Hi Sandy! These photos were taken before the fire. The brewery has been rebuilt. They do still have tours, and as far as I know, it was only the bottling center that suffered fire damage. Hope that helps answer your questions.

Quite an interesting blend of the old (the room interiors) and the new (the equipment in the factory).

[...] We visited the brewery a few months ago. It is an historic place and very much a part of the city of Utica. The brewery has kept the city going through some very difficult times, by hiring people for work. It has been a stabilizing influence in the city since 1888. [...]

Why, THANK YOU, Tark, for letting me know about the ceiling. I’ll remember that!

It must be awful in those hot Arizona deserts to be devoid of Saranac. I think our tour guide Mr. T said that Saranac was only sold in 10 or 11 states right now.

Thanks for visiting!

Every time I go back to Utica to visit family I make time and attend a brewery tour there. No Saranc here in Arizona, so I need my fix when I go back.

The ceiling you referred to as wood, believe it or not it is actually compressed cardboard. Remember that and you will receive an extra drink ticket as well.

Thanks for visiting, Nikki, and I’m glad you like the photos. I’m not much of a photographer, but I am getting better…. at PaintShopPro, lol.

I’ll keep your info in mind. I’ve never been to a Utica Monday Night, but maybe someday I’ll check it out.

Im pretty sure all ages can go on the tour. In fact, this summer was my first year going and being over 21. Id gone once while I was much much younger, and several times the past few years during utica monday nights (Its free and I know for certain kids can come during utica monday nights! So put it on the summer to do list! lol)

Your pictures all look absolutely magnificent!
