Thirsty? Fantastic Breweries Near Western New York

Thirsty pub-goers all over Western New York can agree - local, craft beer is the best.

Craft beer, aka beer produced by a smaller, independent brewery, is one of Western New York’s best exports. When you sip on a cold, local craft beer, you’re not just impressing your palate with unique flavor combinations that came from the mind of a local brewer. Some nutritionists even say that craft beer can even be healthier for you than a traditional, domestic one!

The best reason for ordering a local craft beer at happy hour, though, is the boost you’re giving to Western New York’s economy. By buying local, you’re putting money directly into the pocket of those who made it.

Buffalo is a booming town for craft beer, but you can also find some special brews you’ve never tried before right down the 90 in Rochester, New York. If you’re a fan of local beer looking for something new (and maybe some good food, too!), try one of these great breweries and brewpubs about an hour away from Buffalo.
