TROY, N.Y. » The Troy Craft Beer Committee officially kicked off the 5th annual Troy Craft Beer Week.

Highlighti­ng the Collar City’s strengths, including walkabilit­y, bike-ability, and strong civic pride, Troy Craft Beer Week’s lineup of events will show you a different side of the burgeoning city.

Multiple events are scheduled every night between July 29 and Aug. 3, encouragin­g participan­ts to “Get Movin’ “and experience Troy’s many bars, breweries, and restaurant­s by foot, bike, and boat.

The week’s schedule of events reflects the ongoing efforts of the Troy Craft Beer Committee’s pinball initiative, bringing craft beer fans

to town to visit a variety of locally- owned craft beer establishm­ents for a wellrounde­d experience, organizers noted.

Each night will feature a different theme and tell a different story about the

city’s small business excellence.

On Tuesday, participan­ts can take part in “Take Me Out to The Ballgame” with burgers, hot dogs, and ice cream at Nighthawks, the Ruck, and Rare Form Brewing Co., respective­ly.

Wednesday’s “Beer Boot Camp” commences at Franklin Alley Social Club with a Mind, Body & Brews

yoga & fitness trivia night featuring Anatomie Gym.

On Thursday, people can enjoy “Rare Brews & Exquisite Treats” during the annual Rarest Form & Friends tap takeover with impossible- to- find beers from Troy and beyond.

“OG Night” on Friday gives a fun and festive overhaul to Troy’s Franklin and Church Street al

leyways and a celebratio­n of the longtime veterans in the upstate craft beer industry at the Ruck.

And finally, “Sail Away” on Saturday with a mobile can launch from Sloop Brewing Co. at Troy Discount Beverage, and an epic Craft Cruise on the Captain JP III luxury cruise liner featuring 25 amazing New York craft
