About

F.X. Matt Brewing Co., Inc. is the Utica brewery behind Saranac and Utica Club beers, and it offers a tour that walks guests through the brewing process. Visitors see the brewhouse, the aging cellars and the bottling works before a final stop in the 1888 Tavern.

In the tavern, guests sample the brewery’s beers and soft drinks, and a shop sells clothing and gifts. Utica Club, known for the talking beer-stein mascots Schultz and Dooley in old TV ads, is a piece of local nostalgia, while Saranac has won awards.
