Five different NEIPAs consumed over two days, an each one totally in the style. Fidens could well be Bier Paradise, and makes a stay in Albany NY a must.
Located a walkable distance to the north of Downtown, the southernmost of the brewing cluster featuring: Fort Orange Brewing, Nine Pin Cider Works and Druthers Brewing Co., Fidens was found to be the outstanding venue. On Day 74 we sat in the rear of the premises, Day 75 being a Sunday, was quieter, we sat in the front, initially at the bar. By that time we had made connection with the staff. In RTW-80, Fidens has to go down as a veritable highlight.
