Crossroads Brewery: Athens NY

On Memorial Day weekend, Ms. Garlic and I decided to take a trip to the Hudson Valley. On the way down, we decided to check out the Crossroads Brewing Company in Athens (across the river from Hudson). I'm a big fan of their Outrage IPA, a nicely balanced west-coast style that is commonly available in Albany. As it turns out, they've opened a nice pub in a newly renovated building. We can't say a great deal about the food, since we just split a salad, although it was really good -- real greens (not just iceberg or romaine) with other fresh veggies and a nice homemade vinagrette. For the "main course," we decided to try the above-pictured flight of six beers. All were at least decent. I was particularly impressed with the lovely Black Rock Stout and the Abbey Road Dubbel, with the Homewrecker 2xIPA a close third. Ms. Garlic was also a big fan of the Brick Row Red, which I also quite liked. I wasn't overwhelmed...
