Sitting down with, first-ever return guest, Tom Whitmarsh of the Western New York Beer Trail, joined by Kenzi, for a post-Thanksgiving, Black Friday deep dive into the state of craft beer in WNY.

Fueled by Brickyard Brewing’s Fireside Flannel s’mores stout, Green State Lager, and West Shore Brewing’s Black Crayon Sour, the crew reflects on how 2021 rebounded from the chaos of 2020, the growth and success of the WNY Beer Trail, and why Buffalo’s craft beer scene is far from oversaturated.

We dig into brewery “neighborhoods,” regional beer loops, and why distinct personalities, styles, and spaces make each stop feel like a completely different experience. The conversation also explores Buffalo’s brewing history, Prohibition-era vibes, speakeasies, and the resurgence of historic brewing spaces across the city.

Looking ahead, Tom breaks down what’s new for the 2022 Beer Trail Pass, including exciting additions like One-Eyed Cat Brewing, Steel Leaf Brewing, Spotted Octopus Brewing, and Southern Tier Brewing’s Buffalo location — plus the brand-new trail map that makes planning brewery adventures easier than ever.

It’s part beer talk, part local history, part road-trip planning, and fully Buffalo.

🍺 Cheers to growth, great beer, and chasing the trail.
