Resurgence Brewing Co. expects to
use its Niagara Street site for research and development when it shifts brewing
and sales to South Buffalo.
Resurgence
recently announced its plans for a new location at 55 Ohio St., across town in
the Old First Ward.
Anna Ellis, brewery social media
and marketing manager, says the 1250 Niagara St. will be downsized and serve as
the hub of innovation and research and development for Resurgence.
Resurgence’s new location will be
the home to its brewing facility,
canning station, storage and distribution center.
“Having a separate location
dedicated to experimenting with new beer styles and trends will allow us to
bring new beers to the market at a much faster rate,” Ellis says.
The Old
First Ward site is
being redeveloped by Ellicott Development Co. and will feature an open-air beer
garden, distillery, rock climbing facility and apartments.
Resurgence will be in the Pattern
Building, which will be the only part of the building that is going to be
salvaged. The rest of the complex is planned to be demolished and rebuilt.
Resurgence also had plans for a Batavia
location but will be putting those on hold. By
