BALLSTON SPA — Back Barn Brewing, located in the historic Abner Doubleday house, celebrated its grand opening last Friday.
The event included a ribbon-cutting ceremony hosted by the Ballston Spa Business & Professional Association, live music by Phillip Shaver, and a Fired Up Pizza food truck.
“For more than five years, the Doubleday House has served as a welcoming gathering place for this community—first as The Real McCoy and now as Back Barn Brewing Co.,” said the Ballston Spa Business Association in a social media post. “It’s where friendships have grown, milestones have been celebrated, and those traditions will carry on for years to come.”
Back Barn’s draft list included the 12-Pointer IPA, You-Da-Boss Sour Ale, Brigid Red Ale, and the KCA Amber Ale. Also on the menu: canned cocktails from Albany Distilling, Nine Pin Cider, Montezuma Winery Table Red, and the Goose Watch Pinot Grigio.
Back Barn has a handful of events scheduled for this month and next, including karaoke night on April 24, open mic poetry night on April 30, and open mic music night on May 1 (with the Fired Up Pizza truck making another appearance).
