Brewing in Troy

The old Stanton Brewery, looking northeast.

At one time, the City of Troy was home to nine breweries. Only two of those nine made it through Prohibition -- Stanton Brewery and Fitzgerald Brothers.

Today, of course, we have Brown's Brewing Company -- complete with its own Taproom restaurant, Malt Room lounge and Revolution Hall event space -- on River Street, just north of the Green Island Bridge.

The old Fitzgerald Brothers brewery, which closed in the late 1950s, also was located on River Street, just off Hoosick Street. 

Stanton was at 5th Avenue and Ferry Street, just down the hill from the current site of RPI's EMPAC complex.
