MILES ON THE 90 "WEST COAST-STYLE IPA" BEER RELEASE - FRIDAY 2/24

This one is for all the West Coast IPA fans out there!

If you're like us, and this weather has you dreaming about hitting the road for long weekends and scenic views this summer, we've got the perfect beer for you.

"Miles on the 90" is inspired by the inevitable part of any New York State road trip, when the music becomes background noise and the scenery fades away into a passing blur of endless fields and muted colors, and all we can think about is how good that first beer will taste when we finally get to where we’re going. This West Coast-style IPA, brewed with Mosaic and Talus hops, and brimming with grapefruit flavor and clean, refreshing bitterness, won’t let you down. 7.0% ABV.

Draft and cans will be available at our tap room beginning Friday, February 24 at 11AM. Stop in or order online. Limited distribution the following week.

WNY ECLIPSE!

We're pleased to announce the upcoming release of WNY ECLIPSE Black IPA. This beer is a partnership with the Buffalo Museum of Science to help you properly (and safely) experience the once-in-a-lifetime Solar Eclipse happening over the skies of Western New York on April 8th.

Available in stores in early March, each 6-pack of WNY ECLIPSE Black IPA will include one FREE pair of Eclipse Viewing glasses! You can also scan the QR code on the carton to find answers to all of your Eclipse related questions. 

THE BEER:

“WNY Eclipse” is a Black IPA brewed for the total solar eclipse that will occur over the skies of Western New York on April 8, 2024. This event is so special, and so rare (the next total solar eclipse won’t happen over WNY until 2144!) that we wanted to brew a special beer to highlight and celebrate its significance. We thought this black IPA, which balances powerful orange, grapefruit, and pine hop flavors with complex roasted and toasted malt flavors, would be appropriate for this unforgettable occasion. To enjoy this beer fully, crack open a can moments before the celestial event, place the included solar viewing glasses over your eyes, and enjoy the total eclipse experience. 

Available March 2024.

RELEASE PARTY:

Celebrate the release of WNY Eclipse at “Science After Hours: Eclipse” at the Buffalo Museum of Science on March 1st, 2024.  This adults-only night of celestial-themed activities and demonstrations with Museum staff and partners will explore all things eclipse. Pick up your free pair of eclipse viewing glasses and be amongst the first to try WNY Eclipse Black IPA!  Tickets for this event are available here:  https://www.sciencebuff.org/event/science-after-hours-eclipse/
