We went down to 50 Elk Street in Buffalo, to an historic grain building to talk to Joel and Dylan Betti about the newly-opened Briar Brothers Brewing Company. We were treated to 7 different offerings from a wide range of styles including not just IPAs, sours, and seltzers, but also a blonde, a brown ale, and an imperial stout. The building itself was beautiful and full of local brewing malt history and the Betti brothers have been hard at work creating a fun atmosphere to compliment the aesthetic. Just minutes from multiple breweries in a 2-square-mile block, take some time this Summer to Check out Briar Brothers Brewing Company.

Dom, Ken, Barb, and many of their friends and family have come together to bring a brewery to Allentown. Located at 41 Edward Street, Spotted Octopus is a comfortable space featuring 12 taps and quirky, upcycled furniture. We sat down with Dom and Ken to talk about a handful of their beers that they hope to have on tap when they open later this Spring.

We talked about how they came up with idea, the name, and the beer styles. We were hit in the face with a peach and pepper beer and warmed with a winter warmer and vanilla porter.

It's been a long time since One Eyed Cat showed up on the scene, and yet, with multiple setbacks, they haven't had a space to show for it. So after years of pop-ups, festivals, events, and any other chance they could use to pour their beers, they have finally landed on Main Street in Williamsville. The Buffalo Beer League and WNY Brews took a ride to the former "Pairings Wine Bar" to see the new home of One Eyed Cat. And a home they found, complete with a living room, bar, and outdoor patio with a fire pit. There's a coziness to the new space that OECB is eager to take advantage of when they open next Spring.

In this episode, we taste some beers, talk about business philosophy, and whatever else pops into our heads while drinking thirteen percenters.

In this episode, we discuss 1976 Godziskie with John Domres from Buffalo Brewing Co.

It's a traditional Polish style made with up to 100% oak-smoked wheat malt. It's a surprisingly refreshing beer on a hot day and a staple of Dyngus Day at Buffalo Brewing Company.

We go over the style, history, name, ingredients, process, and more in this deep-dive into a local favorite. John also shares his brewing philosophy and the future beers from Buffalo Brewing Co.

Brian, Scott, Mark, and Jesse talk about the best beers they've had in 2020. It's obviously been a really weird year, but the beer put out by local breweries during the pandemic has been a bright spot in an other-wise dark time. Some of the highlights include the Resurgence Social Distance Series, Thin Man's Coconut Jenkins, The Simpson Series from West Shore and Eli Fish, and others. It's 45 minutes of reminiscing about the best of the best in 2020.
