F.X. Matt Brewing Company is a family-owned brewery in Utica, New York. It is the fourth oldest family-owned brewery in the United States, having brewed beer since 1888. Its most popular product is the Saranac line of beers; soft drinks such as root beer and ginger beer are also sold. The FX Matt Brewing Company is the only brewery in America to have three district tours in craft beer: 1) Our founder, FX Matt, was making craft beers pre-Prohibition (including his West End IPA (AKA Legacy) in1914) 2) The “Utica Club” brand was notably crafty for the WWII era, having made a large variety of styles 3) Finally, we came full circle back to our craft roots when we initiated the Saranac brand in the mid-80’s. Why does all of this matter? It Means we’ve got a whole lot of expertise in the craft space. Today, the company is headed by the third and fourth generations of the Matt family, Nick, Fred, and Nick.
