Welcome to WNY Brews! On this week’s episode, Scott and Brian talk about some exciting events and news in the Western New York beer scene.
First up, tickets are now on sale for the New York State Craft Brewers Festival: Buffalo, which returns to Canalside on June 22. This year, the festival will feature craft beer from over 50 breweries across the state. Attendees will have the chance to meet the brewers, enjoy live music, explore a food truck rodeo, shop with vendors, and even catch live wrestling by Grapple Pro. New this year are GA+ tickets, which include early access, a souvenir tasting glass, and a $5 merch voucher. Tickets can be purchased online, and hard copy tickets are available at Resurgence Brewing, Big Ditch, Wayland Brewing, and Britesmith. Plus, $1 from each ticket will benefit the P.U.N.T Pediatric Cancer Collaborative.
Next, One-Eyed Cat Brewing in Williamsville is celebrating its second anniversary on June 1 with a full day of festivities. Enjoy live music from Whiskey Trick (2-5pm) and Ransom Road (6-9pm), shop local vendors, and savor BBQ sundaes from Pork Bellies BBQ. There will also be a special anniversary beer release. The family-friendly event is free and open to the public.
The Buffalo Beer Geeks are kicking off their summer Scavenger Hunt on June 27 at Nickel City Brewz from 5-9pm. The launch party will feature a quadruple tap takeover by Strangebird Beer, Noble Shepherd Craft Brewery, Old First Ward Brewing, and Buffalo Brewing Company, which have collaborated on a special brew for the event. Enjoy music from Mike West and food from Molly’s Wood Fired Pizza. Sign up for the scavenger hunt via the BBG Facebook group, with prizes to be announced soon.
In honor of the Village of Hamburg's 150th anniversary, Hamburg Brewing has crafted a special beer named ‘1874.’ This American Wheat Ale, modeled after the original White Corner Wheat recipe, boasts a 5.3% ABV and is brewed with Pilsner and Wheat malts, and Herkules, Perle, and Citra hops. It will be available on draft and in 12oz. 6-pack cans for $10.99 and $39.99 per case.
The Nickel Plate, an artisan market inside the Niagara Frontier Food Terminal, will hold its grand opening on May 18. Featuring over 120 vendors with locally made products, a restaurant, and a bar, the market will offer draft beers at $1 off and a $10 gift card for every 10th visitor. The 10 rotating taps will feature selections from local breweries including 42 North Brewing, Community Beer Works, and more.
Lastly, Resurgence Brewing and 42 North Brewing will be part of the Erie County Parks Department's Pints in the Park Program.
