Every year it seems you are lost when trying to figure out the perfect thing to do for mom on Mother's Day. Fortunately for you we all have picky moms too and we have lots of experience in making Mother's Day extra special. Here are our recommendations of things to do with mom for her big day...

As temperatures finally go above 50 degrees, the birds are chirping, and the sun is staying out a little bit longer and brighter, we want to know the first thing you are looking forward to doing this Spring.

Who knew that your dreams could all come true in Saratoga and all in one day! If you missed the Saratoga Beer Summit, which was the capstone event of Saratoga Beer Week, then you really missed out on some great beer and cider too!

Albany area beer connoisseurs were out in full force at the Rare Beer + Cask Ale Event as part of Saratoga Beer Week on Thursday 2/22. A dozen breweries were represented with some of best of the best and of course rare beers. We had some favorites for the night for sure and clearly so did all of the other beer geeks in attendance.

We attended the official kickoff party for Saratoga Beer Week at the Olde Saratoga Brewing Co and had a blast sampling beer and having some pizza from a wood fired oven. If you missed the event dont' worry, there are plenty more happening this week where you can get in on the beer action.

We are big fans of buying local and when we heard that there is an entire evening decided to New York State beers during Saratoga Beer Week, we just had to get our tickets. Some of our favorite local breweries are represented too. We actually have quite a few local breweries and we're lucky to have them, with more on the way. Here are some of our favorite Albany area breweries.

Adam and Eve. Gumby and Pokey. Jekyll and Hyde. Laverne and Shirley. Mary and Rhoda. Pinky and The Brain. Tom and Jerry. Will and Grace. Beer and Wings. Some pairs are just forever in the books of history. Today we look at the quintessential pair of Wings and Beer.

The work week getting you down? Need some good news? What if i told you our friends at Saratoga Festivals said "Happy Hour" is okay but how about a "Beer Week"? February 19th to the 23rd is the Second annual Saratoga Beer Week and our friends AJ and Garth are going to tell you all about it.

Beer. It’s your buddy at the game, with a slice of pizza, on the lawnmower, between frames, and sometimes standing around the grill. It should be your buddy elsewhere too and with just a tad bit of knowledge you’ll be able to have your bff beer with you more often than you do now. When’s the last time someone asked you (or you asked) what wine goes with chicken, or pasta, or any other meal? Forget

If you're new to the beer world you may wonder what the difference between two beers are, especially if they are similar. So what makes a pale ale and an IPA different?

I would love to see you at this event, especially if you know someone or is related to a person who has been been afflicted with ALS, like my late father for example!

The familiar 'typewriter' rhythm of the hit song '9 to 5' kicked off a journey back to a corporate office in New York City in 1979, where a chauvinistic boss was about to be taught a lesson by three secretaries with big dreams and imaginations for a better workplace.
