Beer Birthday: Nick Matt

May 21, 2024 By Jay Brooks

saranac
Today is the 79th birthday of Nick Matt, chairman and CEO of F.X. Matt Brewing in Utica, by the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York. The brewery was originally founded in 1888, and their main brand today is Saranac. Nick is an active member of the beer industry, and especially through the Brewers Association, and a big supporter of the community as a whole. Join me in wishing Nick a very happy birthday.

    I’ve partaken of some of their bottled Saranac varieties over the years during my trips to the DC suburbs/VA Beach. Their everyday ales are quite drinkable, tho a bit lighter & less hoppy than most of those CA/OR/WA craft breweries produce. Just checked their website & noticed label redesign & some new products that I hope to find when back there next month.

    Nice to see a new addition to the birthday list – happy soixante-neuf, Nick!

    Happy belated birthday Nick. I’m just trying to catch up with old friends. We served aboard the Macdonough way back when. Drop me an email if you want.
