Join Deluxe Brewing in the taproom each Wednesday night in December from 6-8 PM for Board Game Night! Customers of all ages and game-playing abilities are welcome and there is no cost to participate. We have a number of game boards and card decks available in our taproom though you are welcome to bring your own.
Come to learn to play new games with fellow customers, have a pint or seasonal cocktail and plenty of fun with friends new and old. Test out your own new games with friends before hosting your own game night this holiday season, or try out one of the games brought in by our Board Game Expert, Tom Lathos, who has never-before-played games to test out for customers.
Deluxe Brewing is open to all ages and is always pet-friendly. The taproom serves craft beer, house spirit cocktails, cider, wine and soda. The Deluxe Food Cart is also open throughout the event time for dinner orders.

May is dedicated to National Preservation Month. Also known as Historic Preservation Month, the month celebrates the nation’s heritage through historic places.
Albany is home to four national historic districts and the location of the most varied collection of architectural styles in the state. There are more than 800 historic buildings in three of the districts, dating from the 1840s to the 1950s, and all located within an area of approximately 100 square blocks.
Come and celebrate the heritage of Albany by participating in various events and exploring historic places all month long.
Events will include the Annual Tweed Ride, Walking History Tours, Building Tours, Vintage Bicycle Show, the Hidden History Scavenger Hunt, and more!

To provide a more accepting and comfortable setting for individuals on the autism spectrum or with sensory sensitivities and their families, we will slow the carousel down to a jog and turn off the organ music.

It’s happy hour! Every Wednesday from 3PM-4PM at the Historic Carousel & Museum, ride tokens are just $1 and drinks in the cafe are 1/2 price, sponsored by Bish’s RV.
