The quaint lake towns of the northern Adirondacks are known for the amazing array of great activities, from hiking and biking to, of course, paddling and boating. It seems that everywhere you look here, you'll find bright, sparkling water teasing you to dive in. But these towns are also home to fantastic spots where craft beer and curated collections of offerings from around the world are celebrated and these hotspots are great for diving into, as well.

From a quiet lakeside lodge to a bustling spot in the center of downtown, the breweries and pubs in the region between Saranac Lake and Long Lake are fun and super flavorful.

As always, please drink responsibly. Be aware of alcohol content, bring your favorite designated driver along, and don't drink and drive. Be safe and have fun!
