As the craft beer
industry continues to grow in Buffalo, breweries on the West
Side disagree on
inventory for the fall season. Resurgence Brewing Co., which opened on
Niagara Street in late June, embraces the change with autumn.
Featuring beers with the popular fall flavors, such as pumpkin, Alex
Jordon, account
manager, explains the goal to produce a good transitional beer as
the weather moves
from hot summer days to a cooler fall afternoon. Around the corner is
Community Beer Works, a brewery
with a different perspective on the seasonal changes. President and co-founder Ethan Cox explains how they don’t
believe in drinking
seasonally. Despite the
differences, the leaders at both
breweries say they support each other and feel that ultimately
they can work
together to help strengthen the power of local craft breweries in Buffalo. By Ryan Gilliam and Nicole Montanino
