Beer in NY

I found these five on a list from Merchant's Fine Wine in MI, which is like a Costco of awesome beer and wine - their PDF listing all of the beers they carry is 12 pages long!
You can probably Google them for more info to see if they would fit in your story, but the breweries are all based in the state of NY: Pete's Brewing; Southern Tier Brewing; Shmaltz brewing (Kosher beer!); Ommegang brewing; J. W. Dundee

My son lives near Albany, so I've spent time in the area. Beers you'll find in the area include:
Brown's Pale Ale, Porter, or Stout
Genesee beer, Cream Ale, or Light, commonly referred to as "Jenny, Jenny Creme, or Jenny Light"
Cooper's Cave Ale (just north of Albany)
Ithaca Beer
Rohrbach
Saranac
Saratoga White Ale
Maryn, recommending this site, which included invitees to a brewery contest in the Hudson Valley area

You'll find just as many drinking Budweiser and Labatts. They're not local beers, but they sell a lot of the stuff.

Oh, sure, we drink those too. I've got Miller in the house pretty much all the time. It is, after all, the champagne of bottled beers.

My brother lives in Buffalo and drinks Molson Canadian (for obvious reasons). His American friends think Canadian is an exotic import.

I'm from the Albany area, although I live abroad now and only go back in the summer. Saranac is popular, but a little pricy. A cheaper beer I saw some of the younger (college age) folks drinking was Pabst Blue Ribbon - which they call PBR.
