Brewing in WNY<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to Visit Buffalo Niagara: “Buffalo\u2019s rich industrial past is soaked in beer. In 1919, on the eve of Prohibition, Buffalo was home to twenty-nine breweries and featured more than 8,000 drinking establishments. But it wasn\u2019t until the end of the 20th century that brewing returned to the city with the opening of Flying Bison Brewing Company and Pearl Street Grill & Brewery.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Buffalo area now has 31<\/strong> craft breweries and six distilleries, including Community Beer Works, Hamburg Brewing Company, Resurgence Brewing Company, Big Ditch Brewing, Rusty Nickel Brewing, 42 North Brewing,<\/a> Black Squirrel Distillery and Tommyrotter Distillery among many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Work towards a certificate,  take a class or two, or experience a related event or workshop for fun. Buffalo is all about brewing and Trocaire College has the education, training and events to help you learn more about this growing industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
