Saranac
As one of the few remaining great American regional breweries,
the Matt Brewing Company has prospered at the foothills of the
Adirondack Mountains in Central New York for over a century. Under
the leadership of the third (Nicholas) and fourth (Fred) generations
of the Matt family, the Brewery has earned the reputation of being
one of the most respected specialty brewers in the country, producing
a variety of distinctive, flavorful beers.
In 1885, young F.X. Matt I, a German-born immigrant, left a promising
career at the famous Duke of Baden Brewery in the Black Forest
region of Germany to travel to the United States with the determination
and dream of owning his own brewery some day. After several years
of brewing experience at the Bierbaur Brewery, F.X. Matt re-organized
the faltering brewery to create The West End Brewing Company in
1888, serving as both the star salesman and brewmaster. The brewery
quickly became one of the largest and most successful of the twelve
breweries operating in Utica at the time.
Today this proud tradition continues with the celebrated Saranac
family of beers - a beer brewed to the same exacting standards
of quality that F.X. Matt established more than a century ago.
