F.X. Matt Brewery Fire - Utica, NY

F.X. Matt Brewery Fire - Utica, NY 13501 - The Observer-Dispatch A Utica landmark caught fire recently: the FX Matt Brewery. Known for it's Utica Club and Saranac beers and softdrinks. When I was a kid, we used to tour the brewery at least a couple times a year, ride the trolley and get a root beer at the end. The community and beyond has given incredible support to the company. Other breweries have offered to bottle for them. Governor Patterson, our senators and the Utica Mayor have all offered their support. The residents of the community have come out in full force for the weekly brewery festivities and are buying a few more beers in support. Even I went out and bought a six of Saranac Caramel Porter. Funny how this company has created such fierce loyalty.
