I travel the east coast of the GREAT USA and stop at many brew pubs and micro-brews along the way. Middle Ages is a must stop.Food is not far away at the Dinosaur. I never get burnt on their ales as they have such a large list of great ales. The staff is always ready to hand you your next ale sample. Thanks to Dave, Matt, Frank,Ian,Frank & Mary. Sujest You bring lots of growlers so you can take home all the flavors.

Any trip to Syracuse just wouldn't be complete without a stop at Middle Ages. Took a friend who only has had a few of their products in bottles and he was blown away. Newest brew is XI Anniversary, a double wheat which could give most breweries' IPA a run for their money. Everything on tap to sample was solid; it just depends what your palate is looking for. Even though we are now seeing MA beers in PA, I made sure to restock for the coming weeks. A Top-10 stop, to be sure.

As a fan of this brewery for the past 3+ years, my wife & I drove almost 4 hours from the Town of Newburgh, (Orange County - NY) to bring back several barrels of their beers, which we feature on draught at our bar, The Golden Rail Ale House. As we parked the van in front of the unassuming brick brewhouse, the waft of spent grain was obvious. Brewmaster Tim Butler led us to the office where he introduced us to Marc & Mary Rubenstein. They are as laid back and casual as any brewery owners we've met. The company store/tasting room was our home for the next few hours as we sampled a few great brews (from their stable of 22) and talked about the others. Despite a serious cold, my wife could still discern the aroma and flavor of the Raspberry Ale, while I opted for the "Kilt Tilter" Scotch Style Ale, followed by an excellent ESB called "Old Marcus." As a Ringwood yeast brewery, the strain imparts some flavor characteristics which are very distinctive, as evidenced by their "Impaled Ale." This has been a house favorite since we first put it on draught. It's their flagship for good reason, it's terrific. If you're in the area, check this place out. If you're not in the area but find their beer, buy it!

Congratulations to Middle Ages for making it to 10 years. This place is awesome! Conveniently located just a few blocks from Armory Square makes this an easy stop for me when in town. The staff is always super friendly and quick to offer a sample of their latest creation. X Anniversary Ale is tremendous! Keep up the great work. Nice gift shop and I like the cats.

Middle Ages consistantly rolls out high quality beer of all styles; I can't think of any that don't tickle my taste buds. The staff is always ultra friendly and engaging (happy birthday, Mary Anne!) and not afraid to spread around the samples. The latest new creation, X, is wonderful--hugely hoppy, malty and potent. Everyone, raise a glass to Middle Ages on their 10th year, and here's to many, many more!!

There aren't enough brewers who will venture outside the boundaries of "true to style" and even fewer who are so rampantly talented at it as Middle Ages. There's no sense in trying to offer my impressions of any one of their creations in this format because there really is only one message I need to get across: Go try their beer. It's only a tasting room at the brewery, no meals, no frills, but don't be discouraged. The atmosphere is welcoming and you will never be without a beer in your hand. My glass is raised to Marc, Mary and the rest of the staff. (Marc if your reading this, you may be a case of the student surpassing the master … a compliment to both you and A.P.) Long live the Ringwood strain.

Fortunate to be in the area and, of course, stopped in. There were 7 offerings in the tasting room, with 6 additional varieties available for growler fills. At a cost of $6-10 for a fill if you already have a growler, this is the best bargain around! I tried everything on tap (forgot how much I like the White Knight, with so many to choose from, it sometimes gets lost in the shuffle) and took lots of growlers along for a beach trip with friends. Please bring your beers to Pennsylvania!

It's been a while since I have been up that way so I was glad to get a chance to stop by for some great brews! The staff was also great to sit and talk to while sampling some great brew.

The IPA in my opinion is one of the best I've tasted. The Cohumulone did it's job well.

Had an interesting conversation with some fellow beer lovers. The topic was "what places can you count on all the beers being great"? Middle Ages was my contribution to the discussion. From the lightest to the strongest, they're always a treat! Which makes it even more frustrating to live in PA and have no access to these fine ales. The Wailing Wench is my newest favorite, that is, until I crack open a bottle of Duke or Grail or whichever. I'm getting ready to try a cellared bottle of Druid Fluid in the next few days. Keep up the great work at Middle Ages!

I haven't had better microbrewed beer anywhere in Upstate NY. I've tried all their beers - these guys are experts. Especially sublime are Bitter Beast, and the more refined/balanced Syracuse Pale Ale. If you're in town, pick up a keg.

Some people will diss anything that's made by a Ringwood brewer, regardless of quality...

Diacetyl abounds. Cheap hops, loaded with cohumulone. Some people will drink anything that's made by a small brewer, regardless of quality, and Middle Ages seems to cater primarily to them. Life is too short to drink indifferently made beers, whether they're made by an industrial company or a small brewer. Give this one a wide berth.

ok, if you have not had a middle ages beer you don't know what you have been missing! Being from the cuse I have had the pleasure of trying the whole arsenal over and over again. The Druid, impaled and tilt are a must try!

Stopped in last week with some friends, we had a great time sampling the full line of Middle Ages beers. Took home growlers of porter, British triple, and Imperial stout. No excuses, beervolk: if you're in the area, STOP IN SYRACUSE.

Middle Ages is a fantastic brewery!! They have a british style triple on tap that is delicious! The brewery alone is well worth the trip to Syracuse! If you haven't gone...go quickly...you are missing out!

Drank through a case of ImPaled Ale this week with the help of some family: outstanding beer. Rock-solid malt and ester base provide an anchor for some ravingly good hopping. The most popular beer of the week, and rightly so.

Well, yeah, I LIKED this place. As has been noted, Marc and Tim are great guys who know what they're doing and are brewing for all the right reasons. I dropped by earlier this month and had a nice "tap-dance" session with them, trying a little bit of everything. I particularly liked the Duke of Winship Porter, which I'd never had before. And YES, this is a Ringwood brewery, and they're damned proud of it. It's a great yeast, and you can make excellent beers with it: here they are! Marc was bummed he didn't have anything on cask, so he called over to the Blue Tusk and set me up with a complementary pint of cask IPA. Thanks, Marc, and it was delicious.

I have not visited the brewery, but have enjoyed the White Knight Light Ale when visiting Saugerties, NY.Great body, nice hop profile.One of the best "light" ales I have come across in the East. Thanks.

Middle Ages produces some of the best english style ales in the world. Marc and especially Tim do a great job. They always stop and say hi while and are more than willing to show you around the brewery if they have the time. Old Marcus and Kilt Tilter are unbelievable. For a brewery that produces around 16 or so different beers a year there isn't even just one thats OK, there all great. Keep up the good work.
