CLIFTON PARK, N.Y. — A brewery in Clifton Park is celebrating five years in business, at a time when the craft beer craze continues to grow in New York State.

Beer enthusiasts from around the Capitol Region helped Shmaltz Brewing Company celebrate its fifth year of business this weekend.

The state is home to over 1,000 craft beer companies, and Shmaltz owner Jeremy Cowan says he's happy to be a part of it.

"We invite over a dozen breweries to our anniversary party each year; an incredible array of flavors, different places from all the way down in the city to all the way up in Lake Placid today, so a lot of New York State and it's exciting,” said Cowan.

The company says it’s planning on expanding to other areas of New York soon.
