It is quite good. Not as good as Blue Point Blueberry Ale, but still good.

curious as to what kind of menu siro's is gonna offer to track patrons.

beer garden, sounds like a good idea for those who don't want to lug in a cooler, just not my cup of tea @ $5 a beer.

interested to see what El Verano Taqueria is all about as well

Saranac is not a craft beer, and none of them are awesome. Oh yea, and it's made in Utica.

Exactly. Saratoga has done a great job upgrading its food/drink options the past few years, but 12 mediocre beers and two tents doesn't make something a "beer garden".

I'm planning on driving up for a few weekends.

Where are the best deals on hotels within about a half hour to an hour away?

Amsterdam is typically the safest bet I'm aware of for a resonable hotel at cheaper than Erie prices... but on occasion all the hotels in that fine city are booked on the weekend.
