HALFMOON - Hank Hudson Brewing occupies a significant part of the Fairways of Halfmoon buildings. As one walks into the brew pub, it’s obvious that the owners are proud of their craft. On the right side of the bar and dining room are eight stainless-steel fermenter tanks, each about six feet tall on four-foot industrial bases. It’s an impressive operation that looks ready to put out a number of beers, both popular and experimental. The fermenter tanks take up about half of the brew pub.

Pint-Sized - John Norris spotlights Capital Region beer and brewpubsPINT SIZED - As an early Gen Xer, I was way ahead of the game when it came to appreciating highly hopped beers. In the late 1980s, I spent a college semester living and studying in London, where I was first introduced to brewpubs and learned the history of IPAs.While at the Polytechnic of North London, I was a bartender in a pub called the Black Lion on Bayswater Road across the street from Kensington Gardens.

I’m a longtime Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC) attendee. I walked across its stage in 1983 for my high school graduation from Shenendehowa. Since then, I’ve seen dozens of shows and a lot of changes. On Sunday, my girlfriend and I left the Hozier show during the opening act. It wasn’t a show we'd normally go to, but for Christmas she bought us “Lawnie” — unlimited lawn passes — for the second year in a row; so what the heck? It's a nice way to see new music with which we may not be familiar.

A cross-section of Albanians filed through the Concourse to the base of The Egg last week, where they piled into high-capacity, rounded elevators. The elevators opened into the Hart Theater lobby, which looks just like you’d think the inside of The Egg would from the outside of The Egg—Rockefeller-era, brutalist architecture. Think Soviet, softened with Danish wood trim.
