The Saratoga Beer Summit took over the Saratoga City Center on Saturday February 25th. There were hundreds of craft beers and unlimited samples. I decided to grab a glass and see what sets aside a good craft beer. After having my fair share of samples, I decided to ask event goers their thoughts on what makes a craft beer a good craft beer...

The Albany Patroon's seven foot center, Anthony Allen, has played basketball at a high lever all over the world before landing here in the Capital Region. Allen and his family moved to Bridgeport, Connecticut from Jamaica when he was 16 years old and basketball has been a constant in his life ever since...

It seems every day there's a new wrinkle added to the Astros cheating scandal that gives the city of Houston and Major League Baseball another black eye amidst the biggest scandal the game has faced since steroids. It has now come out that MLB was in fact onto the Astros and warned them about cheating...

A few weeks ago we found out that the Arena Football League was ceasing their operations, ending a league that had put its stamp here on the Capital Region. Less than a year removed from the Empire winning a championship, the city of Albany lost out on a product that brought us all together and unified us under one roof...

Popeyes Chicken Sandwich: What's it worth in the Capital Region?

Last year the Albany Patroons won their first championship in over 30 years when they defeated the Yakima Sunkings 124-114 at the Washington Avenue Armory. Second year head coach Derrick Rowland certainly had his hands full trying to balance the X's and O's wile dealing with the rigors that accompanies being in the front office of any minor league franchise...

ALBANY, NY — The University at Albany football team won handily last week 45-3 in their home opener at Casey Stadium. Fans came from miles to tailgate and soak in the sites and sounds around the UAlbany campus. I've always covered the X's and O's of the actual game, but last week I grabbed a camera and explored what else a game day has to offer. ...

The fact that the Danes played a power five school an held their own in the second half seems promising. As the game wore on it slowed down for UAlbany and they looked like a team that could at least hang.

A few players have already gotten the call up to the next level after starting the season with the ‘Cats. One of those notable players was Seth Beer.

The Cats have now won their last three-out-of-four games after starting the season 1-2 and have moved into second place in the New York Penn League Stedler Division. So far this season Tri-City has averaged over seven runs per game and Thursday night was no exception.

The Dane Train came up just short of playing for a national championship, but they did something this year that has never been done in school history. And it will go down for the ages.

Last year the Danes were knocked out of the tournament in the second round of the NCAA Tournament by Maryland, who went on to win it all. This year the Danes already beat the Terrapins and will be looking to bring home a banner.
