Homemade Mosquito Repellents that works! One made with beer!

Frontier Town has been a work in progress.  Just last year, we posted about ground being broken for Frontier Town.  Now?  It's officially opening for the season and camping this weekend. According to the official Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) site, Frontier Town will be officially open June 28th through Columbus Day...

Honestly, when I saw a recent news article I had to do a double-take.  I really didn’t know a town like this even existed in New York.  Other areas?  Sure.  But in 2019 New York, had no clue. What I’m referring to is a WNYT article about Argyle...

Will a Troy chef and pub-worker be the next Capital Region girl to become a top finalist in a national competition? The 10th season of 'MasterChef', airing Wednesday 6/5/19 at 8 pm on Fox, is going to be including a competitor from the Capital Region...

Through Monday, a crackdown is in effect.  It's Memorial Day weekend, a time to celebrate, to remember and honor veterans past and present, and a time to enjoy.  But, not a time to drink and drive (well, really at no time should you be drinking and driving)...

It's Saratoga Brewfest this Saturday, which made us start to think of, well, beer, and all of the fun that goes with it.  Sure Brewfest maybe all about sampling, but we all remember the days of beer helmets and kegstands too.

Earlier in April, I posted about O'Learys in Troy losing their Liquor License due to underage drinkers.  Well, it looks like yet another Capital Region bar is in trouble. The state is having a big crackdown on underage drinking, and Graney's Stout in North Albany is the next victim...

When I hear the term “Peep Show”, it really makes me think of only one thing.  So, hearing about a new “Peep Show” IPA from New York, I was clearly intrigued.  I mean come on, it sounds like a risque beer experience.  Except, it turned out to be something completely different...

After a ridiculous number of underage drinkers were caught in a sting, one Troy bar is saying good-bye to it’s liquor license. According to news 10 abc, O’Learys in Troy has been busted.  The State Liquor Authority suspended the license after 80 percent of the patrons were found to be under 21 in the sting...

Hot Dogs, sausages, and burgers, oh my! A new gourmet food restaurant is coming to Clifton Park, and seriously, the menu I scoped out online looks delicious.  I read at the Times Union that the Dog Haus Biergarten, a California-based restaurant, is going to be opening a location in Clifton Park...

It sounds like the title of a 1990s movie:  Four bartenders and a manager. Well, actually more like four bartenders and managers are getting together to create a new spot in downtown Albany.  The experienced service staff are coming together to open a new restaurant, according to the Times Union...

It's a football filled Sunday! The Super Bowl of course is today.  The Patriots are playing the Rams, if you're interested in that rivalry.  However, for a lot of people, the Super Bowl is about the experience- the beer, the snacks, the halftime show, and the ads...
