TROY, N.Y. -- In Troy, Brown’s Brewing Company tapped its own special Quadricentennial beer in honor of the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson's exploration of the area. Mayor Harry Tutujian was hand to enjoy an ice cold pint and toast what he says is going to be a great and busy summer in the Collar City.

"We're very proud of the attention that's come to Troy based on all of these events, those events have helped attract new and potential businesses to relocate to our city. As we all talk about the new barbecue place that's rumored to be coming to Troy, they want to be here because of what we're doing here, because of the wonderful people of the Capital District that support us," said Mayor Tutunijan.

And there will be a lot going on. The Troy pig-out is back, as well as the Annual River Street Festival, the Rockin' On The River Concert Series and ChowderFest.
