Adirondack Brewery: Dirty Blonde Ale, Fat Scotsman
Brewery Ommegang: Ommegang White, Rare Vos
Butternuts Beer & Ale: Country Gold Saison
Captain Lawrence Brewing: Extra Gold American Tripel, Liquid Gold
Chatham Brewing Co.: Maple Amber

Ithica Beer Co. - Don't remember what we had

the Captain Lawrence Brewing: Extra Gold American Tripel was the only beer that "wow-ed" me. And the second best was probably, Sixpoint Craft Ales: Mason's Black Wheat.

You need to try the Brooklyn Black Ops. It's the intensified stout, but aged in bourbon barrels and re-fermented later. It's super tuff - but also kind of rare. Trappeze got just a few bottles, but I'd image that you could get it there much easier.
Also, what all did Ommegang bring? They have some awesome stuff.
