The new beer in all its Chocolatey glory

New Beer Is Here

Get ready to try WNY’s newest brew from your local Farm Breweries! During a time when bars and restaurants are struggling with COVID-19 restrictions, businesses are forced to stay creative. Selling cans, bottles, and Crowlers to-go has helped to make ends meet for many area brewers. The collaboration aims to highlight some of the areas smaller breweries, most of which you won’t find in stores.

The Most Fudging Local Beer in WNY

For the first time ever, WNY’s Farm Breweries collaborated to produce an ultra-local NYS Farm Beer using 100% local ingredients. Farm Breweries are craft breweries that are mandated by New York State Law to utilize, at minimum, 60% locally-grown and produced grains, hops, and other ingredients, in each of the beers they make. So while the region has many local breweries, only some are producing local beverages made with local ingredients. Participating Farm Breweries include Rusty Nickel Brewing Co, Big Inlet Brewing, West Shore Brewing, Windy Brew, Five & 20 Spirits & Brewing, Til Brewing/Lilly Belle Meads, and Old First Ward Brewing (OFW is not a farm brewery, but very committed to local). These companies are dedicated to supporting local, which is exactly why they banded together to brew this beer during the pandemic.
