You read that right. Hayburner American IPA is now available in 12 packs! We’ve always wanted to offer 12 packs, but until we opened our new production brewery, we just didn’t have the capacity. Now with the new facility up and running, the first new product we wanted to offer was our flagship IPA, Hayburner, in 12 packs. Available now at a store near you! Also available at our taproom and for pickup and shipping (NYS Only).
About Hayburner:
Hayburner is a luscious and citrusy IPA with primary notes of orange, melon and grapefruit, and a slightly earthy finish. It packs a firm bitterness but remains balanced by abundant late hop additions and a soft and airy malt base. 7.2% ABV.

BIG DITCH BREWING COMPANY OPENS NEW PRODUCTION BREWERY IN DOWNTOWN BUFFALO, EXPANDS PRODUCT LINE TO INCLUDE HAYBURNER 12 PACKS
New brewery enables Big Ditch to offer more craft beer options and expand distribution across New York State
BUFFALO, N.Y. –Big Ditch Brewing, one of New York State’s largest craft breweries, has opened a 40-barrel production brewery in downtown Buffalo. The new production-only brewery will more than double its existing production capacity enabling Big Ditch to innovate more craft beers and expand distribution of Big Ditch Bbeer across New York State. Big Ditch Brewing is also announcing that Hayburner American IPA, its one of Western New York’s best-selling craft beers, will now also be sold in 12-pack packages offering customers a better value.
The new 40-barrel brewhouse, located at 101 Oak Street, is double the size of Big Ditch’s 20-barrel brewhouse located at 55 East Huron Street, just a few blocks away. Big Ditch has hired seven additional brewers for the operation of the new brewery. The new Production Brewery will be responsible for brewing and packaging all of the beer Big Ditch sells in 12-ounce cans. This includes larger format 12-packs, which offers its consumers a value option in addition to the 6-packs it currently sells. The increased production capacity will also allow Big Ditch to expand distribution further into Central New York and soon to the Capital Region. Kahn believes that’s just the beginning for Big Ditch.
“For years, our customers have been asking us to sell our beer outside of New York State”, stated Matt Kahn, President and Co-Founder of Big Ditch. “we’re almost ready to make that happen!”
The 55 East Huron Street brewhouse will remain operational, transitioning to an Innovation Brewery focusing on specialty and experimental beers.
“Innovation is paramount for success in the craft beer industry”, stated Matt Kahn, President and co-founder of Big Ditch. “The opening of the new production brewery will free up capacity at our current brewery for innovation while allowing us to keep pace with demand for our signature and seasonal beers.”.
