Druthers Brewing Co., which operates a brewpub in downtown Saratoga Springs, will open Druthers II at 1053 Broadway in Albany by New Year’s, according to its Facebook page. Druthers said the Albany location will include a 30-barrel brewery with large pub attached.

My colleague Steve Barnes originally reported Druthers’ plans to open in Albany’s Warehouse District back in January, when it came before the city’s Board of Zoning Appeals. Steve’s report is here. Photos and more details are here.

Druthers was among businesses honored by the U.S. Small Business Administration on Monday at a luncheon at the Desmond Hotel and Conference Center in Colonie.
