s square footage to approximately 15,000-square-feet.
John Carr, owner of Adirondack Pub and Brewery said, “We’ve seen a rise in demand for this selection of beverages and we’re excited to have the chance to provide even more for our customers. Currently we’re bursting at the seams. We make everything ourselves, fresh and on site.”
Empire State Development President, CEO and Commissioner Hope Knight said, “Through the Craft Beverage Micro Grant Program, ESD is helping New York’s craft beer and spirits producers grow and thrive. As Adirondack Pub & Brewery expands production of its distinctive craft beverages, it will encourage new opportunities and generate regional economic growth.”
In addition to a variety of beers, the brewery has introduced a selection of beverages beyond beer including canned hard lemonades and teas, hard ciders made with all New York State apples, hard seltzer and the popular Bear Wizz Root Beer.
