Well, clearly there's still a long way to go for craft beer adoption in Upstate New York, but the signs are good overall, according to this article and video from WKTV in Utica. I especially enjoyed this quote regarding the increase in craft beer sales:
"I think it's a change in their overall tastes," said Craig Martell. "I think that people just want to try different things. I mean, I've got beers here that are banana nut bread, ones that are 23% alcohol."
A beer that is "banana but bread?" Hmmm, interesting. Looks like I have something new to try, perhaps? How about a banana nut bread beer that is also 23% alcohol? That'd get you peeled.
