What better way to come together as a community than by sharing a beer?
Buffalo Beer Week is just days away and the Buffalo Niagara Brewers Association (BNBA) is ready to hit the ground running.
"Let's face it - beer brings people together so our theme this year is one of celebrating diversity and inclusiveness," said William Brooks, president of the BNBA.
With so many locally owned breweries in the City of Buffalo and the surrounding suburbs, beer is once again a big industry in Western New York.
"Buffalo Beer Week is a celebration of the booming craft beer industry that is providing jobs and encouraging community pride in our region," said Sam Hoyt, Regional President of Empire State Development Corporation.
