Troy Brewing Co. - City of Troy

This spot is known for good beer, a stellar friendly staff, and so many fun ways to share your time with friends while visiting (coloring, old school video gaming, andlive music oh my! We loved visiting the outdoor patio space for drinking while rocking to live music, with easy access to food truck parking. The beer list contains a nice variety of styles which met the variety of tastebuds in our group. Also love that this place features rotating guest taps, wine, cider, canned cocktails and kombucha, too. So many local brands are featured and promoted in this spot. Visiting Rare Form again is for sure on the 2023 Summer Goals list I 've heard good things about their pizza and I think we need to test the what goes better with good beer? theory v. soon.

The day I was here I had visited a few other local breweries. This one was the smallest in terms of size and beers offered, but it was also the most casual, and most friendly in terms of ambiance. They had more beers of interest to me here than at the others I visited today. This was, for me, the perfect brewery at which to wind down for the day.

Decent beer but a very cool atmosphere. They do have wine from a tap so that is cool if you like wine.

A home run at the first establishment we tried in Troy. Amazing craft beer 3 blocks from our air bnb. I'm not a big beer drinker but I know I like brown ales that are dry. Bam! 3/3 on my flight and 1 cider for my husband. Extensive collection and fun bar snacks (we got popcorn). Very small crowd for a Friday night but river fest is tomorrow. Good crowd, literally all ages, shapes and sizes. Lovely light colored wood, a few outdoor tables, varied types of seating and the requisite board games as well as a separate gamer room. Apparently a CSA Delivers here as well. How can you top that? This place is awesome.

Downtown Troy has become a fantastic place to walk around and get good drinks, good food, and have a great time. In just a few blocks span, you have multiple breweries, and some of the higher rated restaurants in the Cap.Reg. Rare Form is among these breweries and although I only stopped in for a little while and had one beer, I had to comment that it was great. They only seemed to have one IPA on tap this evening, so I had to have it: MOXIE DOUBLE IPA 8% ABV Distinctly smooth and decidedly different. This beer drinks like a fluffy screwdriver but finishes nice and dry leaving your palate ready for more. Hints of orange, tangerine and clementines. It was fantastic and unique. It would definitely stand out against other beers. We attempted to attend trivia here one evening, and we couldn't get a spot. The tap room here is teeny tiny. With standing room only, we at least enjoyed a beer before walking to the next stop of the night. I would certainly recommend stopping in and giving your favorite style beer a try!
