Introducing: NA Burner

Big Ditch Brewing Company is proud to announce the release of NA Burner, the first non-alcoholic brew canned in Buffalo in nearly a century, since the days of Prohibition.

“Our goal was to produce a beer for a growing collection of customers that wanted to drink a hoppy and delicious IPA without the effects of alcohol. We feel we’ve achieved this goal with NA Burner,” said Matt Kahn, President and co-Founder of Big Ditch Brewing Company.

NA Burner packs all the hoppy aroma and flavor of Big Ditch’s best-selling flagship India Pale Ale, Hayburner, into a refreshingly drinkable non-alcoholic IPA, without sacrificing any of the bold taste. 

A 12 oz can of NA Burner contains less than 0.5% alcohol by volume and is only 50 calories.

 “The release of NA Burner is a testament to Big Ditch Brewing Company’s relentless pursuit of innovation,” stated Kahn. “Producing a non-alcoholic beer is very different than producing alcoholic beer. This beer is the result of nearly 2 ½ years of research. It represents our unending ambition to be the best brewing company we can be,” added Kahn.

NA Burner is available beginning Friday, November 8 in 6-packs of 12 oz cans at Big Ditch Brewing Company’s taproom at 55 East Huron St. in downtown Buffalo. The beer will also be available at craft beer retailers and supermarkets across Western New York.

10 YEARS OF SELLING BEER!

Today, October 16th, 2024, marks the 10 year anniversary of the first day that we began selling Big Ditch Brewing Company beer. (The proof is here: www.bigditchbrewing.com/bigditchbrewing/2014/10/final-thoughts-and-thanks.html)

While brewing the beer has been great of course, it's the people we've met along the way that have really made the last 10 years special. And, just like back then, we're still so happy, excited, humbled, and very, very appreciative of all the support we've received from Western New York and beyond, in helping make our dreams become a reality. 

They say the days are long and the years are short when you own a small business - but, while yes, we are a little older - we think you can see in our faces that we're still having as much fun doing what we love today as we were having 10 years ago.

Once again - we thank you. Cheers! - Corey & Matt

(ps - We love that we took this picture in Lockport! It's like we knew!)

TURKEY TROTTER is back for the 3rd consecutive year!

We’re proud to announce that TURKEY TROTTER is back! We’ve partnered with YMCA Buffalo Niagara for the third consecutive year to bring you the perfect finish line beer - TURKEY TROTTER! Turkey Trotter Blonde ale was brewed to celebrate The YMCA Turkey Trot, which is the world’s oldest consecutively run footrace, and a Buffalo tradition since 1896. Turkey Trotter, a refreshing blonde ale featuring crackery malt flavor and light hoppy fruit flavor, is the first beer brewed specifically to celebrate this long standing tradition. This year, we’ve tweaked the recipe slightly to add a touch more hoppiness, making it even more refreshing! (4.7% ABV) PLUS a portion of all proceeds from this beer supports YMCA Buffalo Niagara’s efforts to strengthen the WNY community.

Turkey Trotter is available beginning Thursday, October 3 on draft and in 6-packs of 12 oz cans at our tap room and online. (Shipping to NY & PA only) The beer will also be available at craft beer retailers and supermarkets across Western New York, including Tops, Wegmans, Dash’s, Consumer’s Beverages, and more, within the coming week.
