Saranac Brewery Craft Beer and Soft Drinks

Saranac is a historic American beverage brand produced by the Matt Brewing Company. Founded in 1888 in Utica, New York, it stands as one of the oldest family-owned breweries in the United States. The brand is particularly famous for its wide variety of craft beers and its line of traditional sodas, such as Root Beer and Shirley Temple.

The manufacturing for Saranac remains deeply rooted in its original location in Utica, New York. The brewery utilizes high-quality ingredients and traditional brewing methods that have been passed down through generations of the Matt family. This localized production has allowed the brand to maintain its craft identity while expanding its distribution across the Northeastern United States and beyond.

Ownership of the Saranac brand has remained remarkably stable since its inception. It is owned and operated by the Matt Brewing Company, which is currently managed by the third and fourth generations of the family. Unlike many craft breweries that have been acquired by global conglomerates, Saranac remains an independent, family-led enterprise committed to its regional heritage.
