Lake Placid New York State ☺

 is nestled in the Adirondack Mountains and is globally known for hosting two Olympics. It is well visited by athletes from all over, who come to practice their craft and hone their skills. The Lake Placid area is also well-known to cyclists who in my opinion are very, very brave as they cycle along the road which is also shared by motorist going  45 mph. and more. Lake Placid area is also a favorite with those who love to ride  motorcycles, it’s a pleasure to ride along the winding country roads, while being surrounded by forest, mountains and rivers. Ahhh…..

All in all Lake Placid and area(s) are pretty happening places. If you find yourself in the town of Lake Placid and you enjoy sipping on a great beer, then may we suggest you find your way to The Lake Placid Pub and Brewery. We visit this place every time we come to Lake Placid, it’s a must on our list of things to do. The staff are friendly, the food good and reasonably priced and the beer is made on the premise, full-bodied and good for you… ☺

We recommend the fish and chips with a smile, the fish is perfectly done, it’s not greasy at all with  just enough fries, “home-made” tartar sauce and “home-made” egg & potato salad all for $10:00… ☺

On the Beer front, Ubu is the brand hubby and I enjoy, named after the owner’s much-loved and adored chocolate lab. ☺ The brewery has many different beers on tap and if you aren’t sure which one to order, ask for the samplers, 6 (I think) little glasses of different beers all for you to sample.

This summer we tried Bruce’s Brown Bag Ale and I must say it’s my new favorite, a dark beer, that is smooth going down without a hint of bitterness, actually I would say it’s perfect. We even purchased a jug of it to enjoy back at our campsite… ☺ The Jugs are great as they are only $13:00 to purchase and $10:00 to refill… ☺

You can purchase Lake Placid Brewery’s  regular  (all season)brands in grocery stores and pharmacies too if you can’t make it to the pub…
