\nBy Maureen Werther\n<\/div>\n

Local craft beer brewer and businessman John Carr opened the Adirondack Pub and Brewery<\/a> on Canada Street in Lake George in 1999 and has watched his business grow year after year.<\/p>\n

He is now adding a new dimension, this time creating a multi-functional space next door to the pub that will be used as an educational venue for current and future beer crafters, as well as a tourist attraction and potential event space. He is calling it the Adirondack Craft Beverage Campus.<\/p>\n

Carr was recently awarded a $325,000 Empire State Development Grant to help make his latest dream a reality. However, the funding is retroactive and Carr still needs to raise funds to fulfil his dream. His vision involves the creation of a facility that will house brewing and distilling equipment and a lot more.<\/p>\n

According to James McReynolds, general manager of the pub, the facility could be used by students from the local community colleges, as well as visiting brewers and distillers from other parts of the region.
\n“This is still an evolving project,” said McReynolds.<\/p>\n

One of the ideas Carr and his team are considering is creating a space where people will want to come and spend a day, touring the facilities and participating in tastings, McReynolds said. There would also be shops where visitors could purchase locally made beers and spirits. There would be other vendors to attract visitors.<\/p>\n

“We are already becoming better known in Lake George as a year-round destination,” said McReynolds. He noted that, when he first came on board with the company in 2007, the pub was a seasonal business, operating between April and the end of October.<\/p>\n

“Now, we are open year-round, from Thursday through Sunday and people come here from all over. We are working hard with the rest of the Lake George business community to eliminate the word ‘off’ from ‘season’ when it comes to Lake George. We have four different and unique seasons here, and the lake is just as beautiful when it’s frozen,” he said.<\/p>\n

Currently, the pub holds four different Oktoberfests during the fall season. They are getting ready for the upcoming Ice Festival season, which begins on Jan. 20 and runs through the beginning of February. In March, the pub hold the Festival of Barrels, an event McReynolds said draws nearly 1,000 people to the village to taste the beers that have been fermenting in barrels all winter long.<\/p>\n

“Having a beverage campus and event space would bring more people from all over,” said McReynolds. “And with new hotels like the Marriott and the Holiday Inn, people will be able to come up and spend the night, even if it’s in the fall, winter or spring seasons.”<\/p>\n

Work has already begun on clearing the property and developing the surrounding infrastructure, including landscaping and streetscaping, according to McReynolds, with the hope of breaking ground for new beverage campus building sometime in April or May.<\/p>\n

“This is going to be a three or four-year project. It’s not all going to be built in a day,” said McReynolds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
