The Warehouse
Druthers Albany opened in 2015. This second location is housed in a warehouse that was originally constructed in 1901. The sheer size of this location (over 17,000 square feet) allows Druthers to produce enough beer for its restaurant and off-premises sales program.. Since more than a few people have asked, Druthers Albany really is in Albany. Confusion is caused by the fact that zip codes do not follow political boundaries; the north side of Albany and Menands share 12204.
