Great birthday stop at fort Orange! Superb environment with excellent brew and friendly service. An incredible spot for gathering and enjoying a choice brew or a taste of them all! Thank you for the birthday gauntlet and a great space on my birthday!

I was here on a Tuesday night for a 90's themed trivia night. We had an awesome time. Their flight gauntlet was a great way to try all of their beers. They have a passion fruit and mango sour that I loved. They have lots of options so there is something for everyone (wheat beers, IPAs, stouts etc). My husband liked their Peanut Butter beer and Fort Orange IPA which had some citrus undertones. There was a food truck parked outside selling burgers, fries, hotdogs, fried dough and churros at very reasonable prices. We will definitely be back.

Loved it. Great place. Good selection of locally brewed beer in downtown Albany. Bring your own food or Barback has menus for establishments that will deliver there.

What's not to like? Great beers brewed 20 feet from the taproom, friendly proprietors, corn hole and board games (including old school Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots for the kiddos!) and a brewery with a sense of old Albany history. (Ask why their beer flight rack and logo look like that) The Local Stout was flavorful and roasty good, their namesake Fort Orange IPA was a straight-up NEIPA with citrusy nose, juicy flavor and just the right amount of hoppy goodness. I also sipped on their Irish red, Whistlestopper, easy to drink in the Smithwick's vein, but with a dry note from a bit more aggressive hopping than most reds. Open just since October, this place is already brewing gems and has great potential. Ask about the way-cool "Beer It Forward" chalkboard wall and buy your mates a brew for a future visit!

Great atmosphere, and great beer. Such a unique place to grab a bite to eat when a food truck is out front, or bring something to eat while enjoying a pint, or two... Or three. Started off with a flight to test several of the brews, and each impressed me in its own way. I'm not the most knowledgeable beer drinker, but the owner guided my selections based off what I knew I did like. Very helpful, as were the descriptions on the menu. Looking forward to getting back soon, and trying some of the options I didn't get to taste during my first visit.

Fort Orange is the only brewery that you can hang out with the staff and feel like family. We love the joking around and comradery we have experienced since they opened on day 1. We love to bring our friends and family to this local brewery due to this feel. Please don't change. It's like a "Cheers"! The beer is very good too....

Good fun and great beer. They had a corn hole tournament going on so it was a little loud but over all a great selection of beer and nice people

Really cool location with great staff. The beers were good, not much variety though. The food truck they had was highly disappointing, but that's not on them. I would recommend if you are in the area and want somewhere to hang for a little and grab a beer.

Came on a whim here and glad I did. To get the downsides out of the way first, I came on a trivia night so the place was packed, service was a bit slow, and seating was at a premium. Other than that though, I'm glad I came. Every beer I had was great and despite the bustle the bartenders were still welcoming. Would love to come back at a quieter time to reevaluate.

When we arrived @715pm on Saturday night there were 3 other people in the whole brewery. The bartender thought it was more important to finish his conversation with another couple before coming over to help us. Like cmon. Tell them to hold on for a second. Then the beer we had was super mediocre. Won’t be back.
