    I've been looking forward to their opening for months and I was so happy that their soft opening today happened to coincide with a visit to the homeland. I have major nostalgia about this place because this brewery is located inside the former Yonder Farms, a beloved market of my childhood! They have retained a lot of the original details of the building including the farm like layout and the red mill! Great parking lot and super easy access off 155. I tried a flight of four ($13). First up the mildly obsessive English Mild, tasty, low ABV and easy drinking. Next up the Hazy IPA: I prefer my IPAs with a bit more citrus and less hop but hop enthusiasts will appreciate this. Next, the Stout- this was excellent! Very smooth and creamy with great caramel, coffee and vanilla notes. Wow, impressed with this one a lot! Porter was not my fav, a bit too roasted. Definitely not an over 21 place with many tables with kids and a toddler crawling on the floor and some kids running around. Atmosphere is a little loud due to the kind of farm/ industrial space and kids but not terrible. Service friendly and kind. Definitely would come back here (maybe later in the evening to avoid the kids) and look forward to enjoying more of the stout and to see what other brews they come up with.

    Great experience here, another welcomed brewery to the area. They have food and other drinks as well making it a well rounded experience. This visit I tried their sour beer - Berry Your Doubts and really loved it. You can also try a beer flight to get a variety. For food I definitely recommend the pretzel or apple & cheddar salad for a lighter bite. The space is open and lots of tables available as well as bar seating, though most were filled the Friday night I was there they seemed to turn over fairly quickly.

    This may possibly be the best brewery in the capital region. Cute, open atmosphere and very pleasant and attentive service. Beers are very good and the food is even better. One of the freshest and most delicious burgers I have had in quite some time and the fries are perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned. Cheese curds are flavorful and the sauces they pair them with are great. Honestly already planning to come back next weekend to try more things.

    New brewery in the old Yonder Farms location. 2nd day open (soft opening on Saturday, November 23, 2025). The owners and staff were very friendly. I had a tasting flight of 4 of their own beers. They were all very good. According to their menu, it looks like some pub grub will also be offered: Pub Crackling, Bavarian Pretzel, Pub Fries, Chicken Fingers, for the apps and Bavarian Burger, Classic Pub Burger, German Brat on a Roll are some of sandwich choices. The location of the place can't be beat. It's on the corner of Albany Street & Rte. 155. At 1PM on their soft opening weekend, it was already busy. Kinks are being worked out as I write this but the vibe seems positive, the beers are on tap, the "shrimps are on the barbie", and they're good to go. I think this will be a very popular place.

    Burger was cheesy and greasy and excellent. Fries were crispy and salty.

    My husband and I were so eager to try this new place right down the road, and it certainly will become a favorite. The owner was kind and chatty. The beer was excellent (try the Joule for something unique and surprising). And the food was decadent and well made. The ambiance was a little factory feeling, so I would love to see them cozy the place up. But overall, a great new place to have in Colonie!

Fidens Brewing Company on Broadway in Albany Each week there's a different wing flavor to try, so whether you're into stepping outside the box or sticking with your favorites, the choice is yours.

Absolutely delicious Outside of the food menu they also have a huge selection of beers, and since I'm definitely not a beer connoisseur, "Mike" behind the bar let me sample a few while breaking down the different flavor profiles which honestly made the experience even better.

Not overly sweet. I could smell the raspberry when I was drinking it. It has vibrant raspberry color too. My favorite dish here is the chili. Not too salty but well seasoned. Perfect consistency. Brussel sprouts are great appetizer. Crispy, not bitter as it is drizzled with balsamic vinegar. My husband had Reuben sandwich. It's good but greasy. You order the food and drink at the bar area. You are given a buzzer that you put on the table. The waiter will come to deliver the food. There's misunderstanding about our salad order. We ordered regular salad but were given a side dish size. The waiter quickly told the kitchen to make regular size salad.

    I have found the best restaurant-made potato chips at Common Roots Brewing in Albany. The thing is,…read moreI wasn't even looking for them. They came free with my Nashville fried chicken sandwich order.They do great deep fryer food. My sandwich was all sorts of crispy, spicy and tangy fun. The space, however, has changed a lot. I remember when it was the Pump Station several years ago. The late owner, Neil Evan, was a fixture there and his seafood Mac & Cheese was something to rave about. By contrast, Common Roots has a more limited menu and plainer furniture. A lot of pizza varieties, tacos, salads and burgers. Decent bar food. By contrast, Common Roots flagship in Glens Falls appears to have a better menu with more variety. I generally eat healthy. I can't eat bar food regularly. The meal was great for a Friday night out. There's also a very good non-alcoholic beverage and drinks menu. I was happy to see all of varieties of stout. The snowy stout was delicious. So was the kombucha. The bar where I sat was clean, sleek and modern. The bartender, who took my order was helpful with suggestions. The main dining area looked a bit sparse for 8pm on a Friday night but the business is still relatively new. I'd like to see an expanded menu with at least a few more healthy choices and some family-friendly selections. Meanwhile, I'll know where to go if I get a craving for awesome freshly made potato chips.

    Great beer and great food. Stopped here after touring the capital and it was a fun,delicious spot.read more

    I absolutely think this place is great!…read more I was introduced to Fallside through a Yelp Event earlier this year. I talked about it so much at work my friends begged to go. We met up for 50 cent wings on Sunday. Yeah, that's right, what is this 2006? 50 cent wings, and they are no joke! Big plump and juicy wings cooked perfectly crispy and generously tossed in sauce with was was described as house-made ranch or blue cheese dressing? My friends really enjoyed them. I had the fried vegetable gyoza and I can't say I've ever had them deep fried before, more like steamed or pan-fried, but this was a game changer! I was really looking forward to the Imposter cheezy jalapeno bites but our server informed us they were out. I love that they have several vegan options on the menu. At the Yelp Event we were fortunate enough to try the vegan pizza and it was honestly one of the best vegan pizzas around the Capital Region. They use Imposter plant-based cheese which is a local product made by a small business in Troy. I love that small businesses are supporting each other like this. The beer is excellent too, we were looking forward to having the red ale since I spoke so fondly of it but it was tapped out. I had a really good mango IPA which hazy doesn't even begin to describe! It's really nice inside and on Sunday it had just become warm enough by mid afternoon, they opened the big garage door and let some fresh air in which was no nice after such a long winter. I think I can speak for my coworkers and I that we will be coming back again soon so please keep those vegan options stocked up!

    I was disappointed that I could not attend Yelp Albany's recent event at Bye-I-now-Fallside Brewery…read morea few weeks ago. So the next time I scheduled a brewery crawl in the area, I made sure to come here. I submitted a business page update regarding the rebranding, but at this point, I don't know whether Yelp will simply rename the existing page or create a new one for Fallside. For the time being, my update goes under Bye-I. The new space is great. I had no idea how much bigger it was until I walked a ways inside, and I was equally impressed by the cool artwork. The beer is, of course, as tasty as before. We seated ourselves in the back to enjoy our pours, and within a couple of minutes, a server dropped off food menus and attended to us the rest of the evening. Had I read my recently obtained copy of the March-April copy of local "True Brew," I would have known that several of their dishes were featured in it, specifically their beef stew and mac & cheese. But I had the Chicken Caprese sandwich, which came with steak fries perfectly cooked and obviously cut in their own kitchen. We were checked on frequently, and as we were finishing up, their Friday evening music session was starting. Food and drink here are reasonably priced, and I feel the quality of both were just as good, or perhaps better, than what you get at "those larger breweries" along Broadway. Of course I'll still patronize them all, but for me, Fallside has the edge in this part of town right now.

Our experience last night was much better service. We had Vicky as our server and she was a delight. So hardworking and caring. You can tell she pours her heart into her job. My major rave about BJ's this trip is the happy hour deals and deals of the week. We were thinking we were going to use a good sit down dinner and we ended up diving into "snacks". We just made it before the end of Happy Hour and we got some spinach artichoke dip and we both ordered personal pizzas. We also took advantage of the $5 wing specials on Wednesday. The spin dip was great but seemed to be missing something. Maybe some spice. The personal pizzas were a bit smaller than we were expecting, but for a $7 special you couldn't go wrong. I had the BJ's classic combo minus olives. It was delicious. The freshest toppings. The wings were a bit disappointing. Maybe because we're from Buffalo... but the dill pickle boneless really didn't have much flavor. The hot honey buffalo didn't seem to show any of those flavors. I almost wonder if they were the wrong flavor. But anyways, cheap deals, great waitress! I'll be back next time I'm passing through. We also loved that even though the place was packed, it wasn't loud! They have designed it well.
