As craft beer markets across the United States consolidate under inflationary pressure, small-batch rural breweries face a clear choice: scale into regional production or double down on local character. Fulton Chain Craft Brewing has committed firmly to the latter.
Its staying power lies in its connection to place. By building its brand on locally sourced hops, state-grown grain, and an unpretentious taproom atmosphere, the brewery remains woven into Old Forge’s seasonal cycle. Whether you are shaking off trail dust in July or hanging up snowmobile helmets in January, the wooden bar on Route 28 continues to deliver an authentic taste of the western Adirondacks.
